New feature in nightly? :o
(lemmy.ml)
I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.
Firefox is all I ever used on desktops and I would love to install Firefox on Android, but until they let me set a custom homepage it's not an option. I can't be arsed to make an extra click to get to my selfhosted dashboard which has links to all my most frequented sites and services. It's a fundamental function, so how they have not fixed it is beyond me. Until then I'm using Kiwi which is Chromium based but it is open source, has built in ad blocking, and also supports extensions like uBlock Origin. And I'm pretty sure it was the first Android browser to have the bottom address bar.
Wait, I can change my homepage URL on iPhone. I find it hard to believe that’s an option exclusive to iPhone.
Edit: it’s at the bottom of the settings>homepage tab
You can't do it on Android, it's not an option... Google it if you want to verify it.
Sorry, I didn’t mean “I can’t believe” as in “I think you’re lying” but “I can’t believe” as in “what an absurd feature to leave out on android”.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood, but yeah, we agree then, it's crazy. And what is crazier is that it did work a few years ago, and then at some point they removed it.

So yeah, doesn't seem like a priority and might not get fixed for a long, long time... so until then I'm using Kiwi.
No worries, I most definitely could have phrased it a lot better.
Having the feature then losing it is even whackier. 🥴 Especially I’d think their focus would be android users and making sure it’s up to date/functioning for them.
