The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to explore new creative possibilities for mobile browser customization.

What are some of your favorite new Firefox for Android extensions?

Hey Everyone, what are your favourite extensions (either already using or that you are excited to be able to use) and also whats a great example of a website that is most noticeably improved for each that extension?

On android I'm pretty basic:

uBlock Origin
JShelter
LibRedirect
Dark Reader

On PC I'm using some more:

uGet integration
Video Download Manager (grabbing links for yt-dlp)
SideBerry
Bitwarden

and probably some others I forgot right now. I also try to not use to many addons

Dark reader, ublock origin, sponsorblock, and background video play fix. This mostly improves YouTube.

Thanks for saying! I found an alt you tube app so i rarely use youtube in browser, because its so bad. Maybe i will have to see what its like with those

The main issue I've experienced is the video will go to like 15fps. Toggling to another resolution and back clears it up tho.

If you are self hosting front end alternatives like teddit or nitter,, libredirect is a great tool. Now, even when I browse the internet on my tablet, the extension will redirect to my server instance instead

Not gonna lie... I'm becoming old and dont really know what people on lemmy say when they talk about self hosting. It seems like it's a much different thing that does stuff in not aware of. Lol

Now wheres the grandkids i dont have to show me how to do this.. like i had to show my grandparents how to use their VCR

Lol

Self hosting means having an application run on your own server. The easiest introduction is probably using raspberrypi to run something like Jellyfin
