It has extensions support for like 6 years at this point. Unless you got some extreme obscure extensions
Huh. I was under the impression that proper extension support (eg ublock origin) only came about recently?
Been working for a lomg time now.
Well then. I'm unsure what news article I read that spurred me to try Firefox on mobile, but that's my recollection of the order of events.
You are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.
I'm sorry you have been suffering ads all this time.
There were a few years when only a handful were supported. Before that it was as open as now, leaving compatibility responsibility to the extension developers.
