But when they were sorting out the Web Manifest v3, they designed it with desktop and mobile in mind, so new extensions won't have problems. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bankimu@lemm.ee 14 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest. I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 point 3 years ago It would be nice to have stuff here to break this down permalink fedilink source parent
