I quite like these safari extensions. They almost make up for the forced safari monopoly on iOS (but not really). I use dark reader on chrome for computers. They also have a safari extension that surprisingly works just as well. https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader https://darkreader.org/safari/ I'm concerned, though, whether these extensions work the same as chrome extensions. Can they view and potentially uploa…

Firefox had amazing support for mobile plugins. I haven’t checked in a while though. I assume Apple doesn’t permit this so you’re kinda limited with an iDevice. (he says from his iPhone)

Firefox still supports mobile plugins but, a while ago (IIRC last year), the plugin API changed, as a result currently the selection of available plugins is much smaller than it used to be. I should add that I haven't checked in a few months, maybe it's improved now.

If I trusted an app that I expect has to look at every url I ever visit, $3 is a no-brained.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way, Apple let you register URLs to redirect to your app, so I'm assuming they've just done this for AMP URLs and strip it back to a proper link and then open that using the system browser (whichever you have set).

uBlock Origin for Firefox Mobile (Fennec on F-Droid) is a killer feature. I cannot remember the last time I have seen an ad on my phone.

AdGuard (I think?) gets about 80% of them on Safari. But I agree uBlock Origin is amazing. It’s kind of Firefox’s killer feature.

You can accomplish this for free by simply switching your search engine to DuckDuckGo instead of Google.

I use Google because i) it displays stock price right on the search page. ii) it does match right on the search page.

If DuckDuckGo did smarter results like this, I'd quit Google. Heck I'd even throw in a few bucks.

Broad addons support is still locked behind the Nightly version, and you gotta do this weird dance to achieve it

Still the same a year later..
