I use Fennec, and it allows adding any Desktop extension (idontcareaboutcookies, privacyredirect etc.).
Only if you register with AMO.

If anyone needs a "monkey" not for web pages but for any process on your computer system, may I recommend Frida: https://frida.re https://github.com/frida/frida With Frida, you write JavaScript programs and then inject them into arbitrary processes, to hook and modify and call whatever you please. It gets a lot of use in the reverse engineering and vulnerability research communities, but has broader scope too. For in…

What exactly is better in ViolentMonkey? Just want to know because I keep working with userscripts and after GreaseMonkey's collapse TamperMonkey has been my default userscript manager.
ViolentMonkey at least seemed to be the only one that worked in my Firefox with NoScript enabled on a site. And since I was occasionally writing script snippets to fix stupid uses of JS to unhide images/html, that was nice.
It was a bit (nice) surprised for me to see many sites is really usable in noscript-mode.
Greasemonkey was the good one and then something happened with it and it was no longer the best choice. I'm not sure what. The same repeated with Tampermonkey. It now has telemetry built into it, at one time w/ no privacy policy. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/6hs59w/tampermonke... The good one now is Violentmonkey. Has been for some time. Does Mozilla have an allowlist for these? If so I don't like it.

Iceraven has had this capability forever, no big announcement required. If you want to use Firefox on android and don't want to deal with these artificial restrictions and excuses for bad behavior just get iceraven and call it a day.
What's the difference between Iceraven and Fennec?
"Note that Iceraven Browser includes some unstable code written by Mozilla, with our own added modifications on top, all shipped with the stable version of GeckoView engine."
I wouldn't use iceraven if security was a priority.
Fennec on the other hand is much closer to FF , quoting their page :
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/
"Fennec F-Droid is based on the latest Firefox release (codenamed Fenix).
It has proprietary bits and telemetry removed, but still connects to
various Mozilla and Google services that can track users."
More importantly for me at least, ClearURLs. Now I can share nice stripped down Amazon links. Never used Tampermonkey before.

A big thing for me is that Tampermonkey is not open source. And yes, Firefox on Android has an allowlist of "known working good" extensions, the reason given being that Firefox for Android doesn't implement everything the Desktop version implements and IIUC, want to a avoid users blaming the browser when something breaks because of it.
It really is bizzare, old Firefox used to support all addons, then they shipped a new version and only allowed like 10 addons, and to this day they don't allow any more. It's already been years. I know my addon works fine on mobile, but they provide no means of specifying that*. I tried to email them for it to become "recommended" but never heard back. The fact that they allow tampermonkey which allows any kind of sc…
PS: Meanwhile I do not understand why is Ghostery included in that tinny allowed addons list (and now Tampermonkey).

better sandbox, "feels" faster, zero Mozilla telemetry ;)
you're just replacing Mozilla telemetry with Google telemetry.
Mozilla to-date refuses to build a one button switch to disable all telemetry [0] and there's calls to telemetry domains such as location.services.mozilla.com you cannot stop on some of their products like Firefox Focus (ironic for a privacy product).

Ah yes, an addon whitelist. How very community friendly of Mozilla... And they wonder why their market share plummets the way it does, making such extremely user hostile decisions like that.
Playing devil's advocate here, don't they need to protect their users from nefarious add ons that could steal data?

Another way to do this is to add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/mas... to uBlockOrigin as a custom filter list.
I don't understand. Is there a video showing how to do this?
