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?

I bought apple devices because their software support is solid and the user interface is pretty.

But the limitations were not worth the trade off. As there are now decent alternatives and I’m no longer stuck with just android on the phone side of things anymore. There have been quite a few advancements made in the linux phone area.

I now have pixel 3a with ubuntu touch, old thinkpad with linux mint, a steam deck and gaming rig with linux nobara. I got the whole 9-yards. I will using more of linux as time goes on.

Just use Lineage OS. It is the most mature as it is based on AOSP

Better yet: buy a newer Pixel and use GrapheneOS.

How's the battery life with the 3a? I feel like the battery has degraded to hell unless you replaced it but I am curious

I bought it used. The phone lasts me through alight, I would say it has the capacity for 4 hours of screen on time.

Though Ubuntu Touch drains more on standby so often when I'm in the mood to try it I have to replug it in.
