safari has been able to do this for years

~~Vivaldi~~ I meant Kiwi (chromium) also uses the regular chrome web store.

Also, I thought there was a previous version of Firefox Mobile that had access to the desktop add-ons site.

Firefox mobile used to have mobile add-ons but it was separate and naturally therefore more limited.

I thought add-ons were supported in ff mobile, too… I don’t use it, but I’m sure I’ve heard about it...

[–] TheWildTangler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It supports mobile extensions but not the same desktop browser extensions
