    For those who don’t know yet: Firefox Nightly for Android let you install any extension you desire.

    You just need to create a custom collection on the web site and link your ID in nightly.

      Same for Firefox forks, Mull and Fennec.

        Yep. I always mention Fennec who may hesitate to use Beta since it’s a stable release with full add-on support.

        I’ve never tried Mull.

          Not an expert but as I’ve understood it it’s pretty similar to Fennec, less tracking and more private than your regular Firefox. I don’t know anything about either ones development team size or activity either so I can’t recommend one over the other. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in.

            Mull’s made by the people at DivestOS

            They have a browser comparison of some popular android browsers including Fennec and Mull https://divestos.org/pages/browsers
