Right now, my default is Cromite, and I occasionally use Brave as well. I have tried Firefox with uBO, but unfortunately it is slower than the aforementioned browsers and also lacks some features. I’ve also heard that Gecko-based browsers in general have a security issue on Android, but I don’t know the details. Which browser(s) do you use/recommend and why?

      Hi sem

      I open Ironfox

      press the top right burger menu

      press the extensions.

      you will be redirected to the Mozilla add-ons site.

      you can search for add-ons from there.

      check to see if another browser is able to access mozilla add-ons

      https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/

      If it still fails, I would check your settings.

      here are mine:

      HTTPS_Only mode on in all tabs

      DNS over HTTPS off

      this is off because my VPN manages my DNS

      enhanced tracking protection strict

      If you have a VPN installed

      Maybe that might be locked down, blocking the internet, preventing you from accessing the internet

      I would also disable U-block just to see if it works disabled

          hey Sem

          I had not seen that.

          Oddly my “Allow installation of add-ons” is unselected and set to blank.

          Why can’t I install add-ons/extensions?

          By default, due to privacy and security concerns, IronFox disables the installation of add-ons. This has no impact on already installed extensions, and updates to those extensions.

          To allow the installation of add-ons, at the cost of security, you can navigate to Settings -> IronFox -> IronFox settings -> Security, and select the option to Allow installation of add-ons. It is recommended to disable this option when you are done installing your desired extension(s).

          I wonder if it is to do with the repo:

          I know it took ages to be released to f-droid and droid-ify and was only available from the git repo.

          I installed the repo from here

          to add the repo to f-droid or f-droid basic

          I hope you sort it out
