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 mean, that's not surprising though is it? If a FOSS tool I made has an additional feature that requires my own backend to support, then there has to be a backend to support it.

The FE that uses it is still FOSS, and one could always build their own API to the specs outlined by the client.

They could OSS their server side code ofc, that'd be cool. But that also takes sometimes double the effort to do well, and keep custom tweaks and changes either separate and proprietary, or build out a complex way for them to be dynamically injected. So I don't really blame them on that one tbh.
