Being able to install extensions

[Sitolam]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was trying to install extensions from the Chrome Web Store when I noticed that that isn't possible. 😥

Describe the solution you'd like, including relevant patches or source
I would like to be able to install extensions like in Kiwi Browser. 😎

Additional Notes
I like this project a lot. 🤪
Good work. 🫡

this project is indeed amazing, the browser is smooth and fast.. if extension support was added I'd ditch all other browsers all together.

Thanks for the advice

@Alex313031 you did awesome job with browsers buddy,if possible can you add support for extensions like kiwi browser did for android , kiwi browser for android is also open source project which you can refer to if you need some guidance or idea for implementations and make this the best performance based browser with extension support on android.kiwi does have some glitches and issue but still i am using it rn because of extensions support. hope you add support for extension soon :-)

[GeorgelPreput]

+1 for this idea. Been using Kiwi Browser for a while, would love to have the extension support in Thorium Android too

There is no guarantee that this issue will be resolved quickly.

The existing patches on the Internet are relatively old and require a lot of refactoring work.

+1 Would be a huge win if it was implemented. Being able to run full extensions like Ublock Origin would be very nice.

I'm also looking for this. Unfortunately I can't switch browsers on android until extension support is implemented.

Microsoft Edge for Android is adding support for extensions as of this year, you can already play around with it in Canary today. If these changes to the codebase are going to reach upstream, that would make it leagues easier for this project to implement.

If you have nothing better to say than +1, or that you like the idea, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all, reactions exist for a reason. People sub to these threads for status updates and alike, this isn't Reddit or 4chan, each time you make useless bumps, you ping people for no reason 😕.

If a single notification every couple of weeks is such a huge deal to you then maybe you should unsubscribe from the thread. Unsubscribing exists for a reason. Personally this is the last problem and deal breaking issue which prevents me from using this on android and I find those expressing interest in the same feature important for gauging interest. Such comments also act as a reminder to the dev to get on it. Grab a tissue and settle down.

All of Alex's work on thorium projects is volunteer hours. Bump comments to remind him to "get on it" are no more than entitlement and spam. There's a reason Refined Github automatically hides "+1" comments and many repos have bots that automatically hide them.

Is it a bummer that Firefox is slow on android and the rest of the options kinda suck for one reason or another? Yeah. But until Alex is being given a significant financial incentive by this community we shouldn't expect anything. This repo in particular seems to be have been nothing more than a pet project for him, not something with lots of work and commitment behind it like the desktop browser.

So is whining about notifications for a thread you're subscribed to and your self-righteous virtue signalling that contributes equally as little. Honestly, speed isn't everything in a browser and I would give up half of it if it meant more time allocated towards extension support because the internet without adblock is an intolerable dumpster fire. I've personally done just that opting to instead use Iceraven on android.

Either way, until such time that you put your money where you mouth is, providing significant financial donations, you aren't in any position to be criticising others in the exact same boat that post comments that don't align with your opinion.

I see pet project coding as no different than any other hobby and like a lot of hobbyists, devs are free to quit at any time. Github is full of abandoned projects "for a reason". Keep that in mind.

I simply stated that this isn't what issue trackers are for, they're for getting updates on the issues.

That's a lot of incorrectly used buzzword adjectives.

self-righteous

There's 0 moral discussion here.

virtue signaling

How am I seeking any social points by saying, I don't want to be pinged for your pointless comments? This isn't what issue trackers are for. If you want this type of social media experience, go to 4chan, Reddit, or Discord, not here.

If you don't understand what this site's for, that's on you. Stop blaming others for your retarded behavior when called out on it, you sound like an absolute child whose only coping mechanism for facing their mistakes is throwing tantrums.

I didn't comment, I only spoke up because Alex isn't active, and hasn't cleaned this thread themselves yet. Alex isn't responsible to close this issue, they don't even get paid for that. Take a step back and realize that your whole comment comes from a feeling of entitlement. If you don't want to be a nuisance to the repo, open a PR and implement the functionality yourself instead of being a waste of oxygen.

How about you stop being a waste of oxygen and keep the projects you care about alive, instead of complaining in a corner like some kind of regretful cuck.

[gz83]

Sorry, Alex has been unable to handle anything related to the github repo due to some unexpected reasons recently.

We have always wanted to enable the Android version to support the installation and management of extensions, and we are currently still looking for solutions to install and manage extensions.

@brian6932

Just because you're too much of a mouth breather to comprehend what I said, doesn't mean that the terminology is wrong. Also learn what context is and that the world doesn't revolve around you. My reference to morality was directed to mulverinex hence why I never quoted you specifically dumbass.

How rich that you claim others are "entitled" simply for repeatedly requesting what is obviously an in demand feature yet you started on this path of idiocy crying about receiving what literally amounts to a single email notification twice a month TO A THREAD YOU WILLINGLY SUBSCRIBED TO because the content doesn't align with your pedantic view of "what github should be used for". It's quite evident that your comment regarding temper tantrums was purely projection because the kids on the street don't play the game your way.

With that being said, I also suggest you quit speaking for the devs. All that pandering looks desperate and I'm sure that time could be better allocated to opening one of those pull requests you mention. God forbid the dirty peasants make a request that you don't agree with, how terrible we must be /sarcasm - because I know you aren't smart enough to discern the difference.

I believe the correct term is "brain damaged" in regards to pedant warrior brian.
