Please make the extension available on Firefox Android

Open balazsgerlei opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I'm not sure what is needed for an extension to appear in the Android version of Firefox, but I see that it is (currently) a very limited list. This extension is very useful and would be maybe even more useful on mobile where a lot of my contacts regularly send URLs with tracking code and getting rid of these is rather cumbersome (much more so than on desktop) so please make this add-on/extension available there too!

Thank you!

@balazsgerlei In the meantime you may find this web app useful: https://linkcleaner.kalinow.ski It integrates with the Android share menu for easy use: Install it as an app, use share menu from Firefox, share with Link Cleaner, and from Link Cleaner click share. Also works as a Siri shortcut on iOS.

It is a fork of a project of a similar project but with ClearURLs logic instead. For simplicity, it's using an embedded version of the ClearURLs rules.

for completeness, the availability of extensions on Firefox/android is not decided by the add-on developer, rather by Mozilla.

As you point out @balazsgerlei the Firefox/Android add-ons choice is pretty limited and this is unfortunate. There is a trick to extend this list using a custom add-on collection (never tested, though).
