> If I want only monitored stuff I may as well switch to Google...

I was thinking this to myself. I use firefox on android because I have a set of addons that I refuse to browse the web without. If firefox can't run the addons I want, I might as well switch to the builtin browser instead.

Mozilla seems to be banking on "a freer/opener web" being a convincing selling point on its own. But at that point, they might as well just rebadge chromium like all the others.

Corralling power users into a separate app version ala Nightly now comes across as a vain attempt at creating a longterm offramp to avoid backlash.

It really makes you think "what's the point?" about it all.

Well the built in browser is Chrome (on Android).

Come back and let me know how that works. :) Maybe you've forgotten the cesspool that the web has become, with all the crappy adverts and popups. I'm just glad I can run ublock-origin, the rest I'll wait for a bit.

>Allowing only extensions monitored by Mozilla is against the great free internet spirit that Mozilla was functioning under till now.

I feel the same way.. I would suggest to a have a LITTLE patience. They'll most likely get more extensions going forwards or people will fix the ones you use.
