WebExtensions are already supported in Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Edge and Opera. Adding the same support would be awesome. I also miss some extensions which make browsing so much more fun. So, if it's possible, please ad the possibility to add them. The only reason I am not using Falkon is because I cannot install uMatrix, uBlock Origin and HTTPS everywhere. (sorry but Adblock Plus is not a replacement for the above) Yes, supporting the lots of existing webextensions is much better than waiting for someone to create new Falkon extensions.

And several bundled extensions in Falkon could also be convert to WebExtension. It's not possible to implement WebExtensions support in Falkon, it needs to be done in QtWebEngine. > It's not possible to implement WebExtensions support in Falkon, it needs to be done in QtWebEngine.
Then why was QtWebEngine chosen in the first place? What is so good about it that justifies such a significant limitation?

Yes, I created a feature request in their bug tracker. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTWB-35 (In reply to Volga from comment #8) > (In reply to David Rosca from comment #6) > > It's not possible to implement WebExtensions support in Falkon, it needs to > > be done in QtWebEngine. > Yes, I created a feature request in their bug tracker. > https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTWB-35 Great work! Thank You! Maybe we get a chance this way... :) ( still, you've quoted David bad: He said "it's not possible" and you quoted "it's not IMpossible" ) :p |
