Forgot to mention

I noticed that the Flatpak & Appimage are listed as separate platforms.  Snap isn't part of the list.

It appears from my research that being able to add Chromium (Chrome) extensions to Falkon depends on QtWebEngine adding this functionality, which it currently does not have.

Here is a link to a QtWebEngine request which received this reply dated 19 Mar 2019: "Tentatively considered for Qt 5.14."

Hopefully we will get this capability eventually.

Does this involve making a basic layer for building extensions or going as far as adding extension support as outlined by Mozilla?[1]

One could just go for the one outlined by the W3C community group[2]

It would be great to have the extensions from Chrome and Firefox work in Falkon - I would speed up the development and adoption of Falkon

Comment 9 Rigoberto Leyva Salmeron 2022-11-20 22:46:01 UTC

Having Chrome and Firefox extensions work in Falkon would help speed up development and adoption of Falkon browser.
