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." https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61676 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] [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions [2]: https://browserext.github.io/browserext/
it would be great +1 any news?
