Mozilla broke extensions on desktop Firefox before and lost many users. Can't help but wonder what the hell are their product managers thinking? How can I recommend Firefox if they keep breaking it with little regard for users?
Is there another browser that supports uBlock Origin for Android? I'm not talking about biased half baked built-in ad blockers, I want the full open source extension.
This also happened a short time after Mozilla previously broke addons with the e10s changes, requiring many (most?) of them to be rewritten.
Basically, people don't trust Mozilla to handle transitions well any more, even when they happen to be worthwhile transitions.
It's not clear what you're asking. Mozilla changed the add-on API, and the new API does not have all the features that the old API had. Two add-ons that I liked very much died during the switch.
Do you have the data for this? I know I live in a techie bubble, but it sure doesn't fit with my experience or the experiences of others I know who talk about it.
"Has Add-on" has been between 33-38% for the last two years.

For browsers this seems like a bit too long without updates. I can imagine maintaining such project is demanding but hopefully the project can gain more attention now with the new version of Firefox breaking extensions on Android.
The browser seems to get regular enough updates on play store, has decent ad blocking (at least good enough for my purposes) and to date has the best night mode out of all android browsers I've tried.
No white flashes like I've faced in Firefox for Android. The dark mode applies to the whole of the browser UI.
I use Bromite, Firefox for Android or Fenix mostly equally during the day and Kiwi at night.
Though the fact that it is not open source may put some people off.
