minus-squareladfrombrad 🇬🇧@lemdro.idMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 年前Wonder why they haven’t nuked them on desktop Chrome then, where extensions are a plenty? Is mobile a much more juicy fruit for their advertisers, or is it like said elsewhere in here more a technical thing?

minus-squareEddieTee77@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前But what I don’t get is why doesn’t Microsoft or someone large like that bundle extensions into their browser. I know Samsung has app based ones but I wish it could be built in and have ublock origin etc
