Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.

However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.

Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)

Thanks a lot!

    Wait… You have encountered a website that doesn’t work on Firefox? :/ Like finding a needle in haystack.

      This is more common than you think. It’s usually not broken entirely, but firefox constantly breaks styling/css stuff on websites I use and build. I’ve had a few sites ask me to switch browsers because firefox doesn’t support x y or z feature too

      edit: for example, WebGPU support is currently lacking in FF https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status

      I use firefox, but I’m not blind to its few problems

        Never noticed an issue and if websites using only chrome supported features, it’s an issue with the website, not the browser.

          That’s one way to look at it. If a website works perfectly on chromium, but not firefox, why is this the website’s fault?

        This must be very specific and probably heavly bloated with unecessary stuff? (With probably alot of telemetry and other strange things…)

        I have never encountered any breaking of styling/css, except with some specific addons (no-script, heavy dns blocking, ublock in hard mode…)

        Not that I doub your claims, but if you have any example on hand I would be very open to give it a try and maybe learn something new in the web realm.

          I remember trying to style a range input slider a few years ago and it worked everywhere except firefox. I also had problems with the style of the <select> recently (inverted colors, wrong font). Not a big deal, I still drive firefox daily, but there are idiosyncrasies
