Indeed that would work but it is definitely more difficult to set up and maintain. New workflow (enter data), new action (enter files). And so on. But I do love Alfred!
> It really is bizzare, old Firefox used to support all addons
It never did though? In my recollection the old version had an Android-only extensions API, and only a few extensions ever supported it. At least now, in theory, any extension can run on Android, which is great.
Compared to desktop certainly, but in absolute numbers it still weren't actually that few, and certainly much more than the mere 22 (!) add-ons (as of today) that can currently be installed.

What good is that theory if in practice I actually can't make use of it?
Besides, the transition to webextensions happened with Firefox 57, and support for webextensions was added to the old Fennec-based Android Firefox, too. True, not the full API available on Desktop was ported, but that's no different from the situation today, and yet at that time there were no artificial restrictions on what add-ons were able to be installed on Android.
And even with the webextension API, to some extent extensions still need to be specifically designed to properly work on Android, too (especially if they need to display any sort of UI)…
> New Annex (Part I): It requires that mobiles phones and the similar radio devices, if they are capable to be recharged via wired charging, are equipped with the USB Type-C receptacle and, if they also require charging at voltages higher than 5 volts or currents higher than 3 amperes or powers higher than 15 watts , incorporate the USB Power Delivery charging communication protocol.
Nintendo will have to get its crap together and properly support Power Delivery, the burden is not on you.
I find inline links incredibly disruptive to my reading flow, the change in color makes my eyes start jumping around in the text. Wikipedia especially is absolutely hopeless, to the point where I've built a mirror that removes all inline links. (A page looks like this: https://encyclopedia.marginalia.nu/wiki/Hyperlink )
Just make it the same color. For me links on HN are underlined but the same color as regular text or a slightly dimmer gray if already visited. It's one of the first things I do when I install a new browser and if it's hard that browser doesn't stay installed long.
Just found this FF add-on [1], yesterday, which removes all links from a page. Works reasonably well. Can also invoke reader view after removing links and get the benefits there.
There must be other reasons, if it doesn't make sense technologically, no? Instagram also has the tech to show more than 3 images in a row, and Twitter could allow longer texts if they wanted so.
