		medstrom on Feb 3, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Nyxt browser annotations beat pen and paper But it's interesting that Nyxt is planning to to have WebExtensions in addition to their own extension system. Feels like the sort of out-of-the-box thinking that maybe didn't occur to Mozilla back then (but I don't know the history). The unspoken presumption that it had to be just one system.

Agree.

The Orion browser that I like very much takes a similar approach: they let you install both Firefox and Chrome extensions.

Hopefully they and/or Librewolf will start providing APIs that will let us create even better "native" extensions for those browsers.
