Add extensions to popular Android browsers?
Is there any simple way to make extensions work on your Android phone with popular working browsers like Chrome or Microsoft Edge, or do you have to download other browsers for this to work out? If there is a simple solution, does anyone know how to go forward with it?

I am trying to avoid any kind of sexual stimulation and want to block video content on any browser. I was looking for browsers which provide this functionality but could not find one. These are the browsers which I found
1. Atlas Browser
2. Lightning Browser
3. No image Browser
4. Habit Browser
All these browsers block only images in the browser. But I need a specific one which can block videos only. Finally, I found one such that blocks both images and videos but this functionality cannot be separated. The browser is Purity - Safe Porn less Browser.
I want to know if this functionality is separatable? Can we block images and videos separately? This browser needs subscription ; so does anyone know about any such browser that does not support flash or video files.
Important question : Can we practically block images and videos separately or are they correlated?

I've been trying to find a method to export all my currently open tabs in the Android Firefox browser. Unfortunately this seem impossible from default browser installation and very hard to do from command line as the SQLite3 database that Firefox is using, contains too many tables and hard to find the right query.
Apparently this is possible for Google Chrome using [THESE](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/56635/how-can-i-export-the-list-of-open-chrome-tabs) hacks.
I would like to have each URL on a separate line in a text file.

I (seem to) have installed the [Meet Attendance](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/meet-attendance/nenibigflkdikhamlnekfppbganmojlg?hl=en) Chrome extension for Google Meet by claycodes.org from Chrome Web store from my Android phone. The site responded by messaging that it has been _added to the desktop_.
But I find that the feature is not enabled when I start Google Meet on my Android phone, because I can not see the *checkbox icon* representing "Meet Attendance" during the Google Meet session.
Can I have this feature enabled so that I can use it on my Android phone?

How to permanently enable desktop mode on a browser app?
The tablet is brand new so rooted methods are not an option. I seem to remember there being a Firefox add on that had a similar function, which is now dead and and buried. Are there any other tricks out there?

I want to find a folder, where Firefox for Android is keeping files generated by installed add-ons (list of saved tabs in OneTab, for example).
I've tried to do a full root file system search (e.g.
onetab.html, store.json) and looked insede specific app folders (e.g. /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox). Found nothing but the .xpi extension files.
According to Help @ one-tab.com, tabs data is located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile Folder\jetpack\extension@one-tab.com\simple-storage\store.json for a Windows desktop version. On Android, using rooted Amaze, I've found nothing similar.
Where should I search next? Are those files even visible for a root user?

I have a Samsung SM-P900 tablet that I bought specifically to watch professional education videos during a long commute. Unfortunately almost immediately after that the videos I want to watch the most, generally relating to statistics and R programming and hosted on the RStudio website, switched from an easily downloadable format to hosting via the Wikia media player. I have been able to download a handful since then by looking at the page code, but it is a lot of work and the rules keep changing, and I have not been able to download the more recent videos to either my tablet or Windows machine with any amount of effort. I've faced similar problems with the JW Player and a few others. All of these videos are free and I want to download them solely for my own use.
My question: Is there a reasonably straightforward way, perhaps involving an app, of capturing such videos that works consistently over time and across players? It seems like there's got to be a way to interpose a (software) recording device between the player and the screen, but I have not found it. It might need to reassemble streaming video from the pieces that arrive.
My OS is the Resurrection Remix versin of Android 7.1.2.

The answer to how to download PDFs leads to a link describing that Dolphin mini uses google docs for opening pdf and other documents .
From a programmers perspective this is a nice solution - the content is just passed to a web-service that displays the content on the browser.
But what if you do not like Google to read your pdfs at all?
What if you want to download a pdf, but the links to do so is generated so you can not press longer on it to start a download instead?
So as a follow up this question arises: How can I completely disable that google-docs-feature in Dolphin Mini?
