Let me add this niche search engine. Hmm, can't add directly. Extension? For a search engine? Certainly not, this is just a URL with string replacement after all.
I have added a custom search engine before, how hard can it be?
Mozilla: "Hold my club-mate infused sugar-free root beer!"
@murks Funny thing is — you can add a new search engine by entering URL with %s placeholder manually in Firefox for Android, but not the desktop version! They really want you to go to this Mycroft Project website and find something that fits your needs or use the extension. This is insane!
@m0xee Oh wow, also possible in Fennec. How crazy is that?
I was not aware of https://mycroftproject.com, it seems at least better than adding an extension. Still, no clue what is actually added through those "plugins".
@m0xee Yeah that's what I'd expect too, but who knows? You have no idea which URL it is actually using until you have used it. Firefox only shows a human readable name, I don't see any way to see the actual search URL.
