Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla code base without Servo or Rust.

Any plans to reimplement WebExtensions?

Basilisk used to support them before being taken out by the old team. Now it's got a new dev team working on it I'm wondering if they'll be brought back in as a secondary option at all. I'd love to switch to it but I kinda rely on a good chunk of extensions that aren't available as XUL addons.

I figure given that you have previously gone on record as not giving a shit about what addons are used, that it'd be less of a controversial thing to just ask about lmao. I know moonchild et al would go apeshit for asking something like this but you seem considerably chiller about it.

MTube compatibility

I tried to install the MTube addon on the Basilisk Addons site, but apparently it is not compatible with the latest version of Basilisk, which I find odd. Is there a way to fix this? I am not too familiar with how XUL addons work internally. I am using Basilisk v2023.10.03.
