📜 New Features from Floorp Flasco (formerly Floorp Test) ​

  • Installation of Chrome Extensions is now supported!

You can test all new features from Floorp Flasco by changing the "Participation Policy" to "Always Participate" from about:hub#/about/updates.

When you open the Chrome Web Store in Floorp, an "Add to Floorp" button will appear. Clicking this allows you to install Chrome extensions. However, since Firefox and Chrome use different APIs, some extensions may not work properly, or may not be installable at all.

Floorp addresses this incompatibility by replacing some APIs with its own, or by removing implementations from the extension altogether.

These extensions are reviewed and provided by Google, not Mozilla. Therefore, a warning stating that the extension is not trusted will appear.
