Here's hoping they migrate to wiki.gg as Terraria's contributors have a while ago.

I'm pleased to hear that they're moving. Fandom's had a monopoly on the community-created wiki space for far too long, and it's had a dire effect on the usability of so many wikis. It's like they're trying to make their site everything but a easily usable resource for community wikis.

On a related note, I highly recommend the "Indie Wiki Buddy" extension for Chrome and Firefox. When non-Fandom/Fextralife wikis are available, it'll direct you to those instead; and when they're not, it'll allow you to view the Fandom wiki through a much more usable mirror.

If this was available for FF on Android I would be a happy man. Thank you for your comment though. I installed on my laptop!

Use android dev or a fork like Fennec, set your own addon collection, then install any addon on mobile by adding it to your collection. Bit more annoying than it should be, but once set up allmost as convenient as on desktop

What do you mean by "android dev"?

The developer test version.
I wanna say originally it was only "Firefox Nightly for Developers", now "Firefox Beta for Testers" allows it too.

You can install any extension you want, but it's a bit of a process. https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/

Some other unofficial Firefox builds enable it too. I recommend Fennec on F-Droid, which has some minor privacy improvements and otherwise mirrors the release build, not the beta build.
