I have read months ago, that Epiphany 43 has support for Webextensions. Now i have installed Epiphany 45 but couldn’t find any trace of this. I would like to testdrive my own Extension, but this isn’t possible when its not supported.

    iirc you need to open xpi file in epiphany (right click -> open in… -> epiphany)

      Unfortunately this does not seem to work for me at least. Nautilus offers me to open it with “Web” and then Epiphany also opens. However, nothing else happens. Epiphany is version 45.1

      Using gsettings list-keys org.gnome.Epiphany gives:

      active-clear-data-items
      ask-for-default
      content-filters
      default-search-engine
      enable-caret-browsing
      homepage-url
      new-windows-in-tabs
      restore-session-delaying-loads
      restore-session-policy
      search-engine-providers
      search-engines
      start-in-incognito-mode
      use-google-search-suggestions
      warn-on-close-unsubmitted-data
      

      Shouldnt there be a enable-webextensions

      Ahh there is only no visible feedback. The extension is installed. But it doesn’t work as of now. First nothing is stored with storage API so that my values are not saved. Additionally i fear that the bookmark API is not supported as of yet. But i will retry it later, when my extension at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Extension/ is fully supported.
