Some parts of the container API is not available on Android unfortunately. No container extension will work until that is fixed.

A bit of background...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umidigi_A9

The device is marketed at a price of US$500; in comparison, the Umidigi A9 Pro retails for US$120, a little less than a quarter the price of the Freedom Phone. The Freedom Phone website did not initially publish specifications for the phone, but incomplete information was later published. Finman confirmed to The Daily Beast that the Freedom Phone was manufactured by Umidigi.

In a review of the product, CNET said that the $500 Freedom Phone appeared to be "nearly on par with a $200 budget Android phone."

The phone comes with rebranded Aurora Store and calls it " 'uncensorable' Freedom Phone app store"

As pointed out by XDA's Mishaal Rahman on Twitter, the phone's "PatriApp" Store appears to be no more than a rebranded Aurora Store, an open source client for the Play Store.

As far as getting "censored" apps onto the Freedom Phone, the plan seems to be to preload them. The phone ships with apps for right-wing outlets and services like Newsmax, OANN, Parler, and Rumble.

Reddit dropping FF Android support??? in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

I think that happens only for some subreddits like r/piracy,imatotalpieceofshit etc. that they deemed 'problematic' or something so they force the app on all posts.

If you are using uBlock Origin I think this filter removes the element: www.reddit.com##xpromo-untagged-content-blocking-modal

[Poll] Should lemmy's RSS link field go to the link URL, or the lemmy /post/... url? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

Definitely to the post comments, imo. Sometimes links contain enough ads/trackers/analytics that I don't even open them and the discussion around it helps to get a good overview and also prevents link rot.
