It would be great if people could add their own extensions at will. However that is not possible. As I said in the initial post… Epiphany/Gnome Web did have extensions but dropped support because that method was too maintenance heavy. So as of now, there are NO options for Gnome Web. So having ‘Shields’ integrated is not a bad secondary option. HTTPS is already integrated in Gnome Web, but many don’t realize it. And if you actually looked at Brave shields, the user has the ability to select which one they want enabled, all, or none. I never once mentioned that the user did not have control. That is why I put the link to Brave Shields so people can actually take a look at how they work. Maybe you should give them a look? However, as of now, Gnome will not have extensions of add-ons. They have made it clear it is not visible. Shields may not be the perfect solution but it is a pretty good one given the alternative. But it has given Brave Browser users the very basics they need for privacy and security. I see no reason to do the same here.
