info

Note about Firefox Availability:
We’ve had to temporarily remove the Firefox extension from the store due to the Mozilla review team’s decision to enforce certain terms. These terms include changes that are partially non-feasible and not reasonable for any app developer to implement, affecting our ability to operate and monetize the app. As a result, Mozilla reverted our extension to an outdated version, making it unusable. We are actively working to find a resolution and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Installation Steps

1. Click the extension link for your browser above
2. Add the extension to your browser
3. Open a new tab - daily.dev will now be your homepage

Alternative Browsers

For Safari, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and other browsers, use our Progressive Web App (PWA) which provides the same core functionality as the extension.
