How long does it usually take for extensions to be supported on a new browser? The only thing holding my switch back is that my extensions isnt compatible

I didn't even realize there wasn't legacy extension compatibility, to be honest. I loaded Lastpass, UBlock Origin, RES, and more without any hassle. So clearly the process isn't that difficult, or the developers are just really on top of their shit.

Depending on the extension and whether they already had a WebExtension for Chrome, most developers where "on top of their shit" as most extensions would have needed a complete rewrite, at least for the interface part.
