removing ID checking doesn't make things not intend to work on other platforms becoming work in sudden

you didn't understand me.
The point is not to add anything to the extension manifest. You need to change it in the browsers themselves so that there is simply no checking. This will only make it easier for many users to install extensions.
And the fact that most extensions do not work due to code incompatibility is a completely different question.
For example, I already gave an example of https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/deCDN/ which is not installed in basilisk.

I'm 99% sure that he DOES understand.

And I agree with roytam.  He is here to support his brower variants.  He is not here to support extensions.

His browsers are NOT 'technically' *modern*.  Removing ID checking would open up a whole can of worms where the "userbase" would ASSUME that *modern* extensions are supposed to "work".

Roytam's browsers are only 80% modern.  Sure, we could debate if that is actually 80% or 90% or 98%.  But the reality is that they are NOT 100%!

Why in Hades would roytam open his browsers up to an onslaught of support enquiries asking why a thousand extensions do not work because they rely on the 20% (or 10% or 2%) that his browsers simply cannot "do"?

The comment is not addressed to you, so don't interfere in someone else's conversation !

I am interested in the developer's response.

Without such a fix, a lot of potential users will abandon such a browser at the very beginning. Considering that the main source of extensions for it is Classic Add-ons Archive. And only about 2-5% of WE (for basilisk) extensions from the mozilla site.

removing ID check means inappropriate extensions that can break browser hard to be installed. so I can't let this option available.

if you are confident an extension that will work, open it up with archiver and modify its manifest adding my browser's ID instead.
