A long while starting with the Fenix rewrite in 2020. What's bizarre is they took a very tightly controlled approach to rolling out extensions instead of developing in the open and giving users the option to choose for themselves whether to use less stable features or untested extensions.
It was kind of bizarre; the attitude is more what I'd expect from Apple than an open source project. There was very little communication to the public about their reasoning, and what they did offer was pretty unsatisfying.
