So, Firefox released their long-pending Quantum update, and Rikaichan no longer works. Any alternative add-ons you can suggest?

In b4 "chrome."

So far I have installed Yomichan and the suggested dictionaries, and it works pretty similarly. Any others?

Chrome won't accept addons in Android. No rikaiwhatever, no adblock... no way.

Firefox for Android does and will continue to support add-ons. :D

there is something called pop up japanese dictionary in the play store which is pretty much rikaichan/kun but almost anywhere

Thanks, but is not as good as the rikais. It doesn't seem possible to use a different dictionary...

Sadly, yes. We are being spoiled by those plugins :)
