We’re still a long way from a universal Kodi update system, but it’s clear we’ve made some progress in the last year.
With the release of the latest Kodi 11.1, the community has been able to install and update their Kodi addons as they see fit.
In the meantime, you can try to find out which updates are compatible with your browser and addons, and which ones won’t.
The Globe and Mail recently ran a quick search for the best and most compatible Kodi add-ons to find your way around.
To help you, we’ve gathered together the best ones to get you up and running with Kodi 11, the newest version.

Firefox now requires at least Firefox 19.
To get this latest update, click on the Firefox add-on in the main toolbar, then click on Settings.
In Firefox’s main menu, scroll down to “About Firefox” and select “Update.”
Firefox should then install the latest Firefox addons.
This will require that you update the browser version in your browser.
2.
Opera Opera is the latest browser to get Firefox, and with the latest version of the update, the browser is now more compatible with the upcoming Universal Kodi update.
Opera’s updated version of Firefox now includes an optional feature that can help with security and privacy.
If you’re running Firefox 24.5, or later, the add-in will allow you to set a privacy preference that will automatically set your browser to use the latest and greatest version of security fixes for any websites you visit.
You can do this from within the add on’s settings.
