Yes, it needs third party extensions.
What's the difference then?
Is it the same software, a rebrand, a publishing team change?
It's a fork.
Lawyers went after Tachi Devs, Devs abandon Tachi, new Devs forked Tachi and made Mihon.
It's a fork, done by a previous Tachiyomi developer and maybe a TachiyomiSY developer too. So it's partly a publishing team change, as the main developers are different.
Since Mihon is exactly the same as Tachiyomi, besides changed branding and requiring Android 8+, it's also a rebrand.
Edit: It's also functionally exactly the same software.
