Google is working on a new version of Chrome for Android that supports browser extensions, but it might not be available for mobile devices.
But not those extensions…

I don’t know why to took so long for any of the major browsers to support extension on mobile
Extension developer information from Firefox explains why it was necessary to make some technical changes. What they’ve never explained to my satisfaction is why they took a cautious, curated approach to it reminiscent of Apple.
The typical approach of a large open source project is to put a “here there be dragons” sign on unstable features and let anyone who wishes to use them anyway do so at their own risk, and that’s the approach I prefer.
now that they got rid of uBlock Origin…
Kiwi Browser has offered an Android build of Chromium that will install and attempt to run any extension available for desktop Chrome. Most of them work.
Firefox also recently regained reasonable extension support on Android, which was a slow and frustrating process for those of us who had used it before.
Is there something about chromium that makes people stick to it? I’m sure the kiwi browser is good, but why not just use firefox or Mull Browser from the creators of divestOS.
Firefox’s new UI still lacks a tablet-optimized interface, for example.
typing this from firefox on a tablet ;)
I use Firefox almost all the time, but I’ve run into a few sites that act up, and the rate seems to be increasing. Sometimes I complain.
When Firefox had a tiny set of permitted extensions, I used Kiwi most of the time.
