Google Chrome is the most popular browser for desktop computers, and it has a lot of add-ons that make it even better.
Chrome doesn’t allow these extensions by default on Android phones, though.
Don’t worry! It is still possible to get your favorite Chrome add-ons to work on your Android phone.

FAQs:
Can Chrome extensions be installed on Android Chrome?

Android Chrome extensions may be installed in which browsers?
Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser are popular Chrome addon browsers. These browsers use Chromium, the same as Google Chrome.
Do all Chrome addons function on Android?
Some Chrome extensions are meant for desktop use and may not operate on Android. Issues may arise with the interface or functioning.
How to update Kiwi or Yandex Browser extensions?
These browsers automatically update extensions when new versions are available. By entering the browser extensions menu, you may typically force an update.
Kiwi Browser or Yandex Browser support all Chrome features?
Both browsers support most Chrome capabilities, although Google-specific functionality like account syncing and service integration may not.

Disable, adjust, or uninstall extensions in the browser’s extensions menu (usually in the settings or by typing chrome://extensions in the address bar).
It might seem strange to use Chrome apps on an Android phone, but browsers like Kiwi make it possible. But keep in mind that some extensions may not work perfectly on mobile because they were made for bigger desktop computers.
Make sure that any extensions you install are from developers you can trust, and always keep your safety in mind online. Have fun looking!
