Are you a Google Chrome user who appreciates the simplicity and productivity of desktop extensions? Unfortunately, Google doesn’t give Chrome on Android the same capabilities. To install and use Chrome extensions on your Android mobile browser, there are workarounds available.
Using Kiwi Browser to Install Chrome Extensions on Android
A step-by-step tutorial for adding Chrome extensions to Kiwi Browser may be found here:
Kiwi Browser can be downloaded from the Play Store.
Ensure that the most recent version is set up. If not, sideload the most recent version.
- Tap the three dots in the top-right corner of Kiwi Browser after launching it.
- Select “Extensions” from the menu.
- Toggle the switch in the top-right corner to “Developer Mode” on.
- To visit the Chrome Web Store on your mobile device, type the URL “https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions” into the browser’s address bar.
- To find the extension you want to install, search the Chrome Web Store. Additionally, you can use the search bar to look up a certain extension by name.
- When you have located the required extension, press it and choose “Add to Chrome”. Tap “OK” to confirm your decision, then hold tight as the extension installs.
- By selecting “Extensions” from the three dots in the top-right corner of Kiwi Browser, you can manage your installed extensions and enable, update, or remove them as necessary.
There is no guarantee that every Chrome extension will function flawlessly because not all of them have been designed for Android devices. But you can use many of your preferred Chrome extensions on your Android device by following these instructions.
Yandex Browser Installation of Chrome Extensions on Android
Yandex Browser is another Chromium-based browser that supports Chrome extensions for Android, just like Kiwi Browser does. Follow these instructions to install Chrome extensions on Android using Yandex Browser:

- Find the extension you wish to install using a search and tap on it.
