Try out some of these well-liked options on your smartphone now that you know how to install Chrome extensions on Android.

There are many different extensions available for the Chrome web browser, which adds to the enjoyment of browsing.

For those who don’t know, extensions are little programs that increase the browser’s capability.

With Chrome extensions, you may enhance privacy, browse without advertisements, and have access to a number of additional services that can boost your productivity.

That being said, extensions are not supported by Chrome, the default browser for Android, the most widely used mobile operating system worldwide.

Currently available for Android, Kiwi Browser is arguably the most feature-rich and adaptable Chromium web browser.

You can run a wide range of desktop Chrome extensions on Android smartphones with the well-known third-party browser.

With a few restrictions because these extensions are still intended for a desktop experience, the Kiwi browser’s developer believes you can use the majority of desktop Chrome extensions.

You’ll then be prompted to open Chrome again.

Currently, the quickest method to delete a specific extension would be to right-click on its icon in the top bar and select "REMOVE FROM CHROME."

The following actions should be taken if you simply need to disable the extension and don’t need to remove it:

  • Choose MORE TOOLS -> EXTENSIONS from the Chrome menu (click the three dots in the upper-right corner).
  • Or use the URL bar to type CHROME://EXTENSIONS.
  • Next, locate the extension you wish to remove, and flip that switch!
  • Turn on the single setting that appears.
