Yandex Browser for Android is one documented alternative: Yandex says it can install extensions from its own catalog and third-party Chrome or Opera catalogs. That does not mean every extension will work properly on a phone. The listings below describe three useful functions to investigate, not five tested or confirmed Android recommendations.
Can you use Chrome extensions on Android?
Not in the standard Chrome app for Android. Desktop Chrome extensions and Chrome for Android are different: an extension’s presence in the Chrome Web Store does not establish that it can be installed or used on a phone. The UK Competition and Markets Authority’s 2025 report says Chrome does not support extensions on Android mobile devices and notes that extension support across Android browsers is limited.

If you want to try extensions on Android, Yandex Browser is a documented route in the sources available here. Its support page describes installing extensions in Yandex Browser for Mobile from Yandex’s catalog or third-party Chrome and Opera catalogs. Catalog availability is only a starting point: an extension may not install, may lack a usable touch interface, or may not deliver its main feature in the mobile browser.

How to check extensions in Yandex Browser
Yandex’s Android help documentation describes the browser’s extension controls. Labels and availability may change by app version, so use the current browser interface as your guide.

- Choose More extensions to browse available options. Yandex says extensions can come from its catalog and third-party Chrome or Opera catalogs.
- Install only an extension from a publisher you trust. Review the requested permissions and whether the feature you want is available on mobile.
- Return to the Extensions menu to enable or disable an installed extension, inspect its functions, or remove an extension installed from an external source.
Yandex says it disabled some extensions, including SaveFrom.net and Frigate, because of potentially dangerous or fraudulent behavior. That warning is a reason to check an extension’s publisher, permissions, and current status rather than treating catalog presence as a safety guarantee. See Yandex’s extension instructions.
Three extension ideas to investigate
These Chrome Web Store listings describe features that could be useful in a mobile workflow, but they do not verify that the extensions work in the current Android release of Yandex Browser. Check installation and the specific feature you need before relying on one.
Rank #2
- Carrier: This phone is locked to Tracfone, which means this device can only be used on the Tracfone wireless network. Tracfone plan required, activating is easy, just 3 steps.
- DISPLAY: Immersive viewing on a 6.7-inch super-bright 120Hz display with powerful stereo speakers and Bass Boost for cinematic entertainment.

Bitwarden Password Manager: password access
The Bitwarden Chrome Web Store listing describes storing passwords and passkeys, generating unique passwords, and syncing an encrypted vault across devices. Those features could reduce repeated login steps, but the listing does not confirm Android/Yandex compatibility. It also does not establish that the browser extension replaces Bitwarden’s Android app or Android’s native autofill.
Todoist for Chrome: capture a page or selected text
According to the Todoist Chrome Web Store listing, its extension can add websites as tasks, capture selected text as a hyperlinked task, and organize tasks from the browser. That may suit a research or reading workflow, if the capture controls function well on a phone. The listing does not confirm that they do.
Rank #3
- YOUR CONTENT, SUPER SMOOTH: The ultra-clear 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display of Galaxy A17 5G helps bring your content to life, whether you're scrolling through recipes or video chatting with loved ones.¹
- LIVE FAST. CHARGE FASTER: Focus more on the moment and less on your battery percentage with Galaxy A17 5G. Super Fast Charging powers up your battery so you can get back to life sooner.²

- BUILT TO LAST: With an improved IP54 rating, Galaxy A17 5G is even more durable than before.⁴ It’s built to resist splashes and dust and comes with a stronger yet slimmer Gorilla Glass Victus front and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer back.
Dark Reader: adjust a website’s appearance
The Dark Reader listing describes site-specific dark themes and controls for brightness, contrast, sepia, and fonts. This is primarily a reading-comfort option, not a guaranteed productivity improvement. Its listing does not establish compatibility with Yandex Browser on Android.
Ad blocking is a category, not a confirmed fifth pick
Yandex documents the use of compatible third-party ad-blocking extensions in its Android browser. That establishes ad blocking as a possible extension use case, not a specific product recommendation or proof that blocking ads will make every reader more efficient. See Yandex’s guidance on third-party ad blockers. The evidence here does not verify a fifth named extension for this list, so adding one would imply a level of support that has not been established.
Rank #4
- PRIVACY DISPLAY: Automatically hide your screen from those beside you. The built-in privacy display can be preset¹ to turn on when receiving notifications, typing passwords, or using specific apps
- TYPE IT IN. TRANSFORM IT FAST: Enhance any shot in seconds on your smartphone by using Photo Assist² with Galaxy AI.³ Add objects, restore details, or apply new styles by simply typing or tapping

Decide whether an Android extension is worth keeping
Try an extension only if the browser supports it and its core feature works in your actual mobile workflow. A desktop listing can describe what an extension is designed to do, but it cannot tell you whether its controls fit a touchscreen or whether it works in a particular Android browser version.
