Chrome for Android does not install Chrome extensions. To use add-ons on an Android phone or tablet, you need a different browser that supports them: Android Authority’s December 2025 guide describes Chrome Web Store installation routes in Yandex Browser and Quetta Browser, while Firefox for Android has its own add-on catalog. None of these alternatives guarantees that every desktop extension will work.
Can you use Chrome extensions in Chrome on Android?
No. The standard Chrome browser for Android does not support installing Chrome extensions. Using a different browser is the alternative; it does not add extensions to Chrome itself.

The available installation details for Yandex, Quetta and Edge Canary come from Android Authority’s December 2025 guide, which is secondary reporting. They do not establish that every extension works across browsers, devices or Android versions.
Which Android browsers offer extension options?
Yandex Browser
Android Authority describes opening Yandex Browser’s Extensions catalog, choosing an extension listing that leads to the Chrome Web Store, and following the store’s installation flow. The guide also describes opening a store listing directly in the browser. The exact extension must be available and compatible with Yandex Browser; a Chrome Web Store listing alone is not proof that it will work.

Quetta Browser
The guide describes using Quetta’s Extensions menu or opening a Chrome Web Store listing directly, then confirming the installation in the browser. As with Yandex, support is not universal, so check the specific add-on rather than assuming desktop Chrome behavior carries over.
Firefox for Android
Firefox for Android uses Mozilla’s own add-on catalog, not the Chrome Web Store. Find the add-on in Mozilla’s Firefox for Android add-ons catalog and select one listed for Firefox Android. A Chrome extension is not automatically compatible just because a similar add-on exists for Firefox.

Microsoft Edge Canary
Android Authority also describes an advanced route involving developer options and an extension ID or CRX file. The guide cautions that this method is less straightforward and did not always work in its testing. Treat it as an uncertain workaround, not a dependable way to install arbitrary extensions.
Kiwi Browser
Older guides may recommend Kiwi Browser, but Android Authority’s December 2025 guide reports that it shut down in 2025. Check whether a browser is still available and maintained before following older installation instructions.

How to choose a browser and extension
- Check availability: Confirm the exact extension appears in the browser’s supported store or catalog.
- Check compatibility: A store listing or installation prompt does not prove that every feature works on your browser, device or Android version.
- Consider the installation route: Yandex and Quetta have reported Chrome Web Store flows; Firefox uses Mozilla’s catalog; the Edge Canary method involves developer options and is less certain.
- Test phone usability: Extension controls designed for a desktop may be awkward on a touch screen. Check whether its controls and workflow are practical on your phone or tablet.
- Check maintenance: Verify that the browser remains available and supported before relying on it. Kiwi is an example of why older recommendations can go stale.
What to expect from extension support
Do not assume that installing an extension in an alternative browser will reproduce desktop Chrome. The available guidance does not establish a comprehensive compatibility list for Yandex or Quetta, or universal support across browsers and Android versions. Mozilla’s catalog is the relevant source for add-ons offered for Firefox Android; it is not a bridge to Chrome extensions.
