Briefly

Chrome still doesn't have extensions on Android, so I found a browser that does
"Kiwi proved it was possible years ago. It ran on the same engine as Chrome and supported full extensions on Android. Back then, I tested it with uBlock Origin, and it worked, which made me assume Chrome would follow, but it never did. Kiwi shut down eventually, and I thought that was probably the end of it. Then Microsoft added extension support to its Edge browser."
"The more I thought about it, the harder it was to ignore how much of Google's business revolves around ads. Extension support on mobile would almost certainly mean ad blockers on mobile, too. Two browsers built on the same base as Chrome had already figured it out, while the Chrome browser still hadn't."
Chrome came pre-installed on the user's first Android phone and remained the default browser through inertia rather than active choice. While other browsers like Firefox, Edge, and Kiwi appeared over time, the user consistently returned to Chrome. As mobile work increased, the absence of essential extensions like ad blockers and password managers became frustrating. Kiwi Browser demonstrated years ago that the Chromium engine could support full extensions on Android, yet Chrome never implemented this feature. Microsoft's Edge subsequently added extension support, further highlighting Chrome's limitation. The user recognized that Google's advertising-dependent business model likely explains the deliberate omission of mobile extension support, particularly ad blockers, rather than technical impossibility.
