Why are there still no extensions for Chromium on mobile? - eviltoast

I love Chromium on Android, but not having uBlock origin makes me stick with Firefox (or Mull).

    Outside Chrome, the answer is that the extension support is a very big and fragile (hard to maintain) patch for Chromium.

    Here’s a list of browsers with extensions:

    • Kiwi and Yandex browser support most Chrome extensions
    • Firefox, Mozilla’s Reference Browser and Firefox forks support most Firefox extensions, but you need to make a “collection” if you want more variety than the default list
    • Samsung Internet supports some content blockers as app-based extensions
    • SmartCookieWeb, Berry Browser, Sleipnir support userscripts
    • Many other browsers also have some form of tracker and/or ad blocking
