6/23/2023 0 Comments Chromium based browsers android![]() ![]() Unless Google has a major change of heart, Google Chrome for Android will not necessarily be gaining support for extensions any time soon. ![]() If successful, other Android browsers based on Chromium - such as Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, and of course Google Chrome - would theoretically be able to begin to support extensions.Īs an important side note, these browsers would have the option to support extensions on Android. Last month, Kiwi Browser became an open-source project, allowing other developers see and use the necessary code to get extensions working.Īs noted on Twitter by Dinsan Francis of Chrome Story, an effort has begun to bring a significant portion of the work to support extensions on Android back “upstream” to Chromium. Last year, Kiwi Browser launched support for full Chrome extensions and was the first Chromium-based browser on Android to do so, followed by Yandex Browser. The developer responsible for Kiwi Browser is working with Google and Samsung to bring Kiwi’s extensions support “upstream” to Chromium for other Chromium-based browsers to use freely. Right now, the only way to use Chrome extensions on Android is to use an alternative browser like Kiwi Browser, which is based on the same Chromium browser engine.
