Many Android users seek to improve their browsing experience by installing extensions, such as ad blockers or cookie management tools, on Chrome. Unfortunately, Chrome for Android does not support extensions, leaving users to explore alternative browsers.
Several forum users recommend Firefox and Kiwi Browser for Android, as both offer solid extension support. Kiwi, a Chromium-based browser, allows full access to extensions, including developer mode, making it a popular choice for those who want to replicate their desktop browsing experience. Firefox, while supporting fewer extensions, is still a viable option for basic needs like ad blocking and cookie management.
For users looking to sync passwords and browsing history across devices, switching to Firefox is often suggested. You can import your data on a desktop version of Firefox and sync it with your mobile version.
Other options like Brave and Microsoft Edge are mentioned for their built-in ad blockers, providing fast and ad-free browsing without the need for additional extensions. Brave is also a good option for partial tracking blocking.
While there are various solutions, many users express frustration that Chrome for Android lacks extension support, with some speculating that Google may be avoiding it to maintain control over ads.
