Does mobile Google Chrome support browser extensions?

Can I create a plug-in or extension for Google Chrome MOBILE (Android Google Chrome)?

If not, can I create an extension for Google Chrome (desktop) that will add a button to the Google Chrome panel. This button opens the page in another web browser (in my own web browser), so this button should launch my own web browser.

Extensions are not supported, see https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq .

In particular:

Does Chrome for Android support embedded WebView for a hybrid native / web application?

Chrome web browser is included in Android 4.4 (KitKat) and later. See WebView Overview for more information .

Does Chrome for Android support apps and extensions?

Chrome apps and extensions are not currently supported on Chrome for Android. Currently we do not plan to announce.

Can I write and deploy web applications in Chrome for Android?

Although Chrome apps are not currently supported, we'd love to see great interactive websites available at the URL.

Kitt runs on the iPhone and supports a subset of the Chrome extension APIs. It is currently in private beta, but you can register online to gain access.

You can use bookmarklets (the javascript code in the bookmark) - this also means that they are synchronized between devices.

I have loads - I have a prefix name with zzz, so they are eazy to type in the address bar and show in the drop-down forecasts.

To make them work on the page, you need to go to the page, and then enter the name of the bookmarklet in the address bar - this will lead to the bookmarklet being executed in the context of the page.

change

Just to highlight - to do this, enter the name of the bookmarklet in the address bar while the page you want to work on is displayed - if you leave to select the bookmarklet in some other way, the page context is lost and the bookmarklet works on a new blank page.

I use zzzpocket - send to pocket. zzztwitter tweet this page zzzmail email this page zzzpressthis send this page to wordpress zzztrello send this page to trello and much more ...

and it works in chrome on any platform that I am currently registered with.

I assume that there are not many browsers that support the extension. Indeed, I was interested in this question over the past year, and I found Dolphin add-on support and other interesting features announced a few days ago. I want to check it out soon.

Some extensions, such as blockite, use the Accessibility Services API to deploy feature-like extensions in Chrome on Android. It may be worth a look through the game store. Otherwise, Firefox is your best bet, although many extensions for some reason do not work on mobile devices.

Just use a different browser. Follow the steps below to install Chrome extensions on your Android device.

Step 1: Open the Google Play Store and download the Yandex Browser. Install the browser on your phone.

Step 2. In the URL field of your new browser, open "chrome.google.com/webstore" by entering it in the URL.

Step 3. Find the desired Chrome extension and click "Add to Chrome."

The added Chrome extension will now be automatically added to the Yandex browser.
