There are only a few browsers that support full-fledged extensions on an Android smartphone or tablet. Kiwi browser is the name that I fondly remember supporting such a feature in the past, but soon, it will be joined by Firefox for Android. Firefox has published new information for extension developers about the add-ons making a comeback on Android App.

Being among the best browsers around the globe, the change will surely make other competitors think about the same feature. Mozilla is known for its core functionality and true personalization experience, and the browser extension support is like the icing on the cake. The new change will surely reciprocate Mozilla’s success on big-screen devices to small mobile devices.

The Firefox extensions aka add-ons were widely available on Android prior to Fenix redesign in 2020. Since then, the extensions from Android have disappeared. The recent announcement of extensions comeback on Android has put developers on cloud nine.

The support for Extensions on Android is coming in September on at least Beta builds, and the public builds might receive it by the end of this year. Unlike previous times, the Mozilla Extensions’ journey to the Android ecosystem will be bundled will relevant guides, resources, and discussion boards for a better and more stable experience for the users.

Will Chrome for Android ever get Extension support?

Till now, there is no official or unofficial talk about Chrome for Android’s Extension support. There are alternate supporting extensions on mobile devices and are based on Chromium code. But, things are missing on Google Chrome for Android. We hope with Mozilla lending support for extensions on small-display devices, Chrome developers get some hint out of it.
