Why are there still no extensions for Chromium on mobile? (lemmy.world)

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
