Introduction

When choosing an Android browser that supports extensions, please note that you may need to take extra steps to complete the installation. Since some browsers like Kiwi Browser or Firefox are not directly available in mainland China's app stores, you may need to obtain them via Google Play. Additionally, to smoothly install and use these browsers' extension features, you typically need to rely on magic internet access. Therefore, before deciding to download and use these browsers, ensure you can access Google Play and have a reliable magic internet access tool. If you are unfamiliar with such technologies, the following content may not be suitable for you.

Kiwi Browser

Kiwi Browser is an Android browser based on Chromium, with the standout feature of supporting third-party extensions (plugins). Users can directly add extensions from the Chrome Web Store to easily customize their browsing experience. This not only makes Kiwi Browser unique on the Android platform but also greatly enhances its practicality and flexibility. In addition, Kiwi Browser offers fast browsing speeds and an intuitive user interface, making it an ideal choice for users seeking more functionality.

Installing Kiwi Browser

Domestic app stores do not provide Kiwi Browser. We need to download and install it via Google Play. Simply search for "Kiwi" in Google Play, or visit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibrowser.browser

Installing Extensions (Plugins)

Since Kiwi is based on the Chromium kernel, we only need to visit the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/ to find and install the extensions we need.

Note: The Chrome Web Store cannot be directly accessed from mainland China networks; you must use a magic internet access tool yourself!!!

Lemur Browser

Lemur Browser is also based on the Chromium kernel, built-in with ChatAI, and supports Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge extension plugins. Developed by a domestic team, it better fits the habits of domestic users, though personally, I feel it has become increasingly bloated with updates.

Installing Lemur Browser

Simply search for "Lemur Browser" in various domestic app stores to download and install.

Installing Extensions (Plugins)

Firefox

Firefox for Android is a powerful mobile browser developed by Mozilla. It focuses particularly on user privacy and security, offering various protection features such as private browsing, ad blocking, and anti-tracking. Firefox for Android supports a wide range of extensions, allowing users to customize their browsing experience, a feature that is relatively rare among mobile browsers. These characteristics make Firefox the preferred choice for users who value privacy protection and seek a highly customizable experience.

Use the Firefox browser to open https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/android/ for installation.

Conclusion

The above introduces three Android browsers that support extensions (plugins): Kiwi Browser, Firefox, and Lemur Browser. These browsers not only provide basic browsing functions but also allow you to extend their functionality by installing various plugins to meet personalized needs. However, it is worth noting that although these extensions are very useful in providing additional functions, not all extensions are fully adapted to the mobile platform.
