We can extend the browser functionality on a desktop computer by adding some extensions. For instance, you can add a dark mode extension to enable dark mode on Google Chrome; you can add a video downloader to download videos, etc. However, since the ability to add extensions to chrome is missing on Android, we have decided to share some of the best working methods to install Chrome Extension on the Android browser.

The Extension is Not Supported By Yandex

Furthermore, Yandex has its add-on store, similar to the Google Chrome Web Store. On the Yandex add-on store, you can find lots of add-ons and plugins. So, make sure to visit the Yandex store if you are facing an issue with compatibility.
