Not universally. Android browser apps decide whether they support extensions, and each extension must also be compatible with that browser’s Android version. A desktop listing alone does not guarantee that an extension will run on your phone or tablet.

How to check whether an extension works on Android

Check three things before changing browsers or attempting an install:

  • Browser support: Does the exact Android browser provide an extension manager or add-on catalog?
  • Extension compatibility: Is the extension listed for Android and that browser—not just for its desktop edition?
  • Mobile feature parity: Does the Android version offer the particular functions you need? A compatible mobile add-on may not behave exactly like its desktop counterpart.

Use the browser’s own catalog or official installation route, and review the permissions requested. Catalogs and extension versions can change, so confirm the listing for your current browser version.

Which Android browsers support extensions?

Browser What the official information establishes What to do
Firefox for Android Firefox for Android has an Add-ons manager and an Android add-on catalog. Mozilla cautions that some add-ons are not compatible with Firefox for Android. Search the Android catalog or the in-app manager for the exact add-on.
Samsung Internet Samsung Internet has a mobile extension flow through Galaxy Store. Samsung warns that some desktop extensions may not work correctly on mobile. Look in Samsung Internet’s Add-ons menu and check the Galaxy Store listing.
Google Chrome for Android Google’s help page describes installing extensions on desktop and a phone flow labeled “Add to Desktop.” It does not document general extension installation in Chrome for Android. Do not treat “Add to Desktop” as adding an extension to Chrome on your phone.
Microsoft Edge for Android Microsoft identifies mobile features including built-in Adblock Plus and Coupons. That does not establish general support for arbitrary desktop extensions. Check whether the specific capability is built into mobile Edge; do not assume a desktop extension can be installed.

Firefox for Android: use its Android add-on catalog

Mozilla directs users to browse add-ons at addons.mozilla.org/android or through Firefox for Android’s Add-ons manager. In the app, open the menu, select Add-ons, choose an extension, inspect its requested access, and tap Add. Mozilla notes that some add-ons may not be compatible with Firefox for Android; compatible versions update when available.

Samsung Internet: install from its mobile catalog

Samsung describes installing extensions through Galaxy Store. In Samsung Browser, open Tools, select Add-ons, tap Get more add-ons, then choose an extension in Galaxy Store and install it. The catalog route is not a promise that every desktop extension is available or fully functional on Android.

Samsung’s developer guide explains that mobile devices differ in screen size, user experience, resources, and security policies, and says desktop extensions may not work correctly on mobile. It also describes mobile-focused extension development and Samsung validation of third-party extension apps. See Samsung Internet Extensions and Samsung’s installation instructions.

Chrome for Android: “Add to Desktop” means desktop

Google’s extension instructions explain Chrome Web Store installation on desktop. The phone instructions use the label “Add to Desktop”: they describe using a phone to initiate an installation for desktop Chrome, not installing the extension in Chrome for Android. The page does not document general native extension installation or execution in the Android app.

Edge for Android: distinguish built-in features from extensions

Microsoft’s mobile Edge FAQ identifies built-in mobile features such as Adblock Plus and Coupons. Those named features are not evidence that arbitrary desktop extensions can be installed in Edge for Android. The FAQ also says Edge Legacy extensions are not currently compatible with the new Edge.

What desktop extension availability does—and does not—tell you

A desktop extension listing shows that the extension is offered for a desktop browser environment; by itself, it does not establish Android support. The browser, its mobile catalog, and the extension’s Android compatibility all matter. For Samsung Internet in particular, even desktop extensions that can be supported may not work correctly on mobile. Confirm the exact extension’s listing and available functions before relying on it.
