Solved Support Extensions
-
@jesus2099 in canary you can enable dev mode, then in the extensions manager at the top the cogwheel to enable dev mode for extensions, then back at settings go to dev setting and use "install extension by id"

Yes yes I know, but as Firefox (now) lets you browse and install extensions the normal way, it was a no-brainer.
And it has a good reputation. -

Same in every browser except Canary it seems.
Can someone explain?
"Canary" is "Chrome Canary", right?
Well, Chrome Canary is the bleedingest bleeding edge of the Chrome/Chromium browser development channels, AFAICT released possibly twice a day, and as I write this, the currently released Canary build is based on code that is 17 hours old (that is, it was added last night, CET; and the next build is likely to be from the 138 version).
That channel is where the Chromium team tests its most recent developments and may enable experimental features that is underdevelopment, but not ready for the Dev or Beta channels, and is expected to crash and burn frequently.
As I think I have mentioned previously somewhere where this question has been discussed, we have seen indications that Chromium is working on something that looks related to Extension support for the Android version for a while now (up to a year, IIRC), and as far as we can tell it is not ready for Beta for a while yet. My guess, it might be in a Beta sometime next year, at the earliest.

I abandoned Vivaldi on year ago and now i'm using Firefox! Very good extensions support and my work is easy to manage also on phone an tablet now. Also MS Edge supports Extensions and is Chromium based. I hope Vivaldi team can change idea about it since it was my favourite browser
-
@carburano As far as I know, Microsoft implemented extensions from square one, and that it was implemented by one of its international development locations (which means a major team was being used, probably dwarfing the whole of Vivaldi's team, including QA and marketing).
We are, however, aware of some activities by the Chromium team that seems to involve implementing Extension support for Android. I don't really expect it to be available in Stable Chrome until at least sometime next year, perhaps later, though (my guess is that they want Mv2 gone completely before they wrap it up).

But I think I can forget about Chrome on Android, because their Manifest V3 is (made for) crippling extensions that can modify pages, like Violentmonkey and Stylus, the only vital extensions for my use.
I keep Firefox, now, it looks less jeopardised by this kinds of crippling attempts.
