How to Install Chrome Extensions on Mobile [Android & iOS] - Alvaro Trigo's Blog
July 29, 2024 - Chrome Extensions are handy and great features to have on your iOS devices (iPad and iPhones) but sadly, you can’t have them directly. Apple doesn’t allow it and Google can’t or is yet to make it happen.

Instead, there are some workarounds you can use to get browser extensions working on your iPad (listed in the article above), with the same strategies working on your iPhone.

Can you use extensions on a tablet?
Yes, you can use some browser extensions on a tablet, however, it depends on the browser you’re using and your operating system.

Microsoft Edge on Android also supports extensions available from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. Additionally, Safari on iPads running iOS 15 or later supports Safari extensions, which can be downloaded and managed via the App Store. However, you can’t install Chrome extensions on an iPad.

I'm sorry but I don't think there is a way to create plugins for the chrome iOS application.

Because...

  • The user has no way to organize these plugins in the application.
  • The mobile app is very different from the full computer application, smaller, and doesn't need to have the capabilities of the full computer application.
  • There isn't a way to adjust the browser settings.
  • You can't download certain file types from a mobile browser.
  • I think downloading these plugins to the device would be against apples policies, because there not approved by apple
  • If it would ever work, google would have to offer them all in one application or have in app purchases
  • Unless you jail-brake and download the full version chrome you won't be able to receive plugins on your iOS device
  • A developer outside of Google can't communicate with Googles apps

There are free web browser tutorials out there, instead of creating a plugin for the mobile application, why not just create your own browser. This would allow you to make some awesome "plugin-type" tools.

Creating a mobile-browser application tutorials:

  • internet browser with a search bar video @youtube.com/.....

If you are looking for an official source, then it seems that it is not clear whether extensions are available on chrome for iOS. What is official is that they are not for Chrome on android and are not even planned:

Does Chrome for Android support apps and extensions?

Chrome apps and extensions are currently not supported on Chrome for Android. We have no plans to announce at this time.

(source)

I think that this strongly suggests that they are not available and not planned for iOS, too.

More in general, I think that having any kind of plug-ins, i.e., code that can be downloaded and run locally, goes against the Apple Developers Agreement.
