Best Chrome Extensions for Android
Extensions are optimized to work on desktop, so you can find a lot of Chrome extensions that are completely broken. Also, few extensions like LastPass, Bitmoji, Google Keep, Pocket, etc. have dedicated Android apps, and installing Chrome extension doesn’t add any value. So after using a plethora of extensions, here’s the list of Chrome extensions that work great on Android.
1. Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans
If you are in incognito mode or using a VPN, Google sometimes throws captchas for you to solve which are boring and inconvenient, to say the least. That’s where the Buster comes in to play. Once you install Buster Chrome extension phone, you can complete the entire captcha with a single tap. The extension uses Google’s own API and voice accessibility features to complete the captcha for you. The best part is that it works on Kiwi browser in Android just like on the desktop.

3. Ginger
Ginger is a grammar correcting tool. You might have heard about Grammarly, but unfortunately, Grammarly does not work on Android phones.

6. Evernote Web Clipper
Evernote users will find its web clipper extension on Android handy while adding content found while browsing to their Evernote notebook. Though Evernote has an Android app, it does not provide the same functionality of grabbing text from the web. This extension is also useful for taking screenshots of websites and add annotations to it, but the experience is buggy. Tools cover most part of the screen without leaving space to annotate and edit. Download Evernote Web Clipper
7. GoFullPage
Speaking about screenshots, you can try out GoFullPage to take a screenshot of the entire webpage. The functionality of the extension is quite limited, you open the three-dot menu and click on the extension icon to take the screenshot of the entire webpage. You don’t have the option to grab only the part of the webpage or add any annotations or editing to it. But that limited functionality makes the extension even use on the mobile without getting cluttered with tools. Download GoFullPage
8. Hover Zoom+
This extension helps zoom into images on the web just by hovering your mouse on it. On Android, you just tap on the image to open it and zoom. As photos on the phones are normally much smaller than you see on the web, it’s hard to view it unless you zoom in. Or, you can use this extension and tap on the image to open it in full-screen. Download Hover Zoom+
9. Noisli
Noisli Chrome extension is for those who like listening to white noise sounds while working. You can easily access the settings and change sounds, timer and also combine multiple sounds and save them, add to playlists, etc. Download Noisli
