That surprises me. I assume (maybe wrongly?) Androids use a mobile version of Chrome? If so, I'm shocked there aren't a ton of ad block extensions.
There are extensions for chrome on PC (I run 6: AdBlock plus, Ublock Origin, Ublock extra, Privacy Badger, https everywhere and ghostery), they don't allow extensions for mobile however. There is no option for extensions under settings, your extensions don't show up even when synced and logged in.
That's a shame. With iOS, you just select Safari in your settings and then select what apps (or features of apps) you want to allow.
It is hard to remember back about a decade, but I think it used to be like that, but google play isn't as vetted and all the malicious knockoffs may have ruined it, but my extensions should work based on my synced account, the fact they don't allow that might be a clue there is more to it. Who knows? It is an absolute joke though. I don't care much for apple because it isn't open source, but this is obviously an example where Android isn't open source and worse because it is controlling the market in a manner that is anything but open or free. But it sure sounds apple regardless of a regulated marketplace has android beat in this aspect. Hell I don't think sideload options exist, not when I looked a few years ago.
