Is it possible to activate extensions for chromium android?

[Selim Kütük]

Hello, is it possible to activate the extension part in the chromium version that I will compile for a project I will develop soon? I know that the official version of Chrome has this feature turned off, but this feature is active in some chromium-based mobile browsers, thanks in advance for your help.

The first step would be to change the enable_extensions setting in extensions/buildflags/buildflags.gni. After tha, you can find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.

This has been disabled on Android since the beginning of the Android port and we only ever did enough work in this area to get the Android port to build cleanly (i.e. just disabling a bunch of stuff).

None of the UI required for extensions is implemented for Android, so even if you can get it to build with this enabled, most extensions won't really work - there is no code to show browser/page actions on Android, for example. The parts that are WebUI (like chrome://extensions) *might* work without significant changes if you include them in the build, but this isn't something we've tested. You are likely looking at a very significant amount of work here.

I just want some javascript code that I write to be injected correctly. Is there any other method besides extension? Thank you.

I have the same dilemma, how can I insert javascript in a page?

Where should I start if the extensions are not enabled?

[Egor Pasko]

One way to start is inspecting a page on a device connected over adb via `about:inspect` and injecting JS via the DevTools interface.

Just in case if someone gets here with the same question - here my attempt, its still under development, consider it as working draft (but some extensions are alredy working) https://github.com/gonzazoid/chromium/tree/134.0.6964.1_android

To build it use usual android config with

enable_desktop_android_extensions = true

enable_guest_view = true

update to 134.0.6998.53 and fully working tabs api are coming soon.

Now there is enable_extensions_core. Maybe finally?
