Without Manifest V3 support, better to just use Firefox instead. Or, for Firefox extensions that are not specifically marked as Android-compatible, a fork such as Iceraven instead.

In the article:

TL;DR

Here’s a first look at the Desktop Android version of Google Chrome, which supports browser extensions.

Extension support is pretty rudimentary at the moment, but Google is hard at work making it better.

The Desktop Android version of Chrome is intended for Chromebooks and PCs that run Android and not phones or tablets.

The distinction is significant, because there is no support for hardware keyboard and mouse in firefox for android, which makes it difficult to use for Chromebooks and PCs that run Android.
