Lemur Browser is a mobile browser that lets you use Chrome and Edge extensions on your Android phone. For example, if you normally use an ad blocker or Tampermonkey on your computer, you can install them here too. This is probably the main reason to try Lemur, especially if you feel that regular mobile browsers don’t offer enough options.
Besides extensions, Lemur also has a desktop-style interface with a bookmarks bar and tab groups. You can open extensions in a sidebar, so you don’t need to leave the page you’re reading. It also supports importing CRX files from your phone. Of course, some extensions may not work properly, but having this option is still useful. There are a few other features for everyday use as well.
Key features:
- Chrome and Edge Extensions: Install supported extensions from both stores.
- Tab Groups: Keep your tabs organized instead of having too many pages mixed together.
- Extension Sidebar: Use extensions while keeping your current webpage open.
- CRX File Support: Import extension files directly from your device.
- Built-in Video Player: Watch videos without opening another player app.
- Dark Mode: Switch to a dark interface when using the browser at night.
- Privacy Mode: Browse without saving your regular browsing history.
- Multiple Search Engines: Choose Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, and others.
- QR Code Scanner: Scan QR codes or create one to share a webpage.
Lemur Browser has more settings than a basic browser, so it may take a little time to get used to everything. But if you want to use browser extensions on your phone, it’s a useful alternative to consider.
