Microsoft Edge on mobile does also not support browser extensions.
Currently, Google Chrome support only Chrome extension on his desktop web browser.
See my technical developer overview of Mobile browser extensions on iOS and Android:

Google will not enable extensions for Chrome on Android, because of adblock extensions. Google's main revenue comes from ads, if extensions are enabled people will install extensions like ad blocker. Users will get fill of ad free browsing on chrome and do not prefer apps as well.
Unfortunately, Google Chrome users on Android don't get the same treatment. This is because Google doesn't provide a way to add Chrome extensions to its mobile browser.
Thank You
