For Lean Library, our goal is to create an inclusive experience, enabling our tools on as many browsers as possible. We are proud to support Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari on the desktop.
On mobile devices, this support is more limited, as the default browser on Android (e.g. Google Chrome in many cases) does not offer extension support at this time. We hope that this will change and are actively investigating alternatives.
For the time being, the Google Play Store offers several alternative browsers, which provide support for extensions. While we list them here, please understand that our testing and development effort currently does not extend to these browsers and the fact that we mention two options here, does not constitute an endorsement.
