Google Launches Docs and Sheets Add-ons For Android 12
An anonymous reader writes: Google today announced the launch of new add-ons for the Android versions of Google Docs and Google Sheets. Those services have offered integrations with third-party tools on the web, and now a similar capability is coming to Google's mobile operating system. There's now a dedicated section for add-ons for Docs and Sheets in the Google Play Store, Google Apps product manager Saurabh Gupta wrote in a blog post. Nine add-ons are available for Android as of today: AppSheet, DocuSign, EasyBib, Google Classroom, PandaDoc, ProsperWorks CRM, Scanbot, Teacher Aide, and Zoho CRM.

Generally these services are meant for a work context, but it's possible that developers will build more consumer-oriented add-ons, too.

Google is fine with it on Chrome for Desktop. And unlike Apple, they're happy for you to install any third-party browsers on Android with this functionality, such as Firefox. Heck, you can unlock your Nexus phone and install an module to block ads etc at the system level, or even use APK's Hosts file if you want.
