Of the chromium-based mobile browsers, extensions support Edge (Edge Canary supports installation of any extensions), Yandex Browser, Kiwi, Lemur.

So in principle it is possible, but unfortunately neither Vivaldi nor Brave nor Opera have added such functionality. It's especially bad since the first two use Lingvanex as a built-in translator, which is worse than even Google Translate version 10 years ago... That's why I gave up both Brave and Vivaldi a long time ago.
Microsoft confirmed Edge won't keep MV2 around, so that's probably valid for their Android counterpart as well. The rest I'd advise you to stay away. Yandex is literally russian spyware, Kiwi isn't updated as frequently as it should. First time hearing for Lemur, but seeing right now, it's Chinese so I'd also stay away from it.

Try Samsung Internet Browser; it's based on Chromium and supports ad blocking extensions.

The answer to that is simple. Chrome is the market leader by a large margin. If the extension author depends on donations to continue development then you may be sure it will stop being developed pretty soon. Even open source projects may be abandoned if there's "nobody" out there that use it.
