Safari had plugins from day one. As far as I know. Here is an early plug in from 2010 ( https://www.cultofmac.com/47232/macheist-tweaks-gruber-with-...)

But speaking of “closed”, where is the ad blocking extension for Chrome on Android and embedded web views?

It's nowhere, which is the point. I bet if they were to add manifest V3 (the thing people are upset about) to chrome for Android, it would be received much more positively than this.

This is what I meant. The content blocking framework that works with both Safari on iOS and the newer web view has been around for four years.
