This is probably quite a bit of work. I can think of a bunch of things that would need changes:

• Android app bridge. Running the Node.js bridge on Android inside of an wrapper app is probably possible (though not ideal), but would need a separate discovery implementation using NSD. Since native messaging isn't supported, it would need to use the WebSocket connection exclusively.
• The popup wouldn't work properly (if at all) and there are issues using the regular WebExtension popup since it's opened in response to a function call in the page script context and opening the popup programmatically requires a user action.
• Extension UI isn't responsive.
• Unsupported WebExtension APIs.
• Persistent background scripts aren't supported.

I don't use Android personally, so this isn't something I'm likely to work on any time soon (if ever), but I'd be happy to support anyone who's interested in working on this.
