The developer of addon seems to be inactive. Firefox android is doomed for me if it isn't fixed.
Why not use a different search engine?
The search results are bad?
They're unlikely to be (significantly) worse than what you get from Google nowadays.
I understand having a preference but I don't think they're that far apart myself. I use DDG mostly and find everything relatively easily
What exactly is the advantage the addon provides?
Apparently it fixes google. no wonder the dev gave up on it.
But like, why does it have to be Google? (Or this extension specifically?)
If you're super attached to the google search results then try startpage. If you're willing to branch out a bit try Duckduckgo, it's based on Bing instead and lately seems like more folks prefer Bing's engine to Google's.
And as others have mentioned you could use any old useragent switcher to pretend to be Chrome
