Any recommendations for an MQTT client for a Chromebook (Chrome OS or Android app is fine)?

I ❤️ MQTT Explorer for other platforms, but it has proved beyond my Linux capacity to get running on my Chromebook. I particularly like the message explorer view - crucial for determining whether something has broken, or I have just posted/subscribed to the wrong topic (which I inevitably do).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is for HASS. YAML already has me ready to throw something, possibly my notebook, trying to get the syntax and <swearies go here> spaces just so. I'd really just like to click on the topic like I do in MQTT Explorer.😀

I came _very_ close to having to point and click on:

Favourites > PBTech > Laptops > Add to cart > Checkout 🤣

I have however just now managed to achieve the monumental task of having a light turn off and on when its switch is pressed. Welcome to future!
