Yes, exactly the same. The apt commands are pretty much the same as in debian (though maybe missing some of the newer options), so you should be able to find plenty of documentation online if you want to know more.

You may need to reboot - the browser runs both as a backend daemon process, and as the front-end GUI (which makes it faster to start up), so you may need to reboot (or manually kill off all the browser processes) to get rid of add-ons.
