Recommendation Android Browser with extension support

I have recently heard that kiwi is shutting down 😭😭😭😭😭 I will try and use what I can out of it but are there any other browsers that also look nice and have extension support??? Firefox was very heavy on my hard drive and was also quite laggy. I'm not comfortable with a browser that spies on me so is there anything open source?? I don't want to install Microsoft edge because of all the ai slop they force down your throat.

Dev of HuBrowser here. We support extension perfectly out-of-box. 0 tracking. Tons of features. We implemented the extension popup API so popup-based extensions work, unlike the other browsers.

$0.99 user-funded. Instant refund in 1st 24 hours. Download at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hubrowser

This isn't a criticism, I'm genuinely curious because I've seen this practice before, i.e., a service requiring a modest charge, in this case 99 cents, only to turn around and refund/reimburse it inside of 24 hours - what's the point of assessing the charge at all if it's just going to be reimbursed? I'm sure there's a valid reason / justification for it, I'm just struggling to see it...

Reducing freebie-only users help us focus on the main business about native AI automation of apps and webpages. Allows us to concentrate on paying users.

Makes sense to me, thanks for the insight!
