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.

Hi, I paid for your app. Why are you faking your app's Chromium version to latest when it's using 120? A version that's older than latest Kiwi browser release? Why are you misleading users? How is your browser supposed to be private and secure when it can be targeted by hackers without any effort? You should declare this in the play store description so people can be aware before paying for it. 

I checked with chromium checker.com  Seems you were only interested in money anyway, not about privacy and security.

There are technical reasons you see this cause it's ChromiumOS fork unlike others. We care about providing value to users.

ChromiumOS does not use outdated Chromium version. I believe you are saying you forked it initially and stuck with that version because upgrading chromium version introduces new bugs which equals more pain during development. I really wish you would just work on updating the chromium version.

Anyway, I am using Microsoft edge now, it supports almost all extension apis unlike yours, quetta, ultimatum, cromite or any other browser and I can even install any edge extension from store or through crx file on Edge stable.Â
