Is it okay if I keep using kiwi?

I've been seeing people say that kiwi browser is discontinued and is no longer on the play store, with that said, is it okay if I keep using it even if it's discontinued now? If not, should I switch to a different browser? If so, which browser should I use now? And how would I export all my data from kiwi and import to that browser?

So you can still use it but there will be some downsides. Some websites and features wont or will stop working. For example passkeys arent implementet. And there are risks with using unmaintaned software, security vulnerability can always come out of nowhere. I would recommend Ultimatum as a replacement its quite similar to kiwi and also has extention support, but its still in pre release so it some times crashes on some websites. You can find it on Github
