This is the first I've heard of it. But there is a positive review at BGR and the developer is taking the time to respond to feedback on the Play Store, which is good. https://bgr.com/2018/06/23/android-vs-iphone-features-apps-kiwi-web-browser/
Kiwi Browser’s latest update brings Google Chrome Extensions to Android April 15, 2019 https://www.xda-developers.com/kiwi-browser-google-chrome-extensions-android/
Runs well on my ancient Android Kit-Kat phone, has integrated ad blocking and a fair amount of privacy controls too. I haven't tried the extensions feature yet.
Kiwi Browser goes open source, allowing other Chromium-based browsers to add Extensions April 18, 2020 https://www.xda-developers.com/kiwi-browser-open-source/ Kiwi Browser Source Code on GitHub ||| XDA Forum Thread
Kiwi Browser shows signs of life, teases team-up with fellow Chromium browser in future Kiwi's first release in almost a year is still based on Chrome 77 September 14, 2020 https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...am-up-with-fellow-chromium-browser-in-future/
It hasn't had a new release since last year. I've tried to see what the dev is up to, but haven't found any news.
I switched to Bromite this summer on my old 5.1 tablet and cheap 8.1 phone. It runs great and blocks most ads. Kiwi is still on Chromium 77? I think I'll pass.
Kiwi Browser adds experimental support for Opera desktop extensions October 5, 2020 https://www.xda-developers.com/kiwi-browser-adds-experimental-support-opera-desktop-extensions/ Kiwi Browser - Fast & Quiet (Google Play / APK Mirror)
omg why tf opera? The extension base of opera is terrible small and outdated. So the most of them won't work any longer on any current chromium fork.
Android's Kiwi Browser will follow Chromium releases more closely soon July 28, 2021 https://www.ghacks.net/2021/07/28/a...l-follow-chromium-releases-more-closely-soon/
I recently switched back to the new Kiwi after encountering some bugs in Bromite. After a few minutes of guesswork, I was able to successfully install an extension on Kiwi, in this case one specifically designed for Kiwi Browser. So far it's running smoothly on both phone and tablet. I've added an ad-blocking DNS under the DoH setting to save data usage and improve on the built-in ad blocker. The torrid pace of updates (about every 2 days) is slightly daunting. Edit: here is my list of ad-blocking DOH servers: https://github.com/VernonStow/ad-block-dns
