Mozilla expands extension support for Firefox for Android
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Dec 2023

According to their github repo, it was last rebased with chromium version 105.0.5195.24, which was from August 2022. Using a 15 month old browser seems hilariously insecure.

I've never tried Kiwi Browser but had similarly come across it while searching. The dev interestingly refers to them ads[1] (2022), though prior to being accepted properly into Bing's referral program Kiwi redirected all search queries through their own servers[2][3] (2021) (the original Kiwi repo's issues tab has been deleted since).
Tbf dev always sounds reasonable in their responses but was a little off-putting initially so I kinda understand the GP's post.

Maybe I should also mention Kiwi Browser (Chromium-based) and Iceraven (Firefox-based) specifically for mobile.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they walked back on that? And I think the source code repo is now : https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next ? Maybe that's just the chromium rebase repo though.

Other things you could try: an older version of Kiwi Browser, or a version of Kiwi from the GitHub.

Mull is best for Android devices. It's been months I've installed it and haven't seen a single ad yet. Just enable uBlock origin addon and you are free from ads.
