src.next VS violentmonkey

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.

Download the latest version of Kiwi Browser from it's original source like github Kiwi Browser GitHub Releases (Choose the 2nd one tagged ARM/64 if you're using it from Playstore rn, choose the first ARM/64 if you're using GitHub apks rn) OR Kiwi Browser July 21 UpToDown

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.

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. You can see here that it's only had one commit in the last 6 months

I recognize that I may be contributing to your "addons have so much power" argument, but I wanted to draw your attention to ViolentMonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> which is stellar for these site-specific customizations (known as User Scripts, of which Greasemonkey was the most famous)

Since Tampermonkey seems to be misbehaving, consider using Violentmonkey.

I have no damn idea why Tampermonkey, which as very best I can tell is closed source <https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/blob/master/REA...>, is on the "blessed" Firefox for Android list when Violentmonkey <https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey#readme> is MIT, although I readily admit doesn't it have a "politically correct" name

Step 1Install violentmonkey (or your favorite user script manager)

(And yes, after that I personally pivoted to Violentmonkey. Overall it's good to have a choice :)

Sounds like a good violent monkey [0] script for you do this weekend. :)

I personally use TamperMonkey to run user-scripts and can vouch for its usefulness. Violentmonkey seems to be a popular alternative.

Toolbox is great, but if that is all you really need, here's this! You can copy and paste this as a new script to use in ViolentMonkey [AMO] or whatever script manager you use.
