A while ago Mull/Mulch (and DivestOS) died, and now this… I wonder what I’ll use now.
Sounds like Chrome isn’t willing to support extensions on mobile, but Edge is and accepted Arnaud’s Kiwi contributions into their codebase.
It’s just as well, Kiwi Browser wasn’t actively developed beyond its original features, it basically just re-added extension code into the codebase, and each update just fixed git conflicts between that patchset and the latest updates to Chromium’s codebase.
From the article:
Edge’s extension support is buried behind a bunch of manual steps, most of which the article didn’t mention, and installing each extension is arduous. The only mobile browser left that has full extension support is Firefox.
