    Damn, I was so happy to get an update yesterday after I thought it had died, only to find out it did.

    Kiwi was (is) my backup browser if something absolutely refuses to work in Fennec/Firefox; what are y’all using as a last resort chrome substitute?

      Cromite is pretty much the only Chromium fork I’d trust on Android.

        Does it allow extensions?

          No. Kiwi was the only one I knew of that allowed them.

      Ungoogled Chromium.for me, pretty convenient as a Flatpak

      EDIT: I missed the memo about Kiwi being an Android-only browser, whoops!

        Is there a chromium release for Android? I thought they only launched a desktop version?

        Small note: Kiwi Browser is Android only.

      Cromite, Brave(with privacy setup), DuckDuckGo browser or even Vivaldi might work out for your use case.

      Cromite is the usual Chromium suggestion and I’d add Fennec or IronFox for Firefox suggestions if you need extension support.

    Even if it dies can you still use it for a little while… It’s so much nicer than Firefox and I need mobile extensions

      Nope, switch as soon as possible to any other secure browser.
