I’ve just been looking for a replacement for Firefox Beta.

    Using Kiwi because it supports Twitter control panel and old reddit redirect extensions.

        Well, kiwibrowser/src isn’t updated because kiwibrowser/src.next is the actual up-to-date Kiwi Browser. Kiwi Next is similar to a beta version, and releases for Kiwi Browser are based on Kiwi Next. You can just compile Kiwi Next if you are paranoid. It’s the best Android Chromium browser.

        The whole search engine debacle was unnecessary, and that basically killed Kiwi’s reputation even though it really had zero impact on anyone or anything. I mean, if the default search engine is something you don’t prefer, it’s just a few goddamn presses to change it to whatever you want.

            Here’s what I did:

            • created a new collection and added few addons
            • copied the collection id from the URL
            • opened Firefox nightly and enabled custom collection menu
            • input the collection id
            • Firefox quits
            • when I open Firefox and click on Add-ons, there were no add-ons and there was an error that “Failed to query Add-ons”

            edit: added both collection id and the collection name as it appears on the URL. it is working now. Thank you for your help! :)

              I’m getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?

                  It wasn’t at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don’t read instructions 😉 ) but they all seem to say “…open Firefox…” without being clear WHICH Firefox they’re referring to.

                  I’ve now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android… Back to Kiwi! “It just works…” 😡

    You’re probably gonna have to tell us what it is that you want and what it is that you don’t like about Firefox Beta.

    Don’t forget that the browser has access to all of the data that you see on your display and everything you type in. All of it. So he careful who you trust. Is it a community software, is it non-profit, is it for profit, does it have a sustainable funding / business model.

    I think brave is pretty alright. Yes the crypto stuff is hella cringe and its chromium based but it works like charm.

    It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.

    Even though I’m quite eager to try new softwares, for browser I usually return back to Firefox or brave browser.

    Only recently when I tried Vivaldi browser, I don’t feel the urge to return to Firefox/brave.

          Dark Mode for websites is a wonderful feature! I have a Note20U so the note access is awesome. The font seems to also render better than Firefox.

          However, there are sites I can not stop ads on when using SI. Also no way to filter elements out. These are cases when I usually prefer Firefox.
