Bromite: A Privacy-Enhanced Chromium Fork for Android

Bromite needs extension support and it becomes the perfect browser for Android. Unfortunately the maintainer does not want that on his plate, and is willing to pull extension support so long as someone else maintains that part of the project. Understandable of course.

Kiwi Browser is open source and does have extension support, so the heavy lifting is done. It would be nice if someone picked this problem up and maintained it.

Ungoogled Chromium for Android has builds with extension support included.

I'm writing this comment from it right now and extensions work like a charm. All I had to do was add an F-Droid repo, install Chromium and enable a flag in chrome://flags to install extensions from the Web Store.

I use uBlock Origin and Tampermonkey.

The only issue is that I have to enter chrome://extensions manually in order to manage extensions as there is no UI for them.

Try Yandex Browser [0]. I've tried practically every browser going for Android and it's the only one that supports both Extensions AND Text Reflow [which I think is indispensable when browsing the web on a small screen]

As an added bonus, there's also a desktop version available. So you can get all that nice syncing going on too. Just like with Chrome and Firefox.
