Would highly recommend against kiwi, not only is it horrendously out of date, as the source code hasn’t been updated in 2 years, but they’ve also done some shady stuff in the past….
If you want desktop addons on mobile, use firefox nightly, fennec, or mull, and follow my guide on adding any desktop addon to the browser.
I believe that’s an outdated Github link. The project moved here with releases here. The search engine stuff has always seemed like a non-issue to me. I run both Fennec and Kiwi but the latter gives me a true black UI and support for fully side-loaded addons (not just those already on the Firefox website).
Definitely lags behind, but much better than 2 years! The Firefox variants unfortunately don’t really handle PWA properly. I was a long-time Firefox/Fennec user but the bugs pushed me toward Kiwi on mobile.
I’ve been trying to follow your guide for an hour now–but I’m not getting access to any add-ons but the “compatible” ones. For example, when I search for ‘Cookiebro’, the only two choices it shows me are Ghostery and uBlock Origin.
I find Kiwi Browser essential. It’s one of the only ones that you can install chrome extensions onto.

Ah. But that’s still 4 months outdated, which is concerning for a browser

Thanks for your desktop addon guide. If there’s a way to manually install .xpis from, say, github, I’m in! 👍
