I need a secondary android browser that supports extensions. I'm aware that none of these are as secure as Vanadium and Brave and thus will only use it for specific tasks.
Kiwi, due to being Chromium based, seems to work the best while Firefox/Mull sometimes has site breakage. Kiwi also supports native dark mode without the need to install another extension like Dark Reader. Since it's chromium based, I'm assuming it supports better site isolation whereas Firefox-based android browsers still don't support this, correct?
The cons I'm seeing is that its not really open source and created by a developer who I'm not sure if I should trust. It's also not uncommon for it to be late in updating to the newest version of Chromium. Chromium may also soon stop supporting ublock origin, which is one of the extensions I plan to install, though I don't know the time frame for this. I also can't sync bookmarks.
Both Firefox and Mull are open source. I'm guessing that Mull is better than vanilla Firefox since it has some Arkenfox privacy configurations built-in. Both browsers also support syncing bookmarks with other Firefox browsers. Only reason why I'm guessing Firefox might be better than Mull is that i'll definitely be getting the most timely updates, but unlike Kiwi, Mull seems to stay on top of it so this shouldn't be a concern I don't think.
Mull/Firefox though seem to lack proper site isolation, though I'm not sure how important this is? Does it depend on use case? I'd mostly be staying logged in to 1 website, and then use private browsing for everything else, choosing to open external links in private browsing windows.
There is also no dark mode, so I'd need to use Dark Reader (or another app if someone wants to recommend one) which forces me trust another party and slows down page loading.
