What happened to Kiwi Browser?
Kiwi Browser's GitHub page says the project is archived and will no longer be maintained after January 2025. The developer says Kiwi's extension code was integrated into Microsoft Edge Canary, the development version of Edge, and recommends Edge Canary, Vivaldi or Firefox instead. The kiwibrowser.com address now forwards to that GitHub page.
Top Kiwi Browser alternatives compared
Microsoft Edge
Edge is Microsoft's free Chromium browser and the one that inherited Kiwi's extension code, first in the Edge Canary test build. Microsoft's Play Store listing says you can add extensions for shopping, ad blocking and blocking distractions, and it ships with tracking prevention and AdBlock Plus built in. It suits Kiwi users who want the developer's own recommendation.
Firefox
Firefox is Mozilla's free, open source browser, and it is not built on Chromium. Mozilla's Android page says you can add extensions that block ads, protect your privacy and do more. It suits people who want extensions on Android without a Chromium browser.
Vivaldi
Vivaldi's 8.2 update, announced on 10 September 2026, brought extensions to Vivaldi on Android: a puzzle-piece button in the address bar opens the Chrome Web Store. Vivaldi notes that not all desktop extensions work on mobile and that extensions do not sync, so you install them on each device. It suits Kiwi users who want Chrome Web Store extensions in an established browser.
Lemur Browser
Lemur Browser is a Chromium browser for Android built around extensions. Its Play Store listing says it installs from both the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons, offers a desktop-style layout with a bookmarks bar, and can run extensions in a sidebar next to the page. It suits people who used Kiwi to run many desktop extensions on a phone.
