    Supports extensions, therefore it supports uBlock Origin. I don't surf the Web without it.

AFAIK the only android browser with full chrome extension support and developer tools. I have been using it as my primary android browser for like 5 years and I am happy.

It's fast and customizable, but I don't think it's lightweight, The latest version has a size of 200MB+, with a standalone webview included.

A browser that doesn't want to reinvent the wheel, but gives the user a proper desktop experience. Allows extensions from the google store, built in customiseable dark mode. Had no problems so far.

I'm using kiwi browser for many years. I tried other browsers like bromite, firefox. My opinion it is the best mobile browser. Pros: +Faster than firefox and other browsers. I tested myself. +Supports desktop chrome extensions. Non of other browswrs support. +You can change browser as you want. You can switch off the grid layout tabs, tab grouping. You can change adress bar location etc. +Most of websites desinged from chromium based browsers. So websites look as they should be. +Open source.

Cons: -As I read it has some privacy issues. You can find on google. -Maybe it uses more battery than firefox but it is very fast. So i think this is not a big handicap.
