Using Kiwi because it supports Twitter control panel and old reddit redirect extensions.
Well, kiwibrowser/src isn't updated because kiwibrowser/src.next is the actual up-to-date Kiwi Browser. Kiwi Next is similar to a beta version, and releases for Kiwi Browser are based on Kiwi Next. You can just compile Kiwi Next if you are paranoid. It's the best Android Chromium browser.
The whole search engine debacle was unnecessary, and that basically killed Kiwi's reputation even though it really had zero impact on anyone or anything. I mean, if the default search engine is something you don't prefer, it's just a few goddamn presses to change it to whatever you want.
The dev must read this thread. I just got a Kiwi update via FFUpdater app. π
Well. Thanks for the info. Uninstalling
Edit: I added few add-ons to my collection.but I'm unable to add it to my Android. What could be the issue?
Here's what I did:
edit: added both collection id and the collection name as it appears on the URL. it is working now. Thank you for your help! :)
I'm getting this same error. Added the collection ID and the name where?
It wasn't at ALL clear to me that this entire process takes place in two DIFFERENT Firefoxes: one on a desktop or laptop install and THEN on your android device!! Maybe I read thru the instructions too fast (real men don't read instructions π ) but they all seem to say "...open Firefox..." without being clear WHICH Firefox they're referring to.
I've now spent close to 3 hours trying to get 3 extensions to work/load properly into Fennec on the Android... Back to Kiwi! "It just works..." π‘
Not in 3 hours of trying I couldn't.
I've just spent another 45 minutes trying to install add-ons via Fennec ONLY. It just doesn't work. I only have access to "approved" extensions.
However, when I go to my custom collection in a desktop browser I have full access to firefox addons (as you described we would)--but I have to first search and add them to the collection from the desktop browser.
When that's completed, THEN I can go to Fennec and navigate to the collection and tap the "+" sign to install them into Fennec.

It does seem an odd decision on their part. There must be some factor(s) that made them go that way?
