A very important project because it is one of the two browsers on Android that support extensions (the other one is Firefox Mobile). I didn't know it was closed source.

It had a GitHub repo (https://github.com/kiwibrowser/android) described as "source code used in Kiwi", but it was just a Chromium codebase thrown there without the actual patches.

Glad to see it's open source now however there is no commit history (thus no individual patches) and it's not possible to see which version of Chromium this was forked from.

Yandex mobile does chrome extensions.

Thanks for letting me know. It is good to be aware of alternatives.

If you trust yandex enough to allow them to possibly gather all your browsing activity, passwords, ... It's like trusting tencent.
