Microsoft edge's latest build version 134.0.3124.57, just added a whole new web-store for Android user unlike google. Extensions are great for adding a tiny bit of functionality to a browsing experience without dedicating an entire app to run in the background. For instance, some users like to use VPNs securely tied in from the browser itself rather than running the full-scale app.

I looked up kiwi browser on Play Store...they do not want you to do that. Kiwi is buried down the list below Edge, and they try to sell you Firefox.

Glad Kiwi is still available. The other has said the project is abandoned and there will be no further update. I'm going to keep using it as long as I can and hope something better comes along.
