Do there exist any good FOSS Chrome based browsers for Android? (sh.itjust.works)

Firefox with its forks went sluggish recently and I want to try something new. The only Chrome based browser worth mentioning I know is Brave, but it is bloated as hell. I heard of Vanadium, but found no prebuilt binaries.

On Android, the only ones I would use is Fennec (F-Droid build of Firefox), or IronFox (privacy focused fork of Firefox), almost purely because they are the only ones that can use extensions (none of the Chromium ones can do that I think!)

Brave is awful, has weird crypto NFT shenanigans going on, I would not recommended. Vivaldi is closed-source and, honestly, isn't very special (especially the Android version). The best Chromium offering is probably Cromite, which is a privacy-focused one that has an ad-blocker, but still, no extensions which kind of sucks.

I am moving to Piefed at scallisto@retrofed.com (https://retrofed.com/u/scallisto)
