While I respect Kiwi for implementing extension support, they've often fell far behind the upstream Chromium codebase and they're significantly smaller than even Firefox for Android. So I don't think they'd really be a "major" Android browser.

Then again, Firefox could easily be said to not be a major Android browser either!

I don't pay consistent attention, but these are the version numbers I currently see:

Kiwi: 120.0.6099.26

Chrome: 120.0.6099.110

Kiwi has historically faked the version number to prevent websites from telling you to update your browser. I would assume that number is not legitimate.

You're wrong. You can check the latest builds on the GitHub, it's not a secret.

I wouldn't say that far, maybe a month. It gets regular updates.

Historically, it's gotten much further behind, but they've gotten better recently.
