Heads up in case someone didn't know.

I use metamask, rabby, liquality - they work as good as desktop.

From when I used it, it's mostly the standard desktop chrome / Chromium they they compiled for android to run as the desktop browser instead of the mobile browser.

So yes many extensions work. However, many sites, crypto related and others have issues, because the think they are running on a full desktop browser and not a 6" screen.
Or they are looking for things that are not there.

I do knot know if they made any other changes since I last tried it.

No performance issues that I felt.

Looks like this browser is open source, which is good news. However, could you tell us more about experience? Are there any performance problem for specific extension? Does all feature (e.g. backup to/restore from file) works?

Metamask file import doesn't work, private key/mnemonic import work fine.

I didn't know the existence of such feature on android, surely I will use it and if possible I will share my experience here.

How about other extensions which is not related to crypto works fine?

I haven't tried and personally don't see the need of using other extensions on mobile.

Really interesting. Will be more pleased if it can help avoid downloading too many Android apps that can be downloaded as extentions and also have those that aren't available atall on Android. And I guess it will be more secure to use Android apps that are available on the Chrome Store.. . I avoided lots of Android Apps because of the kind of information they demand.    Wonder if one can still receive notifications when the browser is closed, that will help alot too.

It would be great if it really worked.  Because I use Android phone. I have to use Laptop to use different extensions. From now on everything can be done by phone. I haven't tried yet but will do so soon.

It can possible if you subscribe it by email.

Ofcourse, will see if that is possible. Hopefully I can run a telegram extension for example and still be able to recieve notifications when the browser is closed. Will probably have time to go through the browser after Friday to see if that is possible. Hope to discover more very useful features.
I may send some "merit" after testing,

I've used this browser before but I'm not used to it and I find it a bit delay whenever I navigate the game that I've been playing before on a browser.

It works that's why OP suggesting it.
