Could be related with my issue #1220.
I just tried with Android and it works.
I'll download Kiwi browser tomorrow to see if I can reproduce.
Which version of kiwi are you using ?

Wtf, I didnt know Kiwi browser was an Android browser. I was thinking you were speaking about desktop.

However I tried anyway to download Kiwi with floccus extension and, you're right, the button doesnt work. Exactly the same behavior as in the iOS app.

My advice:
you could try creating an account on desktop with another browser,
then on Floccus settings you click on exporting the account
and then, when you come back in Kiwi browser, instead of "Login with Google", you click on Importing an account, and you import the account you exported earlier.

tell me if it works.

However I'm surprised: why do you want to use Floccus with Kiwi browser, instead of using Floccus app from the "Play Store" or better from "F-Droid", that works flawlessly ?
(Thats a true question, I think I saw in this github a lot of people speaking about kiwi browser, Is it because you all are rooted or can't use F-Droid, or something else ?)

Ok so I discovered that your problem is already known and was already reported here.

It seems the problem comes from Kiwi browser and the dev is already aware and trying to fix that.

However would you accept to answer me ?
Why is it so useful to use Kiwi with floccus extension instead of Floccus app ?

It also seems that the solution I described to you above works:
https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/921#issuecomment-1139283098

workaround on Kiwi

the workaround is to login into floccus on a desktop browser (using gdrive option), then export the floccus config, copy the config file to phone, then import the config in floccus. I've tried some month ago and it was working.
