I don't think anyone knows, ffupdater reports 'it is no longer maintained'. Csagan5 was awesome, they didn't get into politics, they just made the best Chromium browser for Android. I hope they are OK. I hope they come back.
One of the contributors is keeping the project alive here but it is not exactly the same.
For a Firefox fork (my main browser), there is the excellent Mull from DivestOS
Yeah I switched to fennec for now - mull's too hardened for how I want my browser to behave. Someone did point out mulch, from the divestOS project, to me recently in case anyone is looking for a FOSS chromium fork that's still maintained. I installed it through FDroid on stock android rom with no issues
She's dead, sis. Try Mulch if you specifically want a chromium-based browser. I use it as a backup for sites which don't work correctly under Firefox. You can add the divestos repo to your Fdroid client for auto updates.

Mull is quite hardened, the list of issues, and how to mitigate them if you wish is here. Mulch is my choice when I want a Chromium browser.
The developer is adamant about pushing security patches. So it is frequently updated.

Another Mull user here. It works very well for me and I like the fact that I can use content blockers like uBlock with it.
