Vivaldi is pretty much the only browser that pushes to have as many features as possible. Since features are what matters the most to me, my desktop browser choice is a no-brainer.

(On mobile features matter much less to me because I only use my phone for browsing when I don't have access to my PC. I use Firefox Preview there.)

In the browser? I don't think so. I mean, not even in desktop Chrome/Firefox without an extension.

As an app in general:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jp.sblo.pandora.aGrep/ (regex search)
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.jecelyin.editor/ (text editor with in page regex replace and batch search and replace)
Also, this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... dsen.agrep

It supports multi-step (=multiple search/replace statements; executed sequentially) regex replace operations in one (/path/to/folder/file) or multiple (/path/to/folder/*) files.

Just don't forget to enable the storage permission manually in the settings because it won't prompt you.
