Cloudfare verification is not working, the “Verify that you are human” box does not appear:

At first this screen appears, …

… and then this one without the verification box. Cannot verify, of course.

Tested on Kiwi 103.0.5060.104 and 107.0.5304.74.

If using Opera browser (v71.3.3718.67322), …

… it works.

Just in case it may be of help, here's this unrendered captcha information I got with uBlock Origin:

Hope it helps. 🙂

2 Tab display?

Have searched thread but see no solution - has anyone gotten 2 tabs to display side by side or one over the other? I think Chrome android browser can/could do this. There is a desktop app (Tab Resize) but it does not seem to work on Kiwi's android browser. Of course Android allows 2 different apps to be shown on split screen but I'd like to see 2 tabs in Kiwi.

Example: 1 tab shows real time package delivery status, 1 tab shows some news feed or email. In portrait mode these would be displayed vertically; in landscape, horizontally.

In desktop browsers, this works fine with the above extension both in Firefox, Chrome, and Brave. Looking for a Kiwi for android solution. Thx

Here is a report about an annoyance which for some reason remembers me of, back in much earlier days of the internet, the dreaded popup windows which appeared on certain websites:

12:21:01 image comment: Momma, I perfectly know what files are good or not. So, for people like me and enlightened others this is an annoyance.

12:21:53 image comment: Daddy, I perfectly know that I am downloading files and I am already being notified of active downloads via Kiwi browser's “active downloads”, and I can freely choose to have them or not. This is enforced, wrong, and is just another annoyance.

Now, if someone knows how to disable or destroy these annoyances, please share the knowledge.

Have a good day. 🤗

For whatever reason I decided to install version 112.0.5615.137, and the problem with the password manager which I reported in post #3597 is still present:

There is also another problem which seems related to the password manager bar bug: I can not make use of the “insert link” tool while editing post like this one here, the drop down menu withdraws or closes as I tap on it no matter how many times I tap over.

Wellp, went back to good ol' 103.0.5060.104, which does NOT have the password manager bar bug and lets me use the insert link tool here.
[Android Apps and Games] namitutonka:
If you liked Kiwi version 112.0.5615.137, then you could always copy/paste passwords. Enpass password manager version 6.8.6 suppllies my username when logging into Google using Kiwi version 107.0.5304.54, but then the pop-up password extension is missing for the Google password, and I have to copy/paste.
[Android Apps and Games] Barkuti:
Edited my previous message for clarification purposes: “… went back to good ol' 103.0.5060.104, which does NOT have the password manager bar bug and lets me use the insert link tool here.”

namitutonka, I can't say if I liked 112.0.5615.137 (or 112.0.5615.135), or it's more like that I didn't. After all, why would I like something with problems instead of something which works?

You mention the passwords thing, and yes, I had a little issue with the stuff: I had exported my Kiwi passwords to a file before uninstalling 112.0.5615.137 and then installing 103.0.5060.104, but I there is no “import passwords from file” in Kiwi, or at least it's not in 103.0.5060.104. @#$%! What's the point, then? In my lightful opinion, only a real n00b and/or 🙄 dumb-arse, or someone with an absolutely perfect memory would not store his/her passwords somehow or somewhere. Geez!
[Android Apps and Games] namitutonka:
Yeah. Passwords are so ubiquitous that it would be nice if there were a required import/export standard.

@arnaud42 -I have been using your Kiwi Browser (classic) Git210814Gen1130924267 for a few years.

After recently trying the current Kiwi Browser, Generation 4736345870 (112.0.5615.137) for arm64, I noticed the following problems/annoyances that I wish to bring to your attention:

The "Desktop mode by default" Accessibility setting does not work and browser defaults to Mobile site regardless of setting. I tested this with the arm64 version of the broswer on my LG V20 US996.

The page URL in the Omnibox does not fully display. In Kiwi Browser (classic), the browser may be set to always display the URL by setting the chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains flag to Disabled. The flag is no longer available in Kiwi Browser 112.0.5615.137 (arm64) and there appears to be no other way to have the URL always show in the Omnibox. I request that the feature to show the entire URL in the Omnibox be added or added again. (This may be a good setting for the Toolbar settings category)

The pull to refresh functionality is enabled by default and there is no more option to disable it. In Kiwi Browser (classic) one may disable the (anti-)feature by setting chrome://flags/#disable-pull-to-refresh-effect to Disabled. The flag appears to no longer be available in Kiwi Browser 112.0.5615.137 (arm64). The pull to refresh feature is very annoying; one may, with ease, unintentionally refresh a page when one does not want to refresh a page. I request the ability to disable the pull-to-refresh feature be added or added again. (This may be a good setting for the Accessibility settings category)

I also note the package size for the Kiwi Browser 112.0.5615.137 (arm64) to be very much larger than that for Kiwi Browser (classic) (over 3.5x more). My understanding is that this is because newer Chromium bases are so very much larger. Kiwi Browser (classic) may still have to be used for low storage devices.

Thank you for providing and continuing to develop the Kiwi Browser project.

EDIT1: After testing, the "Desktop mode by default" feature works in the Generation 4474244826 (111.0.5563.104), older version of Kiwi Browser. Releases before the 112.X version series appear to have the "Desktop mode by default" feature working. I note that problems/annoyances enumerated items 1. and 2. above are also present in this version.

EDIT2: I also tried Generation 3356207093 (107.0.5304.75) (arm) on an a ZTE Jasper LTE (Z718TL) device running Android 6.0.1 (the 111.x version series requires Android 7.0+). "Desktop mode by default" also worked on that version. I note that problems/annoyances enumerated items 1. and 2. above are also present in this version.

How to change (back) the number of rows and columns of icons/symbols in my Speeddial CLASSIC homepage?

I defined the SpeedDial page as my default classic Homepage for new tabs.

Since a few days I observed that the icons/symbols are sorted in 5 columns (instead as 4 columns as before).

Maybe I have accidentally changed something.

How can I change the number of columns back to 4?

Or is this a matter of icon/symbol size?

Then how do I increase icon/symbol size on SpeedDial homepage?

Reporting about Kiwi Browser 116.0.5845.27.

There's still some sort of issue going on with Cloudflare when using “Desktop view” or whatever it is called in English, something which doesn't happens with Opera 76.2.4027.73374, another Chromium based browser. Let me ilustrate with this link:

The problem is related to the desktop user agent string which Kiwi employs, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/116.0.0.0 Safari/537.36,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)". The Opera browser I am using utilizes the user agent string "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.5735.196 Safari/537.36 OPR/100.0.4815.13,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe)" and it validates correctly:

The forum message editor also chokes a little bit with desktop view… 😒 but that's a different issue.

Cheers everyone.

Why is 'Touch to Search' removed in the newest version?
[Android Apps and Games] JackSlaterIV:
Hello guys,

I lost all my tabs after tapping on the exit button.

Is this beahaviour expected?

Do you know any possible way to restore all the lost tabs?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
It should be available in History? Unless you enabled the Clear all and exit option I remember seeing previously.
[Android Apps and Games] JackSlaterIV:
Thanks, but the history contains just the last visited websites.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Hello,

I'm currently running this version of kiwi src on my lg velvet 5g android phone: 116.0.5845.72 which I obtained from this site: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next/releases/tag/5877778038 . I've always enjoyed using the kiwi browser, but at least for me I basically just have one issue with the browser, and that is allowing live video streams to play in the background. This way I can listen to the audio portion of the stream with my phone screen turned off, I'm currently having to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.japp.blackscreen to allow me to do this with kiwi. There are at least a couple of different android browsers that have that functionality already built into the browser settings. Still overall the kiwi browser is a great browser.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Oh so these tabs were from many days ago? In that case try using an extension named History Unlimited or something. Last I had used it seemed to show all the websites ever accessed even some from months ago IIRC.

Edit: Try this instead. All the websites visited in my case since the first installation in June were available.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
You can install Violentmonkey extension and use a script instead.

Edit: This script. Works even with the device locked as long as the Battery Optimization settings for Kiwi are correctly set.
[Android Apps and Games] JackSlaterIV:
Thank you, the problem is that my tabs were often very old (years). So searching thousands of entries in the history is not feasible.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply, being honest I should have provided additional information concerning at least one specific site that I was reffering to: https://www.msnbc.com/ I would at least like to be able to hear the audio portion of that news stream with my phone screen turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
The script in contrast to what it's name suggests works for some other sites as well. I couldn't get the video stream to even play in my primary device but it did work in my secondary device (same Kiwi version in both but installed from Play Store in the latter IIRC and Github in case of the former ) and the script was able to work it's magic. No issues even with the device locked.
[Android Apps and Games] Davy49:
Thanks so much for your reply, I could 'fallback' to a previous version of kiwi, but if I did so the earlier version might have some security concerns because of it being an earlier android version.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Latest Kiwi version is in use in both the devices.

[Android Apps and Games] JaraCimrman:
Hi! I am having some trouble with recent version, specifically function "Remove AMP" function does not work, it used to work fine in previous version but now it acts like its not there, even when activated.

There is also issue when you want to enter tab switcher, tapping the tab count icon sometimes does nothing, swiping up on address bar doesnt work either and I have to open new tab, then the tab switcher can be entered again.

Sometimes "Open in external application" have to be chosen manually instead of working on its own (there were also some trouble with this in the past)

I really like this browser, it has features others dont have, so I hope these will get fixed in future releases (as they were in previous times).

Thank you for all the work and time you put into this!
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I have faced the first two issues as well.
[Android Apps and Games] JaraCimrman:
You can achieve this with uBlock Origin extension, its in Settings->Privacy. The extension itself is very privacy focused, I highly recommend it.

Hi,

There's a persistent bug i have since a couple of updates now.

Whenever i open the tab switcher, i'm unable to scroll up to past tabs, only latest and half of previous one is visible and i'm locked in this view until i remove kiwi from recents, then it works again until i leave to homescreen (not exiting) and open again to a blocked tab switcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Barkuti:
IamTheBRAVE, please first install Googl€ Chrome to check if the bug is present in it, as I think Chrome is the basis from which Kiwi is built (can't say 100% for sure, though); if Chrome has the bug, you know who is to blame for.

Let me also suggest switching the tab switcher to “Desktop”, and see what happens. The desktop tab switcher offers a clear aerial view of the opened tabs, and I find it a lot more useful than any other tab switcher mode (at least in landscape orientation).

Hello and thank you for your browser. I have one question about using it: is it possible to somehow use dark theme without changing websites themes? I mean that if page is white with white theme, then it must remain white in dark theme. Or is it possible to somehow use chrome themes(that will replace white interface) for android browser? Thank you for answer :)

Sadly it doesn't fully support the Russian language...

[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] hi dev. A great work thank you veey much. I have a request if you accept. I've also wrote on google play on Turkish.

I dont know have you ever used VIA Browser but there is a perfect feature "Network Log".

It allows us to copy the link of everything that you see on website. For example Im watching a tv show "Suits". There is no download link on website and sometimes touch and hold feature doesnt work. I like to copy link and download it with ADM(Advanced Download Manager). So, the "Network Log" feature allows me to see the source link of video and copy it. Also VIA browser can download with ADM when hold the link and click download.

I loved your browser. Please add this feature on it if you have time. Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Oh I think I just saw your comment on the Play Store ;)

No, but I am going to open Via Browser immediately, this is very interesting what you describe. I saw it in an Android browser (fork of Ninja) a history of all media seen on the page and that was really really cool. So obviously I am very interested into this Network log feature

About ADM, I talked to the dev (Albert) few days ago and he gave me the lines to integrate in the browser.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Would it be possible to share a screenshot about the YouTube issue ?

For PiP, it's not supported yet, but from time to time you may be able to trigger it ;)

In 2 versions that should be better.

Stumbled upon this on Reddit and boy its almost a perfect browser for me. Only thing preventing from shifting from Samsung internet is the bookmark sync...

Please add this in the next update. Also consider adding the dark theme on front page.

Hello,

In general, one thing that will come at some point is extensions support.

Is there a specific functionality in uBlock that you miss in the browser currently ? (or filters)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
It doesn't exist yet, and thank you very much for the nice words.

It's planned though ;) (it's a quite small feature)
[Android Apps and Games] Faithful4real:
Please can you allow the app to use phone font.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] I'm really sorry but I have nearly nothing to complain. Still a good job that you've done. Using this browser now since day 1.

While activated night mode, the commented words I've written weren't visible here in that quick reply. Nothing major for me
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
1) This is planned

2) What about adding the value that is behind the "Default" in chrome://flags ? Would that work for you ?

3) I'll answer below with more details, otherwise the answer is: "It is really much changed", but it doesn't work so well on Estonian websites as I didn't have time to write rules for it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
On older versions (early Oreo, and < P), in the System UI Tuner you can tune the status bar and mostly hide everything.

However, this is really ROM dependent and simple applications (like the browser) don't have this possibility as far as I know.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
In fact, no.

It's called "Hide annoying ads" for many reasons:

1) It's to give a "good surprise" effect.

It's better to claim that you remove most of ads, and remove all. Than to claim that you remove all, and remove only part of ads.

2) There is a maintainability cost

Do a filter for 300x250, and you remove 50% of ads

Do another filter for 468x60 and you have 75%, etc

but the closer you go to 100%, the more effort it requires.

The last 10% are ultimately the most difficult and time consuming. Removing this little ad on an obscure website where nobody goes.

3) It's very important for the browser to stay on the store.

It brings lot of users, and lot of trust as well.

Did you notice that Brave doesn't block Google Search ads ?

I don't think it's a bug.

I can tell you why I don't block these ads: I don't get any money from it, but I know that if I mess with Google they are going to kill the project.

I would find it deceptive to come and say "we block all ads", and then the first search you do, you get an ad :laugh:

In general, it's not me to decide what the user wants to see or not so I need to figure out a way for the user to decide (custom filtering rules, hide element feature, etc).

Generally, the default settings should be rather comfy.

Hope it answers,
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yep, it is in the pipeline for the more long-term roadmap, as there are quite a lot of bug fixes and improvements to do first.

Do you have some extensions in mind that you are particularly interested into ?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks a lot, it makes me very happy as I spend lot of time to develop Kiwi :D

"Hide annoying ads" is really blocking requests in order to speedup loading.

You can see it if you plug your device (phone / tablet) with Developer Mode activated, and then open Chrome (on your computer) then the Developer Console and then go in [Menu] -> [Remote Devices] and there you can pick Kiwi Browser and then click [Network].

The requests that are blocked appear in Red.

On top it applies cosmetic filtering to avoid too much blank spaces.
[Android Apps and Games] Samir2298:
Really awesome browser. It's fast and smooth. But I am little disappointed with the night mode. It does not really work the way it should. See the attachments below. I did the comparsion of night mode between samsung and kiwi browser.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hey Samir,

Thanks for the kind words about the speed.

Very interesting (and useful) comparison for the night mode.

While Google looks ok, I agree that the top banner of XDA should be dark, not white. The video players have similar issue, since the background is black, it turns out white.

The worst example I have spotted is arstechnica.com -- fortunately for most websites (medium, hackernews, wikipedia, etc) it works fairly well.

What I'll do: Add new settings for Night Mode to give more freedom to the user, then I can start tuning the night mode for these edge cases.

The new settings will be ready next week, the time for me to prepare them.

Note: the settings won't solve this case, but are one step forward.

Kinja websites like Kotaku and Gizmodo are completely blank with ad blocking, so their sites are one big ad? Won't be surprising if it is :D
