Oh man! THIS is the browser I've been waiting for. Hells yeah! Just started using today with play store version... Will get the newest when you fix the 3dot menu issue as I am looking forward to the bottom search bar. Well done.
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
I dig the bottom address bar. In terms of UI Via browser is good inspiration I believe, there is so much customisation there, long presses, swipes, everything.

I've noticed swipe address bar for tabs preview is gone in this build?

Also I still get "show simplified view" on some pages for no reason.

I would like to see User Agent change option in further releases, it's always good to put it permanently on Chrome desktop while browsing.

Thanks for your effort.

I would like to manually add the necessary tabs to the main screen (1 screenshot)

At the moment, to the main screen is adds by frequently visited sites

I want the bookmark button to be on the left, because "HOME" button no one uses (1 screenshot)

"open a new tab" button should be moved at least to the center (2 screenshot)

There is one more problem (error), in google chrome in the settings of Java script you can add a site to the exclusions, and there you can enable or disable the java script for the desired site, in your browser it is impossible to enable or disable java script for the required site, enable or disable can only notifications, fix this error

Just reporting an issue.

I get a notification "Unfortunately Kiwi browser has stopped" when installed it on sdcard.

I'm on xperia m4 aqua, x64, stock 6.0.1

I really appreciate it, thanks for your hard work
[Android Apps and Games] Muljeb:
I was wondering the same lol

Everyone, I have managed to fix the issue with the menu and the bottom bar on certain devices. I am pushing the release as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] vipinaggar:
please consider aria2 addon.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have an odd glitch that I believe is new after the update.

1)Site settings>javascript>add exception to allow javascript (example:youtube.com)

2) click on the site and press "clear and reset" to attempt to delete site from exceptions.

3)site is still listed. It won't delete from exceptions. Attempted to toggle javascript on globally and remove exception with same result.

Stock Moto G4 Play, android 7.1.1

Edit to add: the site setting doesn't show "javascript allow" like Bromite does for me, but the undeletable exception is still allowing javascript.

Edit 2: Same after both July 4 updates.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Hey great update.... But... I was wondering if the video player update was going to fix something I noticed but it appears not... Trying to play a video from Canada's CBC website and it doesn't work in this browser. No problem in any others. For example the first video from this news story: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4732934

It won't play.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hello,

I have released a new version Lychee, which is actually how Kiwi should have been released this morning.

The bottom toolbar and anything that modifies the appearance is always a very risky thing.

The menu that was buggy is called a PopupMenu and you can read documentation here:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/PopupMenu

"A PopupMenu displays a Menu in a modal popup window anchored to a View. The popup will appear below the anchor view if there is room, or above it if there is not. "

I wrongly assumed that there was no space under the button, however in reality, on some devices there is space. Very little but space. So I changed the logic to calculate the menu position manually to be "screenHeight - menuHeight".

This version fixes the menu of the bottom bar on certain devices and resolves issues with background play.

There is also a new shortcut to open a new tab on long-press on tab stack icon (next to menu).

It also automatically disables Duplex if the bottom bar is enabled so no need to do it anymore.

I took a shortcut, this was not a good one so I apologize to all the brave explorers who tried the feature this morning and lost their main menu for few hours.

These coming days I will do mostly bugfixes so if you have issues please ping me.

I will read backward the thread too.
[Android Apps and Games] najodleglejszy:
just a quick question, since - as far as I can tell - you've opened the source, have you considered submitting Kiwi to F-droid?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
That's definitively ugly, I'll fix that this week :) Thanks for the help.

About clear data on exit, I will try to avoid adding new features during this week and try to focus on getting the browser more stable and clean but after yes, I can figure out.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Hello is the latest update already integrated with ADM?
[Android Apps and Games] maciey2:
There is such feature in chrome, that when we have opened incognito tab, in the multitasking view chrome window is white, doesn't show the content. Could you add such a feature in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] Sauronych:
Would it be possible to move the top sites section on the new tab page to the bottom when bottom toolbar is enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Ok I will fix number 2. Many users complain about it.

About number 1 I need to try :)
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
And please add adm integration
[Android Apps and Games] Avhill:
Hi !

I just wanted to say that with the improvements youv'e made on this browser lately, it is perfect !

Thanks a lot !
[Android Apps and Games] MikeMTS:
Really great browser, almost certainly my favourite out of the handful I've been testing out for my choice of main Android browser the last few weeks. Allowing the browser bar at the bottom pretty much sealed the deal.

I'm also a big fan of the night mode with customizable contrast. The common white on black night mode makes my eyes hurt but here I can select a much better light grey on dark grey for page text.

However right now there's one - for me - somewhat crippling issue. When I hold down to select text on a website it almost seems like pure luck if the context menu pops up on the selected text or if it just shows as selected but with no menu. Without it there's no way to use to features I often need on some sites, copy text to paste somewhere else, or choose translate for a text segment on a foreign language site (living abroad I'm currently learning the local language).

Reloading a page typically doesn't fix the problem, although on several tries closing a tab and then opening the page in a new tab will fix the issue, but usually only briefly. The second or third time I mark text the floating menu will again be missing.

It does seem like the issue might be tied to having loaded the page in simplified view (a feature I really like on text heavy pages), even if I then go back to the regular page view again.

One more request, as I think I saw someone else ask on one of the previous pages, is to have an option to allow the browser interface to remain white (or dark in night mode) even on websites that otherwise force a different color.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
I've noticed on an AMP page the context menu doesnt work but on a regular page it does.

The other thing I notice is that on a website I use with placemarks, if I zoom in pinching it doesnt reload the map with the placemarks redistributed, it literally just zooms in on the placemarks. The other browsers will automatically reload the placemark positions according to the zoom level. But I think it's still a work in progress. Totally the browser I've been looking for!
[Android Apps and Games] teostar:
Great update, love the bottom address bar. I have an idea, is it possible to get the 'speed dial' links to occupy the bottom half of the start page. That would this the best browser for one-handed use.

Keep up the good work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] MeExilex3:
I use the "Home" Button so saying that no-one does isn't true! ?

But if the Dev adds the "OPTION" to choose whether or not to replace the Home button with the Bookmark Star should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Ya, the "Home" button is the main reason I tried this browser in the first place! I hate that chrome doesn't have it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
Umm...Chrome has a home button, doesn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Not on my mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] delscate:
You can activate it with url chrome://flags
[Android Apps and Games] delscate:
Thanks for the bottom bar [emoji106][emoji106]

For the swipe up, can you add menu like in old canary beta
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
At first it can remove nice features of the website such as comments.

Then a few articles to read:

https://medium.com/@danbuben/why-amp-is-bad-for-your-site-and-for-the-web-e4d060a4ff31

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/19/open_source_insider_google_amp_bad_bad_bad/

https://danielmiessler.com/blog/google-amp-not-good-thing/
[Android Apps and Games] testeraphy:
Not that, having no comment is not really a bad things, also if "comment" section is that web feature, they can include them to be rendered inside amp (bad things, read below) , it's up to webmasters. Want to make a comment? You'll need to tap that "join discussion" button which is redirected from amp page, which the webmaster have to add themself.

If you read, they mainly say it's bad for web. Not us. User. The problem is mainly for them, webmasters. In fact it is good for us, user, as overall page is going to be loaded faster.

The bad things, as webmasters who want to use amp technology, you HAVE TO follow Google standard. So it kind of monopoly, I think I read somewhere that Google do something for website that not using amp correctly (I might be wrong about this one). Bad for internet health. More than that, external source like js, something like some comment provider or ads provider won't work on amp pages, which, reducing revenue. Some of data (say, js) also come from Google, which is bad for certain people.

The only bad thing that I feel from amp page are, media often not showing. Sometimes when I believe that placeholder is about article, it's an ad instead. So, I have to use regular page if I want to watch videos inside that article.

Most of times, amp page come from single article from news feed (yes, I haven't found any web that use amp as default and kill that web features), so it didn't remove that web feature much since once you tap on that web homepage, you'll use normal web page (most of times I just close it after reading that article). If website is that powerful, their webmaster won't use amp anyway.

Feel free to correct me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cnkzlyr:
What about Network Log and ADM integration to hold and click download button bro? Thanks for your efforts
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Probably a matter of point of view. Here is mine ;)

That's not an argument for me since I don't think webmasters always have to follow Google's guidelines. Many devs/webmasters/youtubers are suffering from Google' decisions.

That's a short-term reasoning. Users will always take advantage of a decentralized network but they are always considered as a product when talking about closed-source systems (data collection, free features which become paid, less choices...).

Always using Google as your search engine and Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp as your feed news and social networks means that you are loosing the game.

As for users, AMP doesn't help concerning fake news BTW.

To make the page loading faster I simply switch to Kiwi Browser lol

What is "ADM integration"?
[Android Apps and Games] cnkzlyr:
ADVANCED DOWNLOAD MANAGER app. We will touch and hold something and there will be "download" button and when we click it will download the thing via ADM

[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Could you please share one or two examples that could help me to see the issue ?

I think this is coming from Chromium but I can always revert some changes.
[Android Apps and Games] Henki98:
Why I close the app with open pages and when I reopen the app there aren't more open pages? Is it a function or a problem of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
Nvm
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Two theories:

1) Do you use Exit button or you swipe ?

If yes, then this one closes all tabs when exiting

2) Do you tick in Settings - Privacy - Close tabs on exit ?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks to everybody who shared the info :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

That's the setting we are talking about.

Can I change it from the browser, I'm not sure, but at least I think you have a solution now :D

I am looking into it though, because if it can be changed from the browser, then I can make other users benefit from it.
[Android Apps and Games] LPW00:
Nah, that doesn't really do the trick. First of all, because LOS has it's own implementation of the expanded desktop and when I tried a custom qs tile for it on LOS, I got a crashing systemui, although that may be a faulty implementation. Secondly, at least on my end, there's a small line of the omnibox/status bar/website (I have no fvcking idea what it is), that stays visible at the top when in expanded mode.

The latest version with fully working full screen that I found is 63.0.3239.
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
The night mode might need much more work. It seems it inverts the colour. So dark websites go white with night mode. Lol
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yes, it's broken on black websites and players.

Will figure out a solution, I know the issue now, I have this fear at night that I click on a website with a black background now :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks. I'll find what has changed and how to solve that.
[Android Apps and Games] LPW00:
Thank u very much.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I have wrote a patch, I think it might work (I couldn't test) :D

I have sent you the APK in PM.

EDIT: Sadness, it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] eavandijk83:
Overall awesome piece of software, really good job. Ad-block isn't working very well. I'm missing buttons and sliders on webpages with ad-block enabled. I'm impressed about the speed of the browser!!! Nice.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks!

Yes the adblocker tries to hide what is "sticky" on the page (floats on top of the page) but only when it looks suspiciously floating (which is basically, what looks like 16:9 at the bottom or top of the page, this explained why Theverge.com had no header).

The rationale behind this is that some phone screens are very small, and when you have a sticky bar on the top, and a sticky bar at the bottom, then you can't see much. So if it believes that it is a cookie-banner, or some kind of social sharing (Twitter, Facebook, etc) it tends to try to hide it.

Do you miss these buttons ?
[Android Apps and Games] KaaMyA:
Hi friend!

First of all, thanks for sharing your great work with us :)

I'd like to know if, in order to gain display space, your adblocking feature includes hiding the space where an ad is located, instead of just disabling it, leaving a white space with the size of that ad.

Thanks again ;)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yep it does remove the blank/white space, it's not just a host blocking, there is a full cosmetic filtering.

You can see it very well for example on AMP-powered pages, they become super clean.

If it doesn't work on a website, you can reply here the address or in PM if you don't want to reveal the name of the website

Generally it's always the same stuff (a 300x250 iframe, etc) so every feedback is helping many websites :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
Wew lad this is blazing fast it completely trashes brave browser for me and I thought it was the best browser on mobile.

And ad blocking man is so good that there is no more blank spaces on my favourite websites thank you for this amazing browser.

I was just wondering would you be able to make a Armx64 version?& would it make a difference?

Also night mode is great would very much like to use it if it was more AMOLED friendly.

A flag/option to renable animations would be nice coming from other chromium based browser makes the transition quite drastic.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I've noted your comment about animations, I'll put it behind a setting as it is mostly a matter of taste / habit.

I have tried ARM64, it doesn't make a real-world difference (at least in my tests) and the main problem with ARM64 build is the following:

When you store data in memory (RAM), you need to remember the "address" where you have stored your data (this is called a pointer).

Imagine, everytime, you put your car keys somewhere but you don't remember where, so you need to write it down.

The thing is: in ARM, it takes 32-bits (= 4 bytes) of memory to store/write down each address/locations/pointers.

However, in ARM64, pointers takes 64-bits, so, each address takes 8 bytes to store.

For example, you store 1 million pointers, in ARM this will take 4 megabytes of RAM, in ARM64 this will take 8 megabytes of RAM.

To give you an idea, "Chrome 32-bit required just a little more than half (59.5 MB) of the memory that Chrome 64-bit required (111.6 MB)."

ARM64 will be mandatory in 2019 ( http://indianexpress.com/article/te...t-support-to-be-compulsory-from-2019-4992449/ ) so at some point I'll have to.

About the AMOLED night mode, this is what I have been working on today:

so I guess it answers your question :o
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
Wow I learned so much today thank you man.

I love you so much.

Bless you mate.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
First of all thank you for that browser. I was looking for an alternative for brave, which is more up to date and I thought CAF is dead. Nice to see it here!

Do you use HTTPS everywhere? Can you make the Newtab Icons a bit smaller? I would also love to see the information about blocked ads and trackers as a count on the new tab page. But that's only a nice to have feature. For some reason the tinted status bar and top of the browser are currently in my experience only working on xda for me.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hey,

I saw your e-mail that you have sent 20 minutes ago, so I'll paste the answer (for everyone):
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Nice thank you :) a quick and very detailed answer.

I have to withdraw my complain about the tint. I've just tested the pages webfail.at and stadt-bremerhaven.de and both have no tint on brave and chrome. Maybe the site's changed something.

Your answer is very good for me and I'll keep that browser now safe on my phone. Maybe you should link the XDA profile on the play store. Also I thought it's a fake browser to gain user data. Germans are getting very sensitive last days but still always keep WhatsApp and Facebook apps installed ^^ nevertheless I've searched via Google and found the thread and I'm happy now
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
NIGHT MODE!!!!! :laugh:

finally night mode back in chrome :good:

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] arnabghorui:
Hey man I love your browser very much. Blazing fast. Its good that the browser has an option to download in the sdcard. But the browser doesn't download files in the 'downloads' folder in the sdcard. Instead it downloads inside the app folder inside 'Android' folder. It will be easy to access downloaded files directly from 'downloads' folder in the sdcard. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Thanks for browser.

I don't know what you can customise in chrome but my two suggestions would be to tweak pop up blocker like popup blocker strict for Firefox (just works better) and tweak interface like in yandex where all you need is in the bottom easy to access (address bar add new tab etc.)

Once again no idea if you can even change that, just saying.

Good luck with development.
[Android Apps and Games] Henki98:
Okay I was really noob, I don't know why, but it was reactivated the check on "close tabs on exit"
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Sure why not, what do you want to see there ?
[Android Apps and Games] MtBlackstar:
Bro some sites detects adblock making unable to view them unless its turned off .

Was using bromite before their ad block wasn't detected by sites .

Can u check into that?

The site I visited was www.kissanime.ru

But as soon as video plays the adblocker would be identified and it would be stopped .
[Android Apps and Games] delscate:
Same as canary : home download bookmark and history

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Can't remember the picture website exactly but for example gsmarena > review and that expendable menu where you can choose what page of review go to doesn't fully expand, working fine on Yandex. About the zoom think when I tap on something small instead of zoom box I get somewhat white box, not helping to browse websites with small text.

Oh and model mayhem website won't work also, it loads but I can't use it for some reason. Hope that helps locate the issue.

Edit: I think gsmarena works like that because there is video below menu and if it expands fully it would obstruct video box? Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] StringerBelll:
Thank you, I removed the app & installed it again now it works fine :)
[Android Apps and Games] zacharias.maladroit:
Great browser, love it !

Is it possible to add option to disable javascript and block loading of images ?

This would be really helpful at times when reception is really bad (e.g. when only EDGE speeds are available - I know Germany is a developing country)

Thanks for consideration
