Are per domain night mode, or per domain not night modes planned? The night mode works good on most websites but some that already have a dark mode like the mobile version of arstechnica.com look strange so black/white listing them would be handy.

Exactly. Wasn't sure which words are more common, line break or text wrap...

This has to be he best browser out there, clean modern fast.

Just have one small suggestion: could you add a feature that automatically "clears (selected) browsing data" when pressing exit. Basically just like firefox has. Or if possible make a lightweight version of this app to compete with "firefox focus" that does all the cleaning etc when closing app.

I am saying "a small suggestion" but i know it might not be small at all.. Im not a dev so i dont know if its a lot of work to do sorry.

Keep up the good work tho love the app!
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
That's ok, I'm not against work :)

Clear browse data on Exit is actually a small task.

I'm trying to prioritize the requests, I still didn't deliver NewTabPage Speeddial and Bottombar (and those 2 are actually difficult) so this is my focus for now, and then, certainly I will do.
[Android Apps and Games] BADA 187:
Nice one! You could start a poll with the most frequent requests and then let the people vote and you have an easy view of the priorities!

Just found out this browser today:D and it's definitely way faster than Firefox on my 3 yrs old tablet.

Got uBlock Origin installed but somehow couldn't figure it out on how to show my bookmarks as home page.

In Firefox I set my Homepage as about:bookmarks and whenever I open Firefox I see all my bookmarks as a list (which is the way I wanted).

about:blank works in Kiwi, but about:bookmarks doesn't:mad:.

Please help and thanks in advance.

Is there a way to manually block sites from pop-ups?

As certain sites keep creating pop-ups.

Or any good extentions that do that?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] uniextra:
Hi, new here to Kiwi. i have created my own extension, its working well on Chrome (desktop) and i like to port it to kiwi.

I have anabled developer mode, under extensions tab, but i cant seam to load the extension there, i tried loading the unziped and it's not possible and when y zip the extesion and then load it.. no error is shown, but not extension is loaded either,.

Try posting on the TG channel as more active than this thread, you might get help then.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
It's sad when a good PUBLIC forum is neglected in favor of a proprietary social media app. And what happens if/when TG is shut down? All that encrypted info will be gone. Not so with something that's OPEN. Folks, use XDA!
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.FREE_Bird:
I get what you are saying and I partially agree with you but I think you shouldn't ignore the benefits of TG compared to a forum. TG has the big benefit of being able to directly interact with users in a way more efficient and quicker way to get feedback, test and fix things. Those things take a lot of more time on a forum like XDA. So using TG makes a lot of sense from an ease of use standpoint in my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
You interact with bots instead of SEARCHING. Just ask Alexa instead ? it's hard to find anything in a noisy chatroom, so one ends up generating more noise by asking the same questions. A forum thread can be almost "dead" looking because it's all there and only needs to be searched for. And anyone, with or without an account, is welcome to find and use it. No registration required, especially one that requires one's phone number ?

Anyway, apologies to all about the off-topic. I've said my peace. ✌?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.FREE_Bird:
No you don't depending on the group and what the purpose of the group is. I am currently one of the admins of the OP6/T Gcam group. And the same rule applies there as with the XDA forums, search before you ask for anything. And the whole noise thing depends and how well controlled the group is by admins and how the group is setup with blacklisted words etc. There are a lot of ways to control the noise in groups that are big.

That last point you are mentioning is definitely a big benefit, not having to create an account to find certain information, I agree on that. But I don't see any problem in using both a forum on which all the important is provided and a Telegram group for the benefits I previously mentioned.

I think it all comes down to personal preferences but I don't see any problems as long users get the option to use both.

But I'll stop this decision right here too. I apologise for the off topic discussion too but I just wanted to share my thoughts since I think it could be useful.

Peace out.

[MENTION=5000683]uniextra[/MENTION] The way I install extensions coded by myself is this:

Install total commander, in kiwi go to extensions and enable developer mode, tap on load, use totalcmd(file://url ) to load extension's file.

This way you can install unzipped extensions loading manifest.json file.

Just remember that kiwi doesn't implement all the api for extensions.

When I try to export bookmarks through the native bookmarks menu, it loads a page at file:///data/user/0/com.kiwibrowser.browser/app_chrome/bookmarks.html

This site works great for me, I installed the version that is now in Play Market. Android 8.1, ZTE. It happens that some sites are opened the second time when you click on a bookmark, there may be other errors, but this browser is great. I would like to wish the developer success and not give up supporting the Kiwi project.
[Android Apps and Games] 13th_Warrior:
djcsurf said: "Try posting on the TG channel as more active than this thread, you might get help then."

Telegram belongs to citizen Durov, and many people believe that he cooperates and sells user data to the FSB. And this is quite possible. Better to discuss projects like Kiwi here and not in a stupid Telegram.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I know this is probably a Chrome thing but is it possible to disable pwa creation on sites via the add to home screen function? Like a Twitter list page I want to link to the desktop but it installs the pwa for Twitter for the homepage instead which is pointless and I lose my kiwi menu/extensions.

[Android Apps and Games] 13th_Warrior:
The browser is good, but what about the situation that many sites simply do not work, or different elements do not work on many sites, since the browser version is still on version 77 of Chromium, and now version 88 has already been released. It seems to me that many who have installed Kiwi are tormented by switching to something else.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
I gave up on Kiwi a while ago for those very reasons. Too many bugs on different sites and dark mode resetting every time I close it on my tablet. It needs a major chromium update.
[Android Apps and Games] fobtob387:
I use this browser extensively without issues unlike the ones reported above, but I do agree with the fact that it needs a Chomium updates and has needed so for quite a while now.

[Android Apps and Games] 13th_Warrior:
The simplified page mode is broken, it's useless to check the box in the settings, but it worked before. Although the offer to go into it from below appears. Without this, to use the browser is not the sense.

P.S.: I'm sorry. The simplified mode works, but not stable, the text in it is loaded from the fifth or sixth time, especially if there are many animated images in the middle of the text. Tried it in Chrome, it works there without any problems.

I love this browser but frankly it's fallen behind. Edge dev is simply killing it in performance and battery. Once it has extension support it's game over for Kiwi for me
[Android Apps and Games] 13th_Warrior:
"I love this browser but frankly it's fallen behind. Edge dev is simply killing it in performance and battery. Once it has extension support it's game over for Kiwi for me"

One gets the impression that this browser has been abandoned for a long time. On the Git Hub, people ask questions, but there are zero answers from the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
The dev has posted earlier that an actual Chromium rebase was scheduled for April but it was postponed later. I am still hopeful.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I am gonna check out Edge. I have tolerated Chrome in my mobile devices purely because of its excellent sync. Edge on Windows is much improved so its worth a shot. Kiwi has been very power efficient in my experience esp. in my older devices where Chrome is quite poor. But in some websites scrolling in Kiwi is not smooth, 52-55fps instead of 60fps. Soul Browser is unbelievably smooth. I had tested by lowering CPU clocks and it was still very close to 60fps. Dunno what voodoo it incorporates. However the SSL errors don't inspire confidence although the dev said that they are of no consequence. Thanks.

Edit: I gave Edge Dev a try and wasn't too impressed. Scrolling was no better than Kiwi. In any case the dearth of customization options meant that it could never replace Kiwi. Soul Browser comes closest.
[Android Apps and Games] 13th_Warrior:
I compared Edge to Chrome on PC. Chrome significantly surpasses (Chrome uses little RAM and quickly unloads memory after closing tabs) Edge in terms of RAM consumption. And Edge tried it on Android, but it consumes the battery like crazy.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
You need to use edge dev, which has been updated with the newer chrome base, 91. On win and android for me all my devices run longer and cooler, sorry it didn't work for you. Check out http://speed-battle.com/index.php and see how they compare. For me edge dev blows kiwi away

[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
It must depend on the site. Chromecast still works for me--at least on the several porn sites I visit regularly.
[Android Apps and Games] esysfound:
Sorry have to weigh in here - whatever marginal differences there might be in specs, speed and battery life, Kiwi blows everything away in terms of its customization. Edge is not even in the same universe. Nothing can touch Kiwi at the moment in terms of e.g. font customization, ease of backup and copying bookmarks/favorites (without loss of privacy during synching), all kinds of extensions I have to manage security, passwords, paywalls, ad blocking, script blocking, etc., and front page customization. Kiwi has replaced Firefox sadly for me at least on the phone - FF Android customization and user control has been gutted. Kiwi was updated 11 May and front page tweaking now great.

It depends what is important to you - for me it is control. Will take that any day over speed and battery (and really, a few seconds here or there...). Kudos to the developer and keep the faith.

I'm sure this must be a remedial question, but I'm flummoxed by it... how do I bookmark the current page?

Menu (hamburger/three dots)- Bookmarks shows "Mobile bookmarks", and the ability to "Import" - from a file, not the current page - or Export.

Menu - "Add to Home Screen" works... but adds to the Android Launcher (Nova, in my case) home screen, not to Kiwi's home page.
