Great update!
[Android Apps and Games] matrixisreal:
and to the "why?" part: it just makes sense to have all the controls down where your finger is.

this also means that it makes sense to have the URL bar on the bottom as default

PS: talking about the style, I would suggest to use the 100% same style as the app drawer of AOSP launcher .

So the websites look like apps

Feature Idea:

It should be possible to add a new websites through the normal menu when you are on the website.

It is not convenient to type in the URL. we rather search quickly and visit the site anyway because we are not sure about full URL

Can you please provide more clarification on "[+] TLSv1.3 (better security)"?

Is it enabled by default? I can only see Draft 28 in chrome flags. Checking on https://www.howsmyssl.com it still shows TLS 1.2

Running the latest Yuzu version, downloaded from XDA

Loving the new update.

The customizable home screen is great, and the big icons are nice I think, although I don't really care if they are big or small.

Leave them how you like them.

The news is now all British aswel. I really appreciate that.

Thanks for you hard work, keep it up :svetius:

mod edit have used many browsers like cm browser, ghostry, adblock browser, adplus browser, mozilla browsers ,and brave.

but they have all one thing in common ---

they start giving ads after some days. in one first week i get no advertising at all. then suddenly pop ups start coming back. Will use this browser for one week and then will give u feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] luvxinh:
Hi,

I have been a long time user of Habit browser, thanks to its insane ability to customize things. However, the developer is not active anymore. As a result, some function is missing. For my case, it's the black theme option.

I've found Kiwi browser here in xda and first impression is very good. However, there is this one web page where the browser was not able to block the ads (which was blocked in Habit browser). Could you please take a look at the following websites and see if the ad block can be improved?

https://m.dantri.com.vn/su-kien/hlv...m-khi-su-dung-duc-chinh-20181213113132592.htm

--> in simplified view, there is still ad at the bottom of page.

http://m.vietnamnet.vn/

--> ads in top and bottom of page

Thank you and please keep up good work

[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Wow, you have found a bug, do you still have it today ?

I suspect that one of the visited sites that you have is making the homepage to crash (I never managed to), I'm intrigued.

Does it work when you hit Reset ?
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
Yes, I have. Hitting Reset doesn't change anything. Maybe I should change homepage address, however I didn't do that before, so it should be default. If I should change it, to what address?

I send screenshots with hitting Reset, than icon from upper right corner, and homepage settings.

Is there anyway to get the Google search engine on the new tab page like in chrome. I like being able to search from there.
[Android Apps and Games] eldervamp17:
Hello, Love your browser. Finally a browser that's fast and comes with a adblocker that also removes cosmetics / elements :). Forgive me if this was already asked on previous threads but what adblock filter lists do you use? Easylist, Easyprivacy, Fanboy Annoyances. I prefer to have the adblock built in to the browser rather than a addon web extension but was wondering / suggesting maybe a option to import just a filter list instead?
[Android Apps and Games] :
The Dev uses his own custom filter for Kiwi and being continually improved with each release.

Can you enable chrome duet?

This chrome duplex is old version and not very functional, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] SenseSei:
I love your browser. Coming from Via after I had some annoyances and the constant lingering fear that it actually IS sending stuff home to China....

I would like to see 3 things:

1. The support of download managers like ADM.

I know you can share the link or have ADM monitor the clipboard but if Via could do it, maybe you also can. ;)

2. Moving the tabs to the bottom when you chose to use the bottom bar. So you don't need to move your fingers to the top of your screen when you want to switch tabs or close them.

3. The ability to add your bookmarks to the homepage from the bookmark menu and also move them to the bottom or maybe middle of the screen. Edit: it seems they get added to the homepage when you press the "reset" button.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] luvxinh:
Number 2 is already there. Look in accessibility
[Android Apps and Games] lukaaa477:
It is, but chrome duet will be much better with adress bar up and rest options down

(Also there is no home button down which I use the most)
[Android Apps and Games] SenseSei:
Well, maybe I worded it badly.

I have the bottom adressbar already but I also use the "simplified view for open tabs" and they descend starting from the top.
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
If I enable homepage in settings, I have homepage button on the left of the address bar. If the address bar is on the bottom, the homepage button is there also.

In addition - I prefer Kiwis bottom address bar than Chromes "Duet".
[Android Apps and Games] lukaaa477:
Yeah now it is home button down I reset settings

But, speed dial should also be down , possible to put it down?
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
I hava blank new/homepage without speed dial (that bug I have posted before).

I wonder if it is wrong url, so what is the address of new new/homepag with new editable speed dial?
[Android Apps and Games] SenseSei:
For me it "worked" after I used the reset button on the homepage. My bookmarks got added after that, but I think that feels a bit hacky?

There also should be a small + in the top right corner to add new ones
[Android Apps and Games] ajikangb:
Awesome browser with nice night mode.

Some things that could make it perfect:

-Immersive mode

-real fingerprint protection

-Https everywhere (like in brave)

-document/reading view

-To make it open source

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
For me it doesn't work.

What is your address/url for homepage?

For me it's: chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html

And when I enter chrome://newtab/ , I have old hompage, with old, not editable, history based speed dial, without + button.
[Android Apps and Games] SenseSei:
chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html

For new tabs, so the same

When I use reset only my bookmarks stay on the homepage, and the "news" are shown again but I just click that away again.
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
I reset Kiwis user data and now speed dial works.

I wonder what is the source of news on the homepage? It would be nice if that could be set. The best if RSS feeds would be supported.

I think it should be an option to enable / disable news. Because after tapping x, you can turn them on only by resetting the page.

Unfortunately, now I can not add startpage.com as a default search engine (previously I could).
[Android Apps and Games] lukaaa477:
How you handle blurred page with disable ads option? It is caused by coockie and privacy policy i need to accept, i need to turn on ads then accept and then turn off ads, if I just tap blurred page then it will come again after refresh page
[Android Apps and Games] SenseSei:
Ok another thing.. You can't rename the speed dials, I have multiple xda bookmarks and they all begin with "xda-develop..." and that makes it impossible to keep them apart. These are all of my suggestions I guess
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Yep, new ntp is broken. Or at least needs reverting for now.

I used to open a new tab and long-press on sites and open in new tab and repeat. Now I can do one before the rest are unopenable as they're now in 'edit' mode, wihch sucks.

Total loss of functionality here, and it's super annoying I'm switching back to Brave until this is fixed, sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
In the very next version (couple of days) you will be able to change the new tab page to the previous version if you prefer it.

For the long-press, there is need to make decision, it's a choice to make Edit on Long-press to be consistent with the Android Launcher.

I am totally aware of this limitation, that's why, it firsts open the contextual menu, and then you have to discard it.

In the early versions of the "New New Tab Page", there was an Edit button, to trigger on/off the Edit mode

What do you propose / did you have in mind ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
There's no reason long press needs to be the same as a launcher app, it's a completely different app with diff functions.

Old way was perfect for a browser,so revert to that.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
The source is Google directly but it will change to something more complex (Google+Reddit likely) once I have a bit more time on that.

About StartPage, this is the only search engine that is affected, I have spent long time with their developers to explain to them how the Chrome Search Engine system works (they have the same bug with Chrome) and made a proof-of-concept, so hopefully they are fixing it.

I agree about the news on/off separetely
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
I checked various search engines; almost all work well. In addition to Starpage, only Searx.me does not work at all.

After many unsuccessful attempts, I once managed to add Startpage, but I do not know how / what I did differently. To investigate this, I deleted the history and tried again, but without success :(

In Chrome, I added it once and it still works, just as it worked in Kiwi to this unfortunate moment when I deleted user data.

Thanks for asking the details. It's helpful, so when I come in the thread I don't need to wait and have immediately the info ;)

[MENTION=6393464]MiliWanili[/MENTION]: I caught the touch bug on Reddit, and the Show Simplified View as well.

I'm checking what I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Thank you very much, that touch bug is very annoying because I keep pressing the wrong link and need to go back page all the time when it happens.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

I can see the dev knows about touch bug already, it's when I touch the screen the touch is registered above my finger, it happens from time to time and reloading page fixes it for the moment. I'm using Oneplus One and Android 7.1.2

The simplified view massage is appearing on some websites no matter if it's on or off.

[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:

[Android Apps and Games] veekay:
Always visible. That is a must have feature for me. Really the only "main" feature I feel is lacking.

I love the steps made towards the quick launch menu - hopefully the ability to actually add the current page you are on the the screen will be coming (if it is there, I didn't see it - only the manual add).
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Can you make dark theme for kiwi instead of night mode or both?

And can you add the feature to disable websites that saves in website settings?

I dont want that, if i visit a website that is in website settings

And can you add default icognito?

And last questiion, how to add an other Search Engine?

Sorry for this much questiions & my english. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
+1 for Dark Theme
[Android Apps and Games] Avhill:
For your last question, this is a quote from the opening post :

"There are no search engines baked-in except Google (simply because it's the most popular) and you don't need me to add one.

If you want to add a search engine, just go on the search engine website, then the search engine will appear by itself in settings."

It works well with Qwant, but there might be some issues with some specific search engines if I remember correctly...

+ 1 for the default incognito mode, it is already present in Bromite and I would like to see it implemented in Kiwi too

I'll add another request which is relative to the night mode, would it be possible to theme :

- Bookmarks page,

- "Long press" menu (when you click on a link or a media, and it says "open in a new tab" / "open with an external app" / "copy link" ...),

- Settings page

To do what you did with the "three dots menu" (which goes black when you turn on night mode) ?
[Android Apps and Games] ToreSalvo:
kiwi close and recharge pages only switching between it and home of the launcher (i use zeam, the lightier)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Noted for incognito + night mode menus ;)

The only search engine that has the bug is Startpage (maybe Searx too) so working with them on a fix (they have the same issue on Chrome).

Hello there

As far as suggestions go, would it be to much work for you if these two elements switched places for better reachability on tall screens?

I feel we could get information on top and interactive portion on the bottom where it's easier to reach.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I've enabled the old homepage as per play store instructional note, and it worked for a while but today it's back to the new homepage aka awful edit mode as soon as you try to longpress to open in background tab multiple pages. Any idea why? Or if you could make the classic way default? I've.uninstalled and installed, reset, but the classic ntp now doesn't show, only the new one :/
[Android Apps and Games] qltsar:
Can somebody else confirm the following?

1. Start Kiwi with normal toolbar (top), go to any youtube video (or to any other sites that have buttons / links at the bottom of the page), scroll down to the bottom and open the comment section. -> working

2. Set the toolbar to the bottom from the Accessibility options, restart the browser, close / reload the youtube tab, or just go to a different video, try to open comments -> not working

3. Start with the normal (top) bar, go to chrome://flags, enable duplex, restart, go to any youtube video, try to open comments -> not working.

I tried the same with the newest Canary, however it's called now there as Duet, but even with th e bottom bar I was able to open any element which is located at the bottom of the screen.

Please note that the youtube videos I have used for testing, were played within the browser, not with an external application!

I think the browser is just simply not recognizing the touches behind the bottom toolbar. Try to longpress anywhere when you try 2-3, you will select random text which is located much higher than the virtual press-point is located.

So my theory with even duplex, Kiwi's bottom toolbar and the early versions of Duet the bottom bar just visually got hidden, but technically it's there when you want to use some page-elements behind it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
Great idea! Also, would it be possible to make it a material drawer and reachable by swiping from the right edge of the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] CraKenDK:
Suggestion for sync of bookmarks

You have already Import and Export of bookmarks. To still keep it totally private, have you then though of sync to the users own Google Drive, Dropbox, Box or whatever users are using?

My idea was to have an async job, importing from a file stored on eg. Google Drive when you open the kiwi browser.

When you close Kiwi you start the async exporting job and you also export when a new bookmark is created. Before you export, you have to verify that the file located on Google Drive is the same you have imported from, so you do not overwrite bookmarks created on another kiwi browser which are open at the same time.

Another solution or both together; could be to look at how Samsung Browser has done the sync to Chrome Browser by using an extension to import and export in the same way as described above.

Your extension could then just export and import to the same file located on eg. Google Drive.

Hope you can use it :)

Thanks for a fast browser...really like the bottom bar :D

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Actually after some thoughts: I really like this idea. I think I will try develop the sync part my self. If you think it's a good idea, you can just take it from github and use it :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is a known Bug that needs more refining. I've reported it on Discord and the Dev already knows about it.

Chrome Canary with "Chrome Duet" also exhibits the same behavior on sites like reddit. Check and see.

This browser has the best adblock right after firefox+ublock origin. (although kiwi is much faster) If it can clear data on exit it would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
I think the Adblock could be improved.

On Chrome+Ublock origin (on PC) I get way less ads. Also in kiwi there are a few sites which detect the Adblock (so the sites can't be accessed without deactivating it), these Problems don't occur on PC.

Maybe the Adblock lists from Ublock can be added in kiwi too?
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Or maybe generally add uBlock as an adblock?
