Absolutely love this browser!

It would be nice if these features be added:

- Built in video player (like UC, old Samsung and Coc Coc)

- Menu option to add page to home page.

- Can edit page shortcuts from home page more easily.

Thanks dev alot for the great browser!

Not able to download through xda labs, it's returning an error, please check. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
What error do you see ?

EDIT: I see an error too.

Do you see the error on all apps ?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.FREE_Bird:
I think it's an issue with XDA Labs itself, there was a discussion about failing downloads on the XDA Labs thread.
[Android Apps and Games] abacate123:
(I erased some parts of the things that showed up since I don't know what these codes mean lol, could be something personal Idk)

Why don't you just release it through the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] cacio_confusa:
good to see that i'm not the only one unable to download it. you [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] could upload the apks to apkmirror.com for an "xda" exclusive 24h, if xda itself does not alow for such big files to attach it directly
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I wrote to XDA to let them know, I suspect the release/amount of downloads crashed XDA Labs.

[MENTION=6439974]abacate123[/MENTION]: I wanted to give XDA exclusive for one day in order to say thanks for their support ;)

This way people discover and get to know XDA. I think that's pretty fair.

Otherwise it's just one day, no worries ;)
[Android Apps and Games] abacate123:
That's fine, but I'd like to try it out... Maybe an apkmirror release then? I can't see why not.

So guys what extensions would you recommend? My main extension on PC is ublock origin but I feel it's not absolutely necessary since we already have a built-in adblocker.
[Android Apps and Games] rafaelcxda:
The Best browser made for Android. I've been Using it a long time Congratulations to the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] BeeWall:
Something great with this update: since there's extensions, you can now install Firebug Lite. It's not nearly as good as the PC developer tools, but better than nothing.

uBlock Origin, Dark Reader
[Android Apps and Games] :
I noticed that adblockers aren't really working tbh. Like i update ublock origin but it doesnt get rid of ads that pop up on youtube when on desktop its working fine. Its most likely a difference between the mobile and desktop version of chromium that needs a workaround.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

Ublock origin gives more blocking abilities but it doesnt work correctly on mobile from my testing. Install ublock origin and update all filters and goto youtube (mobile or desktop) you will still see ads and the built in adblocker i notice doesnt work either.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I'm checking it, I think one user (@d3ward) figured out that it is a bug with the cosmetic filtering ;) (will fix)

You could try violentmonkey
[Android Apps and Games] :
Mobile browsers are coded differently so the script may have not installed due to compatibility issues. tampermonkey was never designed for chromium browsers on android as google has locked extension functionality down until kiwi devs worked around it.
[Android Apps and Games] joakimbo:
Yeah, but we already got adblock and dark mode..
[Android Apps and Games] :
doesn't hide ad elements on sites like youtube.com
[Android Apps and Games] vipinaggar:
pls make addon window of ublock and aria2 or other addons open in pop up instead of tab and thanks for extension support.
[Android Apps and Games] pepo930:
Amazing browser, I've been using it for a month or two and the last update with the extensiona was the best thing ever. Only thing missing is Google Sync.

9.5/10
[Android Apps and Games] Tommytommy1234:
Google Sync is part of Google and this browser is based on Chromium which is Google free, i guess
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
I imagine you're going to have many people complaining about specific extensions not working now... Would you prefer that in the Discord channel or here?

For me I just want one... Any extension that will allow me to open a page with outline.com...

I've tried both "outline.com Reader" and "Send to outline.com" extensions and they don't work. They show up in the kiwi menu but the page doesn't send to there when I select either of them.
[Android Apps and Games] vipinaggar:

Thanks for the answer, but I see literally nothing there... I'm used to Crowdin since I translate other projects too, and there should be the languages and its strings, but there's nothing. Or am I blind?
[Android Apps and Games] KiraYahiroz:
Just wanted to say thanks for the latest update, extension support so far seems to be working well for the ones I've quickly tested (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, Nano Defender, Bitwarden, xBrowserSync). I noticed the default built in adblocker conflicting with uBlock Origin so I disabled that, and it's working pretty well now.
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
Is there a way to disable built-in adblocker to only use ublock origin ??

Also Lastpass addon work but you cannot manage it because when you click on it after the login it gives you a blank page (Just reporting :) )

And to the last, i've read that there's a workaround for chrome sync is that true ? Out yet or it's just "not ready" ?
[Android Apps and Games] Arctic Prodigy:
I don't know if anybody noticed, but for the longest time I have used the theme for XDA - 2013 Beta 1024 because it has a nice format on my mobile and computer browser, the default browser is 2015, but ever since I have used kiwi browser it has broken the theme, every time I browse from page to page it now resets to the default theme of 2015 rather than stay on the 2013 theme I keep choosing, this may be something chrome did along time ago or maybe kiwi?

If that could be fixed it would do good.... I am also aware I could have an app on my mobile that could have screwed this up to but don't know.

You can change theme on very far bottom of this page on left bottom corner if you didn't know.

[Android Apps and Games] hbls00190:
I *so* want to use this browser, but the one thing I hate in all chrome android browsers is the font "auto-sizing". Opera thankfully removed/disabled that but no other chromium based mobile browser does, as far as I can see. I've checked the Kiwi settings and can't find a way to disable it. Does anyone know if it can, or if it is on the list of future improvements in Kiwi..?

Thanks to support for extensions I can finally disable images by setting to zero "Block Media Elements larger than" in ublock Origin. Of course Firefox already had the ability to natively block images.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

By auto-sizing do you mean like how the quoted posts on Xda are are of a larger/chosen font size than the actual posts? Increasing the font scaling doesn't do anything for the posts other than quoted ones. Samsung Internet browser is very good in this regard. Firefox unfortunately only follows the system font size.
[Android Apps and Games] hbls00190:
Yeah, I absolutely hate how the font sizes are so different within the same page and so wildly different to what it is on desktop. And the algorithm always seems to get the important stuff wrong and smaller and I'm constantly having to zoom in and out - Opera just has the same font size everywhere and it's a dream. I tried Samsung browser a while ago but dropped it as I just couldn't gel with it - I might try again, but I'd prefer something like Kiwi which has less wasteful value-add services and privacy questions.

Though, tbh, I'm probably holding out for a mobile vivaldi browser - if it's half as good as the desktop then I'm all in!
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I am still using the 7.4 version of Samsung browser for reading articles mainly. The newer versions aren't to my liking. Unlike desktop, on Android there doesn't seem to be any one browser that can do it all. Kiwi is so close though. Now I can have Blockada active plus any VPN in the browser to name just one example. I really hope this auto-sizing mess can be remedied.

[Android Apps and Games] ale82to:
here s my experience using kiwi :

I was super excited when I read that kiwi finally supports Chrome extension,however to be honest I ve never used Chrome in my life and I did not know how terrible the ui was.

coming from both Firefox an yandex (the only two browser that supports extensions) I got used to tap on the url bar to both trigger search and have ntp(new tap page with top sites) in the background, in kiwi all i got is search.

also unlike yandex opening a new tab won't automatically bring up keyboard.

what really made me Uninstall kiwi is the fack the night mode overwrite my stylus(extension) black amoled, css to more washed out colors.(I do want night mode for the ui and black background when loading url from home or in new tab).

the ui of kiwi seemed also slower than yandex and was not reliable to automate using Tasker (adb shell input touchscreen tap x, y)
[Android Apps and Games] MDV106:

[Android Apps and Games] BeeWall:
Firebug or extensions? Both work for me. Or at least it worked after I restarted the browser (or rather after the browser crashed the first time I clicked it, but it works now). However, it is pretty slow to start, and very limited (it doesn't even have HTML editing capabilities, only viewing, although it does have a functional JS console so you can use JS to edit).

[Android Apps and Games] Rhaegal46:
Hi. I can't understand why I can't see the lastest version of this app in Google play store with my s9+ (I can only see the one updated in March). I tried to do the same with a nokia 7 plus and I can see and download the version of kiwi updated in April with no issues. So, I do not think it's a problem of Google play store... Is it a problem of Samsung?

I know I can download the updated app on github but still.

EDIT: Now Google play store shows the app updated (April) even on my S9+. Nice, thanks!

Why are there still news in the classic new tab page when homepage is changed to chrome://newtab? Also when exit browser if no tabs are open is enabled, when the browser is exited, and reopened, the ugly editable homepage loads up.

This browser was already the fastest and smoothest in world, and now with the option to use addons also: outstanding!

But I also have a question to other users regarding uBlock vs the build-in adblocker. Personally I think the build-in blocker still works better to my surprise, blocks equal but load pages faster than uBlock. What is your opinion?

The most wanted addon-funtion otherwise I have missed (when I switched from Firefox) has been to auto-load pages forward when I scroll down on a long tread on various forums (like xda forum), now I found AutoPagerize who works excellent on Kiwi.

I also found that Violentmonkey works better than other competitors, when I wanted to add various userscripts.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
It's how Android deals with downloaded files.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=906638

There is the same issue with all Chromium-based browsers (and I assume Gecko/Firefox variants too).

It's a bit sad, I don't know any workaround so far, but it doesn't seem to berelated to the browser directly :( (I have tried different workarounds, but Android seems to keep track of all files created by the app)
