Thank you for the great work developer!

Just 1 thing which I find annoying is how do I enable the quick search function when I'm selecting multiple words?

I noticed the Tap To Search only works for a single word.

It works perfectly in Chrome though...

Thanks! =)

Hi fellas,

found a bug with vim.cx (secure pastebin). Works like a charm on Firefox and Chrome but not on Kiwi. See attached screenshots. First is Kiwi, second Chrome.

Edit: Just want to add that it makes no difference if extensions are installed or not, same for the internal adblocker, no change if on or off.

Support hobby project! It's not easy to develop a project at spare time. Better than before, thank u
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
You raise a very good point, actually. Does not seem to be a one-man hobby project anymore. According to OP :

It would be good to have some more detailed information about the business model for Kiwi moving forward. What European company is behind it now exactly ? What does sponsorship by search engines mean to end users ? This is all relevant, particularly as Kiwi is not a fully open source project and can't be audited.
[Android Apps and Games] x2k13:
OP should get in touch with the Vivaldi Browser developers. Kiwi code (extensions) would be a great addition to Vivaldi. I like Vivaldi because it jas a great startpage with speed dials, just missing extensions. I bet they could make a deal. ?
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
You would be happy to know that the dev is already in touch with the devs of Vivaldi. Infact, One of them is a member in the Discord Kiwi Group.
[Android Apps and Games] Zalext:
Is an open group?

Is which appears on FB?

I found this bug after using the scrolling up function (click on the ?️symbol). So a big spacing appeared on the top of any pages (see photos attached).
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
The hand is not for scrolling up. It's for one handed mode. It's supposed to bring down the page like this to make it easier to tap with one hand.

hello...i love this browser. i just have 2questions.

where does the integrate adblock get the blacklist? is it a huge or small list? you could use one of the energized team package list.... do u know them?

do u advice us to improve the adblock capacity using ublock origin, activating BOTH adblockers at same time or can it have problems and incompatibilities? so, better to use ublock and DEactiv the integrated one for a better stability?

and last.... i give u just an idea. put the options to CHANGE the hand icon on the botton bar....and REPLACE it with a share button. i think lots of people don t use hand button but would find more useful to have a share button......
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
Having 2 adblockers in use at the same time will create issues and just reduce the overall performance and turn the user experience for the worse. Its recommended to use either the built-in adblock list or an extension from Google Web Store.

The In-built adblock lists is downloaded from a secure Kiwi server.

(I recommend Nano Blocker, People say it's better than μBlock Origin on Kiwi)

No.2 It's a cool Idea! Thanks for sharing!

It's probably the best browser available for Android. But about the privacy? Does it send our browsing history or any personal information to Google?
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
Your privacy facts are not right try researching. Also if you're more privacy concerned then try bromite browser mentioned by op too (although it has its cons)

[MENTION=7665528]prathu30[/MENTION]: Thanks for the answer too :)

If you change the default search engine to something else than Google, then almost nothing will go to Google. Kiwi is basically a ungoogled Chromium.

In terms of history, to make it clear, the history doesn't go anywhere, the browsing history stays on your phone, and will never leave your phone. There are no good reasons for history to leave a phone ever.

Same policy as Firefox.

I won't talk about other browsers, but I think that Kiwi scores quite good :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I see DNS-over-HTTPS as a way to bypass censorship in certain countries (ex: Vietnam or Turkey or France) so the functionality is planned to come.

[Android Apps and Games] penfold:

Hello! First time user here and I'm loving the browser. I'm just having a small issue. I'm a frequent visitor to the OnePlus forums and on this browser it seems like the text boxes start to overlap on several other elements of the website. I've checked on a few other browsers and it doesn't seem to be the case on any other one.

Could you be willing to look into this?

[Android Apps and Games] Glavak:
Yeah, but on phone I'll still need to copy paste passwords from lastpass into browser, as far as I understand, because there is no integration with Kiwi
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I fixed it for the next version.

The bug is actually in the compositor (quite deep in the engine, the painting layers are generated in a 3D plane, and then the 3D layers are stitched together) and I solved it, so just have to wait.

I'm doing some other changes as well, so it's not worth releasing a new version just for that (because it pushes everyone to redownload 40 MB), but it shouldn't be in so much time ;)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Not yet, I'm waiting for feedback from Lastpass (their tech team is "investigating"), but 2 days ago, 1Password said they may be interested once there are enough users.

They whitelist browsers based on their choice.
[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
I personally use Nano Adblocker for it's companion Nano Defender, which claims to help hide the Adblocker. However, because extensions don't work in incognito, I have to use the built-in Kiwi Adblocker... I understand that the Dev doesn't plan to add extension support in incognito mode but I still would very much appreciate it if they did.
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
The dev will fix the bug. He is on a vacation now. After he returns, He will definitely release a maintenance build.

I have met a very strange problem, I cannot type in a webpage's textfield if the webpage is opened via favorites. But it runs well if I open the webpage via addressbar by typing the address of the webpage, or open the webpage in a new tab via favorites.

An easy way to solve this problem is to add an "open in new tab" button after each favorite item.

Thank you in advance.

- Somehow sync said bookmarks with some sort of extension? Between Kiwi browsers in different devices.

All Tabs reload when I switch to them

I am trying Kiwi on a Firestick unrooted with Android Nougat, and an attached usb keyboard and mouse. Brave works fine but I want extensions like Lastpass and Ublock origin. When using Kiwi every tab reloads when I switch to it. I only have 5 tabs open. This slows down my browsing and gets in the way. Brave doesn't do this. I've found no flags to help. Any suggestions?

2)tabs. up/down move in all tabs list,

multiple tab selection and move/bookmark them/close them, duplicate tab

2.1) !!! open link in background page (!)

3)bookmarks multiple selection. and move them in any existing/new folder.

3.1)--font scale in all tabs list, bookmarks list. coz

only few 2-3 words visible in vertical display orientation.

4)downloads clearing. by type/../.. selection, multiple selection and delete it. coz few month garbage slow down opening downloads page. or just full clearing this page

5)importing passwords, cookies...?

may be extention for crossbrowser sync and working for mobile chrome?

6)clearing browser offline downloaded pages folder? it was 6-7Gb folder, and android always show alert for clean aps, delete aps ... and not rooted device not give you access to go there in filemanagers.

[Android Apps and Games] x2k13:
This post explains it pretty well:

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/just-some-weird-domains-being-logged/931/5

TL;DR:

"Chrome tries to find out if someone is messing up with the DNS (i.e. wildcard DNS servers to catch all domains). Chrome does this by issuing DNS requests to randomly generated domain names."

And since Kiwi is a Chrome/Chromium based Browser this applies to Kiwi as well.

Hope this helps ;)

Hi,

On a different website ( Redi__ ), I've been in a discussion with a person about the kiwi browser, he said he's tried using it but much prefers the yandex browser instead, I checked it out and I know it's developed by russian individual's..and I'm surely NOT against russian people as a whole. But after checking out yandex for myself, I still prefer kiwi browser.

I thought this was Bitwarden but it's definitely Kiwi. If I copy a url from Kiwi then open Bitwarden and copy as password and go back to Kiwi to paste it into a password box it will paste the former url. I have to paste the password into Kiwi's address bar then copy it back to the clipboard and paste that in to the password field. Is this a known issue?

I'm very tempted to switch to Firefox now as Kiwi seems not to be getting updated despite messages to the contrary and FF has sync which Kiwi has been saying is coming for months if not years.
