[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Good day everyone,

First, about the (f).txt, a fix is coming, there is a workaround, is to change the search engine to any other hardcoded option (like Google) but a fix is expected in few days otherwise ;)

If you do so, then you don't access to bangs, but I'll figure out a fix.

Version Impala (September 12, 2019)

Kiwi releases are back! We're almost half a million active users.

This version includes fixes (Google Translate language detection, images on the new tab page) and minor changes.

Added support for bangs (shortcuts in the address bar starting with !) in 'US', 'CA', 'GB', 'UK', 'FR', 'DE', 'ES', 'IT', 'IN', 'BR'.

Type !bangs in your address bar to learn more about it (only if you use "Default search" in Settings).

Added support for X64.

Better support for foldable phones.

Have a great time,

:highfive:

The project is growing but there is so many things to do and fixes and ideas :) if you are interested to contribute, feel free to reach out on Discord, as I'd like to conduct some experiment to onboard contributors to work with the code of Kiwi ;) (yep)

Big thanks to Eduard (d3ward on Discord) for his help and to the XDA team.

Keep sharing Kiwi with your friends and stay the best!

Sync is still in the works ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Soumy1234:
Is the bangs feature actually working, though? I don't know about others but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I've switched to the default browser in settings and restarted the app, then typed '!bangs' with no quotes in the bottom search bar but it just searches it on Bing. Am I doing this right or will there be another update for this?
[Android Apps and Games] rohan164:

Awesome thanks for the update!

And it's great to hear sync is still being worked on, i actually came to this thread because I had an idea to make a simple kiwi sync extension that serves as an bookmark sync that you could install on all devices running chrome. However official bookmark sync sounds even better. :fingers-crossed:

Can we get an option to replace the "home" button with a "new tab" button instead? I never use the home button... But I am opening new tabs constantly. That would be much easier, saving a ton of clicks (and time)

When you open the tabs, the new tab button is there on the left, in the exact same spot the home button is when browsing. I'd just prefer if the new tab button were always there on the left instead of the home button.

Also, is there any way to manually re-arrange the tab order on the tab page?

Thanks for creating a great browser app!

Just making the switch from years of slow ass, cumbersome, memory hogging Firefox and this thing is crazy fast compared to that.
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
I guess you know long pressing the tab button opens new tab.
[Android Apps and Games] airmcnair06:
I did not! Just tried it... Wow! That's so dope! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
[MENTION=836528]airmcnair06[/MENTION] In addition if you long press over the home icon you can remove it, it can be enabled again in settings/home page
[Android Apps and Games] Strider77:
Please include an option for always using desktop mode for all the websites. I tried some user agent extensions from chrome webstore but none of them work properly and still launch some websites in mobile format.
[Android Apps and Games] airmcnair06:
Yea i did check that option to remove it. That's what got me thinking "hmm...wish I had an option to make it a new tab button instead"

I didn't realize you could remove it by holding it though. I need to go through a tutorial or something so I don't miss out on all these dope features. This is one of the best browsers I've ever used on a phone... And it's been less than 24 hours since I've had it installed.

And the fact I can get a quick response/support/feature suggestions in this awesome community makes it even better.
[Android Apps and Games] Racle90:
Latest kiwi doesn't fix this.

This happens when using default search. If I change search to Google manually, it seems to be working just fine.

Android 10

Kiwi Browser Chromium 77

Non root

Pixel 3a XL

I have clipboard issues. When I copy a link from one app and try to paste it into a text field, it will only paste what I copied within the browser. Not text I copy between apps.

This issue does not apply to the omnibar for some reason. I have tried a different browser and the issue is unique to Kiwi. Did not have the problem until the recent update.

Update: Nvm!!! I reset my flags and it's fixed

[Android Apps and Games] alessio89g:
I tried it, but the searchbar doesn't work after type the query and then press Enter key on keyboard.

Moreover, all the quick links buttons are unresponsive…

I'm on latest Google Play version; is it only for me?
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
No, Most of the features are under development. Hence why it is hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I have to redact this comment. The issue is still there. I think Kiwi Browser has a problem with the new clipboard permissions in Android 10. Can you please fix this, arnaud? The only way to get past this issue is to restart the browser. At some point it will not paste content from other apps. All of my permissions are on.

I have been using Kiwi for 2 hours now to isolate the problem and it's still not happened. It appears to happen after I switch between multiple apps so it's most likely an Android 10 bug. But, either way, can you look over the new clipboard permissions?

1. Go to YouTube and watch a video or listen to a Spotify song. Click the Share button. Then click "Copy link"

2. Go back to Kiwi Browser. Inside a browser page, paste into any text or form field.

It pastes the copied link or text properly into the omnibar, but not websites. I re-enabled "Ask to read clipboard" under Site Settings.

So far so good. I will test further to find out what exactly is causing this.
[Android Apps and Games] Xplorer4x4:
The OP says chrome sync is disabled(due to third party restrictions) but is that still true? I thought that was changed about the time extensions were added. In either case keep up the great work. I've used kiwi for at least a year now. I try the other browsers from time to time but they just don't match up to kiwi!
[Android Apps and Games] teostar:
Since the last round of updates I'm noticing odd behaviors in kiwi. 1) sites like screen rants that have articles that you have to swipe to go to the next page in the article, te swiping does not work.

2) Also some sites that block activity (e.g. downloading links ) while an ad blocker is running still show ad blocking even after unchecking the hide annoying ads option.

A minor bug which I'm sure has been for a long time. If I add a bookmark then export bookmarks, the bookmark I just added will not be in exported list. I have to export bookmarks about 4 times before it copies correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yes, it's here since the beginning I guess.

Do you know +/- how many bookmarks you have ?
[Android Apps and Games] djcsurf:

Hi everyone,

A new version of Kiwi is available :highfive:

Version Lena / Mirror (September 28, 2019)

This version contains new speed optimizations and fixes minor issues.

The support of shortcuts (special keywords with the exclamation mark symbol) is now extended to all countries and to all search engines. Type: !bangs in the address bar to learn more.

- Fix: Reverse image search and certain cases where the browser was showing "(f).txt".

- Fix: Keyboard buttons (example: on Android TV, or hardware arrow buttons).

- Updated interface when you have > 100 tabs open.

Translations updated in 10+ languages.

- (New) This version improves stability on Adreno GPUs (Galaxy S8/S9+)

[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
[MENTION=3297971]sniktaw[/MENTION]

access to context menu hasn't been coded yet so some extensions won't work, it's a low priority afaik, you could try this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-by-image/cnojnbdhbhnkbcieeekonklommdnndci

[MENTION=9927447]GallusAnonimus[/MENTION]

you could try to disable autoplay, go to settings/site settings/media/autoplay

It works for me with youtube, there are other sites that automatically play videos, I haven't tested them

Storage-User Data Question

I have Kiwi's settings to clear all cached data for all time & I clear the cache before closing Kiwi (where did the option go to clear on exit?) So then why does the app's storage - User Data continue to grow after each browsing session by many many MB's & never reduces? I would think that bookmarks & custom settings are in there but take only a few KBs when imported & thst user browsing cache should be cleared when done manually, yet the storage/user data keeps growing & growing .... and I dont want it to, as per settings & dont need it to for maybe minor reloading speed gains & I'm not saving any web pages to read offline. So can the storage/user data be controlled to be emptied without losing bookmarks & custom user settings?

I have an old low end device but it hums along with manual control & I cant afford limitless internal storage / a new device. I hate bloat as well & chrome to me is almost bloatware. Via browser is tiny in comparison doing almost the same job as kiwi. But its user data also balloons with browsing & does not empty with cache deletion. Cant yet find info on why witb a web search.

Also can you add an option to export/import custom user settings, so at least one can recover more quickly after deleting user data bloat from storage? And put back the option to clean out ALL stored data or caches on exit as chosen in custom cache settings?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

:highfive:

There is a new release of Kiwi available:

Version Quadea (October 07, 2019)

This version improves stability and add 2 new functionalities, in Main Menu, Settings, Accessibility:

- Always Desktop.

Useful if you are a tablet user, and you prefer Desktop version of websites.

- Toolbar always on screen

If you have a large screen, and want to keep the address bar always handy without having to scroll.

The toolbar is always on by default if you have Accessibility services. You can change that using this option.

These two features are actually features that were requested by users ;)

There is a technical issue with XDA labs, so in the meantime you can download it here:

https://github.com/kiwibrowser/android/releases/tag/20191007

Enjoy, and keep sharing Kiwi!

hey guys and gals, using kiwi on oreo 8.1/stylo 4+ and it seems the pages are loading very slow. Is there a setting to speed up page loads? I am on wifi 1000mbD/500mbu so not a speed issue! I know that is not WiFi speed lol

Just a side note, it is a bonded with pfsense connection with 5 biz class xfinity. But everything else runs fine, 5 other phones using chrome mainly and PC's & Laptops using chrome or chromium

[Android Apps and Games] Bradford1040:
Thanx, but also is there an option to use the non cached pages, pretty sure there was something like that in kiwi??? I don't remember what it is called or if it was even in kiwi lol

[Android Apps and Games] ToreSalvo:
Hi, i'm back with another suggest for you, about night mode.

You absolutely have to make possibile to mantain a very dark grey (not black) in the background, with a very bright grey (not full white) for the font.

Now you can obtain a totally black background (RIP eyes on IPS) with a totally white font (RIP eyes on all displays) or at least a washed grey with a slightly brighter font (RIP eyes).

Sadly, play with contrast cursor isn't helpful, please fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
ok, I've noted about the contrast ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ToreSalvo:
Very fast ?

Also amber or sepia night mode will be great but contrast fix is sufficient and most important ;)
