Ungoogled Chromium has a build that supports extensions.

I managed to install extensions by going to Web Store in desktop mode and the extensions were working. But I still prefer Kiwi. I need horizontal tab switcher, bottom bar and long press to make a new tab. :/
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
Thanks that's amazing :)

The extension functionality isn't that good as in kiwi but overall a very fast and nice browser
[Android Apps and Games] teostar:
Exactly that's all I need in a new browser. I've been waiting on bromide, brave or one of the other chromium based browsers to add these features.
[Android Apps and Games] GallusAnonimus:
Link please?

https://uc.droidware.info/extension.html

Once installed you need to go into chrome://flags and search for "MIMO Extensions" and set it to "Prompt to install" or whatever it's called. There is no link to the extensions yet but you can find them under chrome://extensions. If the Chrome webstore doesn't work, google it in desktop mode. There are many bugs but it's working and I expect it to improve only from here. From my testing, extensions don't seem to be working as well yet.

I was looking for an updated Chromium browser with extensions that supports safebrowsing and password checkup APIs but no luck.

Folks; just to be sure: Last version is Quaeda (dating back to Juli 2019)? Or did I miss something all along the lines?
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Yes Quaeda though Play Store says it was last updated October 2019.

If you install please enable the following Chrome flags for critical security:

1. Enable: chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process

2. Enable: chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture

3. Enable: chrome://flags/#enable-top-document-isolation

These are the 3 features that have been fully implemented into Chrome 85 since then. They strictly sandbox every tab you use and protect malware from getting information from another tab. They also protect against any future side channel attacks. Chrome 85 still hasn't enabled 64 bit while Kiwi had it for more than a year... Google is ridiculous.

New auto build on github: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src/releases/tag/239776008

Release 239776008

This release was automatically generated from GitHub refs/heads/master in run ID 239776008 and is signed using a random development key (upgrades / updates are not possible).

I'm trying now and will check if it's new base. EDIT: Same old kiwi.

It's a shame that Kiwi has been abandoned. So I stumbled on Soul Browser and it's been excellent so far. Extremely fast and lite. Unfortunately it doesn't have extensions but it's got virtually every function and customization you can think of. Digging into it's background it seems to be from a developer out of the UK so should be safe. It's on the Play Store but not open source unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] gg2001:
Thanks for the suggestion. Very nice browser, I'm trying it. Seems to be lightweight and fast, as you told. And it has a wonderful scrollbar. Maybe I can finally replace Opera mini 16 :) (not joking, that old app is a beast of a lightweight browser)
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Glad you like it. I'm still experimenting with it and can't find any flaws so far. I dumped Opera once they were sold.
[Android Apps and Games] Francescorm76:
For me kiwi browser is the best of the best!!!.... The extension working flawless and the speed is fantastic... In the gthub working in new releasea in this days... Excuse me for English..

[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Yes indeed scrolling is very smooth and consistently so. And remained that way after I capped the CPU clocks to test. Ought to result in better battery life. Newer versions of Opera Mini were either slow to load pages and/or peg the big cores at max. clocks all the time resulting in sub-par battery life. Older versions would very often fail to load many sites. So I had dumped it a few months ago. Primary reason for using it was it could hold dozens of tabs with low impact on RAM usage. Soul Browser will be my secondary browser from now onwards. There's no micro-stutter or is it jank? that is common with Kiwi. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Enjoy. I've been using it all day and it's been working very well. :good:

P.S. I added Goodbye Ads to the default host list also. The customization is incredible.

[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
You can't. The Play Store version is signed differently than the Github version. Unless you uninstall the Play Store version and reinstall this:

https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src/releases

Just wait until update is available. Remember, Chromium rebase means you will lose a lot of old flags and features such as horizontal tab switcher and bottom bar which I consider essential. Chrome 85 is more secure but Arnaud didn't want to update because he knows a lot of features have been removed and are impossible to re-add unless you fork Chromium for good which would require a lot of people to commit to maintaining it. His plan was to convince Samsung Internet to fork it and they have the staff and long-term funds to commit so he could rebase Kiwi off Samsung Internet. Samsung recently added a lot of code to prepare for true extension support so I think we're finally there. Chromium 85 is finally as smooth as Kiwi 77. It only took a year lol

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

What I did is install the Pocket app separately and use the share button. It works seamlessly and Kiwi sets Pocket as default even with an icon.

Update: I was wrong. I'm not sure if this is a rebase anymore. See screenshot. It's much faster and smoother than Chrome/Chromium 85. Horizontal tab switcher is in the flags and many other flags and features are preserved. It is also using the older Javascript engine. I think whoever is building this is making a hybrid of Kiwi 77 and Chromium 85 so far. Not a full rebase. I thought arnaud was trying to avoid this because it takes too much work but this is the best of both world for users. :good: :D

[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Don't get me wrong here because I'm a big fan of Kiwi. But the lack of updates has left a sour taste and though I've downloaded the updated version I've had to delete the old one to do so. Everything is gone and I'm starting completely from scratch. I really can't be bothered about do it any more. Besides that, the dark mode doesn't work properly on my Tab S6 and resets to light mode every time I reopen it.

I've moved on to Soul Browser permanently even though it doesn't have extensions and text wrapping yet. It's lighter, faster, great on the battery and renders perfectly on all my devices.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
In my case I was able to update the existing Kiwi installation successfully both yesterday and today's update. I did have a complete backup ready though.

There are a few minor issues with AMP and browser exiting when the last tab is closed and the homepage gets cut in half when clicking on the hand icon.

Some of the UI interactions are noticeably quicker than before and page loading speeds are better. Initially I had issues with some sites like XDA not loading but a cache cleanup fixed that. Extensions support is non-negotiable for me. Even if some other browser gains extensions support its UI should be as convenient as Kiwi for me to consider switching. UI of Samsung Browser and Soul Browser from my POV very nice. Hoping at least Samsung to bring about extensions support. Prior to Kiwi it was go-to browser. Soul Browser has replaced Opera Mini as the secondary. I still use Firefox Nightly occasionally and have Edge installed.

Dark mode doesn't reset in my Poco F1 running crDroid 6.9. I was hoping with the Chromium base upgrade Kiwi will gain the option to follow the System Theme. Alas that's not the case.
[Android Apps and Games] gg2001:
Maybe titanium backup could help with saving /restoring kiwi settings? (but then you need root)

In my case, I'm just not expecting anymore for the one perfect browser. That gave me some relax about the thing :)

Following that, I tried to be the most browser agnostic possible, but it turned out to be not so easy to accomplish.

I've finally came to use 3 browsers concurrently:

0-Firefox: to do sensible ops, like banking, and to sync with desktop FF

1-Samsung internet browser (but previously Kiwi): to render complex pages and, most importantly, playing Radiocut in background, for hours. I'm constantly playing Radiocut in background, and always have roughly a dozen Radiocut tabs paused in background. Kiwi was almost perfect for doing this in a very efficient way, not using cpu for all those paused Radiocut tabs in background. But in last months that changed, and Kiwi started to do cpu utilization in background (a steady 3% background cpu use for just having those Radiocut tabs opened but paused) and also higher cpu clocks while playing in background. So I found that recent versions of Sammy browser were more efficient for Radiocut playing (zero cpu usage for those paused Radiocut tabs, and lower cpu clocks while playing)

2-Soul browser (thanks to your recommendation, and previously Opera mini 16) This one as a secondary lightweight browser. To do searches and to read the journal (and so keeping a dozen tabs open while I read the news occasionally along the day). In this regard, Soul is showing as a great contender to opera mini 16, so much as to letting me finally uninstall opera. Replacing opera is not that easy, because as arm1987 points out, it lets you keep literally dozens of tabs open, with zero cpu utilization and almost no extra ram utilization. Also, its "extreme mode" (a lightweight server rendered pages with no JavaScript) (when it works..) gave me an almost unsurpassed smooth experience in my moto g3 (so much faster than a chromium based browser). But then this Soul browser, with JavaScript disabled, is almost as efficient as that old opera mini in extreme mode (I don't need JavaScript to read the news..html coders) ..And it lets you customize the menu button as to enable/disable JavaScript when long clicked. Marvellous. It's incredibly customizable.

So I'm currently using this 3 browsers, switching between them with Fliktu and storing bookmarks in Pocket. And maybe I came back to kiwi when it gets updated, I'd like to.

Sorry for the long (and little off kiwi topic) post but maybe it helps someone with old hardware. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] GallusAnonimus:
You were doing installation on Google Play or GitHub version?
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Huh? How are you guys leaving for some random browsers now that Kiwi is being updated? LOL. Soul, Cake or whatever browser don't hold up a candle. I have tried so many and I can't find something better than Kiwi. Period. The only browser remotely close to Kiwi is Firefox 80+ IF they expanded extension support and if Google's website didn't look ridiculous because it only supports WebKit which Firefox doesn't support.

Just wait until Kiwi is done. Zero trackers, peer-reviewed, open source, CAF, sandboxed tabs, background playback, YOU choose what content to block. Switching to another browser now is like giving up when you are almost at the finish line. What's the point...

Also Kiwi runs well on Android 11. Confirmed on my Pixel.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Its been a while so I am not a 100% sure. I don't think it was the Play Store version as I usually download from the Kiwi Telegram channel.

It couldn't be from Play Store as otherwise the signature wouldn't have matched I think.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Obsidian:
Arnaud is the definition of genius, getting best of both worlds, implementing chromium 85 while still remaining features of version 77,I hope the play store variant gets updated soon.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Lol... It's not a life commitment. What is anyone "giving up"? People can switch back anytime. Maybe Soul (which is fantastic) is giving people what they need until Kiwi is done the refurbishing. Then you know what happens? You open Kiwi and not the other one.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
The simple answer is updates. If you're ok with your browser being updated once a year then, by all means, go for it. Yeah it's open source and everything but it also requires manual updates since it's not on F-Droid or anywhere else that has automatic updates. It's still on my phone but until something changes drastically I won't be using it any time soon.

edit: yeeehaw :) ..i found it.. acessibility menu.. i am happy again :) dont know how i did overlook it when setting up..
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Because Soul browser is a noname browser with a Chinese website. This was obvious product placement. Use Brave, Firefox, Bromite, Ungoogled Chromium, anything with a reputation. A browser is something you entrust with highly secure information and you guys are acting like some noname browser is equivalent to one that has undergone a lot of scrutiny. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
1. That's Korean. haha

2. All browsers are no name until they aren't. I used Kiwi the first week it came out - there was no scrutiny at that point.

3. Use whatever you want. All I said was that "Soul", the example YOU used, was fantastic in my opinion for what I need. I DGAF what you use. But NOT using something else because you don't want to "give up" on Kiwi is laughable! But you keep the faith my friend. Browsers need more people like you. :)

My play store version is still the old one but I've downloaded it again anyway. It'll probably update tonight. Still using Soul Browser for now though.
[Android Apps and Games] gg2001:
Tried the new version, I've downloaded it through Aurora.

Many thanks to the dev, it's a great browser ?

Sadly, for playing Radiocut (my main use) it's not as efficient as Samsung browser. With a paused Radiocut tab, Kiwi keeps running in background, a steady 6% cpu use against 0.5 Sammy. And while playing it uses about 20% cpu against 10% Sammy. So I'll keep using Sammy browser, it's simply much more efficient for Radiocut playing, and I'll keep an eye on new kiwi versions to see if it improves in that area.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Based on chromium 77.0, ugh, a rebase would have been with the near-year wait for security patches, but maybe some are included. Oddly Aurora updated on Android 10 rom, but doesn't find the update on a Pixel 3 running 11.

Also, a fair few websites crash/'aw snap' even after wiping cache & force closing & rebooting
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Does anyone know which Github version it corresponds to? This might be one of the earlier versions?
[Android Apps and Games] gg2001:
Play store version says Git200910
[Android Apps and Games] Asiaboy89:
Since today's Play Store update I unfortunately noticed 2 problems with Kiwi on my smartphone (Honor 10).

1. As soon as I try to access the page www.dhl.de, I always get the error message "Oh no! Error when displaying this website." As soon as I click on Reload, a new error message "This page cannot be opened" appears.

Before the Kiwi update, the page worked 100% because I had the website open this week several times, so it must be somehow related to the update.

2. I have installed a total of 4 extensions (uBlock Origin, OPSWAT File Security, PDF Reader and Canvas Fingerprint Defender) For all extensions I have activated the option "Allow in incognito mode". If I click on each extension icon in the Kiwi main menu (the three dots), a new tab (normal tab) opens the respective settings menu of the extension. With uBlock Origin and Canvas Fingerprint Defender everything still fits as before the update. For the other two extensions the settings menu is tried to open in a new incognito tab but the page does not load and aborts with the following message "Requests to the server are blocked by an extension. Disable your extension. ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT." If I deactivate the option "Allow in incognito mode" for both extensions, everything goes back to how it was before today's update and the settings menu opens normally again for the two extensions.

Does anyone else have these problems since today's Kiwi update from the Play Store?
[Android Apps and Games] djcsurf:
I have 242418375 from GitHub and the DHL page works fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Asiaboy89:
Thats strange, even when I delete all cookies and disable all of my extensions, I cannot open the DHL page on Kiwi. But it works on my iPad with Google Chrome, too.

I haven’t installed any other OS updates and I‘m pretty sure, that the page worked before the Kiwi update, even yesterday evening :(

My Version is Git200910 from the official Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] djcsurf:
Maybe try GitHub version, but you'll have to install clean
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I had the same issues. I fixed them by cleaning Browsing history and Cached Images and Files for All Time. No need to clear Cookies or anything else so don't do it. Also force close and restart a few times and close all of the tabs. Finally enable Developer mode in Extensions and click on Update to force reload all extensions.
[Android Apps and Games] Asiaboy89:
To delete the cached images and files worked like a charm :)

Thank you very much!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I just checked. Same as the latest Github version so this is the latest build from earlier today. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] neonleon29:
I need some help. I found out Kiwi Browser has a new update by checking this forum. When I go to Google Playstore on my tablet, it doesn't show any update being available. It still shows the Quadea 2019 version being the latest. But when I use the link found in Post #4 of this thread, it takes me to the Google Playstore with the latest version of Kiwi Browser. And it shows the button to install the app instead of upgrade like the app isn't already installed on the tablet. Is there something I need to do to update the Playstore app so it shows the correct version for Kiwi or should I just reinstall it from the Google Playstore in Post #4 and hope it updates the current version I already have on my tablet. Thanks for any help.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
That's the same problem I'm having. The web Play Store version is the updated one whilst the Play Store app shows the 2019 one. Reading through the latest posts it also seems silly tweaks are needed to get it functioning as before. It's becoming a pain.
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
No problem :) All app updates are staged roll outs so that Google Play servers don't get overwhelmed. That's Google's fault. You can use Aurora Store to download right away. Or download Play Store signed version safely from here:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/geome...et/kiwi-browser-fast-quiet-git200910-release/

If pages don't load:

Clear browsing & Image cache. Don't clear cookies or Site settings or anything else.

Close all tabs individually. Swipe the app away/force close. Then reopen.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Thanks for the tips and I've installed it from APK Mirror. However (and you're not going to like this) it really does pale in comparison to Soul browser.

1) The captcha page for APK mirror still doesn't render at all even after following your instructions.

2) The total size is 224mb with the app being 118mb and a permanent 51mb of cache data. Soul is 114mb with an app size of 25mb.

3) Speed wise it's simply slower to load web pages than Soul.

4) Why do I have to jump through hoops every time I want to quickly browse?

I really, really want to use Kiwi as my default (instead of Samsung) but it's just not polished enough. The security extensions I use with it are covered in Soul browser by the fact that I can add my own host files (Energized Ultimate for me) to the adblock function. I'll keep it on my device so it's automatically updated (I hope) and check it once in a while, but for now it's a no go for me.
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
I tested Soul and it's unbelievably faster and customizable. But we shouldn't discuss alternatives here, is rude with the developer and considered off topic.
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
You make a good point but as fans of Kiwi we should let the developer know about the competition and why we're looking elsewhere. I hope this update is the beginning of many that will sort out Kiwi.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Judging by the app size, does Soul Browser use the standard web iew that's already on board?
[Android Apps and Games] gg2001:
AND it has 5 trackers according to Exodus. A beautiful secondary browser, but there's no free lunch
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
If have ads, have trackers. Just another beautiful day.
