Do you have any plan to bring back "Incognito Only" Mode from CAF Browser ?

This is the only feature I really miss from CAF and couldn't find in any other browsers.

It's really useful for opening random links from other apps and not having them automatically saved in my history.

Works ok but dont like auto hide address bar

No option to pin bookmarks to browser start page?

Are there any updates coming soon ?

Been a month now since the last release.

On a couple of web pages i have been on recently it won't let me scroll down.

Other than that im really enjoying it.

Good work !

EDIT: turns out the cookie policy thing hadn't popped up and it needs to be accepted before the page will let you view any more.

Found out by clicking a X at the top of the page with no writing near it.

Once i clicked it there was a popup saying i either need to accept or deny the cookie policy to either carry on reading or leave the site.

1 thing I would LOVE is for the new tab button ( + ) to be moved to the right side of the screen.

Next to the menu and tab buttons.

I find it a stretch way over on the left even with the bottom toolbar.

Looking forward to your next release :)

Oh and I read somewhere in this thread someone asking about password manager integration.

I am using bitwarden and it integrates perfectly with kiwi browser.

This is actually the main reason i switched from firefox to kiwi.

All the other cool features like youtube carrying on playing with the phone locked and the speed websites load are a HUGE bonus.

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

1 more thing :)

Can we please add our own sites to the new tab / home screen please.

I'll send you a donation soon, especially if the new tab button moves.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
If you read the posts in this thread you'll see the Dev says end of August.

You don't need to use the "+". Just long press the tab square/button and it will add a new one.

I hope you do.
[Android Apps and Games] sundilsan:
Months ago you promised a speeddial. I hope you did not forget it.
[Android Apps and Games] SirCanealot:
Hi arnaud42, (or anyone else that can help me with this query)

I've been using Kiwi Browser for a while now and loving it! The night mode works amazingly!

I have noticed that when YouTube videos are embedded into a web page it is impossible to press the 'add to watch later' button and I use this quite a bit.

Is there a setting in the browser that will enable this or is there something that could be worked on at some point?

Thanks so much for the browser! It has revolutionised my life :D
[Android Apps and Games] iamfarhanansari:
When a webpage is loading and we scroll down

As soon as page load complete it refreshes the page

And scrolls at the top

Please fix this issue

I'm sure this kind of post will motivate him...

(sigh)
[Android Apps and Games] sundilsan:
Motivate? It was his own announcement. I just take him at his word.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
I guess he (the one who quoted you, not the OP) was being sarcastic... His point is, when it's ready, the dev will release it eventually.. When he doesn't release it yet, then it is not ready yet. There's no need to "motivate" him with such post.

Considering how well the OP provides development and support, I don't think that you really need to post what you have posted because it can be perceived as rude / pushy by some (everyone has different limit of tolerance to that).
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Sorry I read through a lot of it but must of missed that post.

Holding the tab button to open a new one works great !!! life is now so much easier. :D thank you for educating me !

:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Adding extensions sounds cool, I look forward to that and hope it isn't driving you too crazy :)
[Android Apps and Games] sundilsan:
That's true. But that's not MY problem if someone else isn't tolerant enough. They have to accept other peoples opinions. As i do with theirs. We call this free speech.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:

A dev of a web browser left XDA a few days ago because of this kind of reasoning!

Yeah. This Dev was maintaining one the best browsers on XDA.

Please keep this in mind while posting.
[Android Apps and Games] ankushkushal:
I have some complaints regarding dark mode but i guess they are to others too. So Patiently waiting for the next update to see if they are being done like you always do or point you to the direction. Kudos from The KIWI Lover ?
[Android Apps and Games] chopoLet:
Be very careful on what you are posting in this forum, this project is FREE and opensource. Do not pressure nor ask the devs for ETA bcoz you are NOT paying him to do the task. Simple as that. Comprendè!?
[Android Apps and Games] :
+1 this too. It's FOSS and let's face it. Not everyone has the resources or time to create a browser such as Kiwi. And Chromium based browsers take alot of time and resources to build. We must Thank [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] for his dedication and time he put on this browser. Capiche?
[Android Apps and Games] sundilsan:
You made me laugh. :) But please grow up. He has promised and I just want to see if he is a man who keeps his promises. Simple as that.

And now, no more off-topic, please. This is not the right place for your anger. Keep calm as i do. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
You''re the one who need to grow up. I tried to do a quick search for the dev's post with "speed dial" in it. There's nowhere in this forum he PROMISED it. All he said is he PLANS and PRIORITIZES it which is different thing than a promise. Plans and priorities are subject to change in software development. Even IF (big IF) he promises, it's up to him to do it or cancel it. This browser is his project and he has every right to do (or not to do) anything. And if you have problem with dev who couldn't keep his promise (although in this case he didn't promise anything), you're free to use other browser. I am pretty sure most user here would be happy if you're go away from this thread. It's a good riddance.

And btw, I have a very good explanation why everyone couldn't keep calm like you did : it's because you're acting like an a**h***.
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
It's enough now. You can continue your dispute with private messages. Better for everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hello everyone,

First, somehow thanks for the argument, this shows that you support the project and really into it :highfive: but please don't get angry against others for a browser :D :D

Life is precious and I am sure nobody wants to waste their time.

I feel fine and totally not offended when people ask for updates. While I didn't sign with my blood, it's true that users have right to expect the speed dial, feature X, feature Y, or feature Z.

I've heard all of you and take all opinions into consideration, weighs them, sort them, and try to execute as much as I can in the limited time that I have.

Now technically, as you can see from the previous post, I wish I would move faster. Unless I make some magic, we will have to wait.

Let's stay factual, the browser still needs lot of work, and that's the most important.

I will not have enough time to deal with moderating this thread + code so I count on all of you to keep this thread a welcoming place for everyone :)

I don't know if this is possible but I would love it if there was a way to open articles in Simplified view by default.
[Android Apps and Games] Saswata Chakraborty:
The only browser that removes dead/grey space after blocking an ad. See the screenshot of a same page on Chrome VS Kiwi browser. I tried the same page on Firefox, UC, Brave, Yandex, Samsung browser. All of them removed ad, but left dead/grey space which is kinda annoying. It was only Kiwi browser that removed every trace of ads from the webpage. Moreover, its pretty fast (not the fastest though) and uses less memory than Chrome/Firefox and some other browsers.

I just hope it doesn't take access of my Facebook account like what Puffin browser did the last time.
[Android Apps and Games] :
It sure uses lesser memory than other browsers. I feel that this is the fastest out of all the browsers I tried.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I can't get the 'open in app not webpage' thing working on 15.1 lineage, despite enabling it youtube always opens at m.youtube.com in kiwi

Nice browser don't know this is a bug or just me sometimes on YouTube you can't open comment section you have refresh the page.
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
I came across a bunch of websites that don't work.

Mainly using Mobilisim app.

Clicking download links for most apps on there doesn't result in downloading.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Got it, suprafiles.org has the issue, I am checking all of these sites one by one.

It's an anti-popup blocker protection.

What they do is the following:

- Create a download button

- First click: open the ad

- Second click: redirect to the download page

This is why the download button doesn't work (because the ad doesn't open, so it stays stuck at the first stage).

It's... tricky to solve but not impossible :)

I need a bit of time to find a solution (few days).
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
You are the best arnaud <3
[Android Apps and Games] SynthBpm:
I've run into two things so far, one is the issue with Kinja based sites (like Kotaku) mentioned earlier in the thread, the other is an issue with Vox run sites (like The Verge and Polygon) where the bar at the top with the site's logo and the links to specific sections of the site (like longform or reviews) is blocked from loading by the adblock.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Both issues will be fixed in the new version coming this week.
[Android Apps and Games] AgustinH:
seems very nice! I'll try it later on my LeEco
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Do you still have the issue ? I am trying to reproduce it and I suspect that this is a bug with YouTube itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Henki98:
I love your browser is faster and more stable than any browser I've tried, the only flaw I found is that Facebook from the browser cuts the search bar and often also the cover image of the profiles. Another small mistake that perhaps is just my problem is that I can not make external downloads to the browser
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
You mean you cannot download to the SD Card or that in general downloads cannot be sent from an external application to Kiwi ?

About Facebook, this is because I am trying to bypass their "Please install Messenger" message, so the browser pretends to be a Windows computer, hopefully I should figure out how to solve that.

Thanks for the nice words about speed :)
[Android Apps and Games] Henki98:
I say that downloads cannot be sent to external applications.

Instead on Facebook sometimes I can see the chats instead of the message "please install Facebook" But in any case then redirect to Messenger.

With chrome or other chromium project the latest versions have lag when I closed the pages, certainly because my smartphone is a bit old, but with this browser does not happen, so thank you very much :D
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Got it! :)

About Facebook I am still trying to bypass their promotion and will take a look again.

Happy to hear there are no lags. I'm using a Huawei device during testing, and everything lags there.

Once it runs on Huawei flawlessly then I know it's ready to ship :D
[Android Apps and Games] Firicel69:
I found your browser here a couple of days ago. Goodbye chrome!

I am very happy with it, but yes, it lags sometimes on my device during scrolls on webpages.

I am using a huawei p10. Other than that, it's fantastic. I like the interface and general behaviour. Only if lags would be gone...
[Android Apps and Games] punalex:
can u add these features?

1) the xBrowserSync service? this is a new and very good bookmark sync service and this is open source

2) allow to config different user agent for different site

3) pie control
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I have to agree, sync is absolutely a must have feature, we visit a ton of sites,

I use a desktop/a laptop and two mobile devices,

there's no way I'm spending days in order to setup a new browser again
[Android Apps and Games] arnabghorui:
I have noticed a problem. I have disabled autoplaying videos but it doesn't work on facebook. I haven't tried on other sites.
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
Well, it still seems like you did want to become *the* guy using a rare browser, since you added "Kiwi" to the user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.1.0; ONEPLUS A5010 Build/OPM4.171019.016.B1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Kiwi Chrome/68.0.3438.0 Mobile Safari/537.36

I would appreciate if you removed "Kiwi" and my phone maker/model/build (like Bromite). Using a Canary build makes it quite unique already ?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Understood. I have vastly underestimated how much people need sync and now this is pushed near the top of my pile of things to do ;)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
1) Thanks a lot for sharing, I have looked into it, and I like two things about it:

- Client encryption

- Possible self-hosting

I am digging more into it.

2) The very next release is spoofing its UA on a specific website but it's not configurable, it's to circumvent an annoying and arbitrary restriction.

Be able to switch as in "User Agent Switcher", could be interesting, but I am wondering whether I should do it now, or rather spend the time to add support for extensions to let people do what they want.

3) Noted. The next UI change coming will be the (optional) bottom bar, then it'll be the time to discuss further around gesture or alternative controls (eg. pie).
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Also what do you think about adding another Reading Mode like the one from Yandex Browser or Samsung Internet? The build in from Google is not the best one.

Am great fan of brave browser after using all the browsers like Chrome firefox puffin ucweb dolphin opera samsung internet etc etc..

But after using kiwi browser i jus left brave and made kiwi as my default browser.

Reason-Better than all above in ad-blocking and major diff is that it won't creat grey space while blocking ads.

My request-if there's any possibility to remove news section it wil look more clean and perfect

Dear Dev Thanks a Million for this kiwi browser and i hope this wil be under continuous development and upgrades.

Loving this browser. It's exactly what I needed.

I've got a comment about my favorite feature, the bottom address/navigation bar.

Does anyone notice that this can be buggy at times? Like if you type into the address bar and navigate to another page, it will get stuck for a couple of seconds and not reset back to the bottom of the UI, like it's just floating. It's makes it seem like a very noticeable lag, which stands out against the other snappy peformance of the browser.

Start page is just to slow and missing too many features.
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
If you have tried Startpage for privacy reasons then you may be interested by Qwant (this search engine has many features too).

Startpage uses proxies so it's obviously slower but I like it very much to reduce tracking while keeping good results.

Im guessing its somin to do with your setup and i suggest a complete data clear and reinstall but as you say you will lose bookmarks and passwords.
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
if you are rooted you can do a backup of your bookmarks grabbing it from data/data/com.kiwibrowser.browser/app_chrome/Default/Bookmarks. replace it after deleting data of kiwi app to recover your bookmarks. maybe it is working with passwords and the file "Login Data" but i never have tried it.
