Great. Thanks a lot. Will re-install in a bit.

I've been using Kiwi for a good couple of months and it is definitely one the fastest and snappy browsers I've ever used. This is the first time that I have actually encountered a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Muljeb:
I followed your instructions step by step and it did not worked. Just lost all my bookmarks :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
do you still have the bookmarks file? open it with a text editor and check if you can see some of your bookmarks in it. remember to set the permissions to that file again (same as the other files in that folder). finally try to terminate kiwi browser completely and restart kiwi. since i am using chrome variants like tuga or kiwi this method never fails on my side.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I just found a minor bug.

When you open the 3dot menu in the app, the numbers of ads and trackers blocked ways resets whenever I open the app after closing it.
[Android Apps and Games] joakimbo:
Crossing fingers for an update now. I'm on the edge of switching back to Chrome because of minor bugs that's annoying in daily use..
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
It might be more helpful if you didn't just complain, but also describe what the bug is...
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Mines working sweet apart from the address bar getting stuck in the middle of the screen.

Yes a little update to fix that small bug and maybe 1 or 2 others would be nice but remember there is only 1 man working on this "free" software.

He has probably fixed these issues already but is fixing others we don't even know about.

People on different versions of android probably have different issues to each other and even people on the same version are probably on different variants like emui, touchwiz, sense etc.

There will be an update soon I'm sure, it may be a bit later than originally planned, but to me that is understandable, and personally I am willing to put up with the little bugs and wait.

If anyone is not willing to put up with these bugs then just go back to chrome or whatever browser you was using before and maybe check out kiwi again when theres been an update.

Posting threats about going back to your old browser is a waste of everyone's time, a bit like this rubbish i just wrote.
[Android Apps and Games] Muljeb:
Ohh man, I didn't even thought about checking the bookmarks file! What a dummy am I! Haha!

So yes, I checked the file and the bookmarks were there but I didn't quite understand when you said "remember to set the permissions to that file again (same as the other files in that folder).", so what I did was copy the text from my bookmarks file into the bookmarks file of the new reinstalled browser and Voilá!

Thanks a lot man! You saved me lots of important info! ??
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
still loving kiwi :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
I'm already looking forward to the new version :victory::victory::victory::D
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
As explained by OP a few weeks ago I think Bromite is a better browser if privacy is more important. I have both on my device and the results of Bromite on browserleaks website are way better.

Seems to be hard to have all in one :)
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Until kiwi lets you install extensions which is being worked on i think.

Then kiwi will be all conquering !
[Android Apps and Games] BrianYu:
Is there an option to enable animations to the level of Brave or Chrome? The quick animations are quite jarring.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
jarring?
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
No promise has been made. We don't know if it will work.

Anyway Bromite has also enabled WebRTC in v69.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
The latest bromite version also got some nice animations but it's kind of super slow compared to kiwi browser.

I don't really know why you guys need add-ons support? Even on Yandex browser it's kind limited and not that great.
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
You're right adblock works as it should so there's no need for any add-on
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
It would be nice to have a new update to match latest sources.
[Android Apps and Games] Superuser4k:
I whas very possitive at first. But after the many reCaptcha puzzles I had to solve over and over again I switched back to Crome stable.

Nevertheless I admire your effort and skills. Perhaps I'll give it another chance in the near future.

[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
sounds like you commented in the wrong forum or the information you wanted to provide is missing. it's not a puzzle app, it's a proper chrome variant.
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
You guys do realise there are other add-ons apart from ad blockers.

Just to name a few i would like to use with kiwi

CanvasBlocker

HTTPS Everywhere

Decentraleyes
[Android Apps and Games] OSheden:
Exactly and uBlock Origin which may help to block WebRTC leaks (and many other things).
[Android Apps and Games] FaeRhan:
I have a problem with the suggested articles on new tab page: They are in the right language (de german) but for the wrong country (de-AT austria instead of de-DE germany). Is there a location bug for these articles in Kiwi? I already tried giving Kiwi location permissions and I can't find any country settings for news, just the general language settings which are set to de-DE, de, en-US, en. In Chrome everything works as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I've tried those all with Yandex Browser compared to Firefox Nightly and checked the bromite migration page. On yandex it has no effect while on Firefox nothing was found ?!

Just uBlock does it job.
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
i really have no clue, but my initial thought was if there is a vpn client running on your device? if it is not the case maybe there is a related flag for your issue... you have to paste "chrome://flags" in your kiwi address field and what i did was searching for the word "language". hoping you will find a solution!
[Android Apps and Games] :
I found a new bug. Touch to search a feature i use is sometimes unusable due to bottom toolbar.

Check screenshot -

The touch to search bar is hidden behind the omnibox/address bar rendering it useless.
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:
hi, sorry if this was answered. when I click a app link in browser to an app in the play store, it opens in browser, can I get that to open play store app instead? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Yes you can
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
I see the settings, but it rarely works.
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
same with youtube links. a workaround is try to long press the link and select "open in external application". maybe it works with play store links too.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

in kiwi "settings -> accessibility -> open in external applications" hast to be enabled for the workaround above.
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:
THANKS!
[Android Apps and Games] █████:
Can't open my companies site anymore. It says:

Your web browser is out of date

:(
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
No Problem for me
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
Possibly because of this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=881410
[Android Apps and Games] JeffSturm4nn:
Do you have an idea of how long it'll take until the next official release? No rush, just asking.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
That's for the newer base. Last official v69 Google released.

Soon
[Android Apps and Games] Danvdh:
Well done, this is one fantastic browser
[Android Apps and Games] anirogz:
can you please add some useful addons like tampermoney or instead to make it less size just add tampermonkey scripts like anti adblocker killer and ad bypasser
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yes user scripts are coming 1000%
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
Can you give us any information about the current progress?
[Android Apps and Games] CatalystWon:
Kiwi Browser has become my favorite browser.

IMO it has the best night mode, so ergonomic and helpful to be able to make page background black with white text.

Only one request for improvement: Text reflow, so pinch&zoom gesture automatically resizes text to fit display.

Thanks!:)
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
autofil api

Would you be able to implement the Android/Chrome autofil api in the next release at all? It's a nightmare switching and getting others to switch if you can't use a password manager and have to start from scratch for all logins...
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Bitwarden password manager works great with kiwi on my galaxy s6 ( android 7.0 )
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Wow, have you changed any settings/flags in kiwi?
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
No i didnt touch anything like that
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
So strange. So any site you go to ie xda where you're not logged in to you can select the username box and bitwarden will prompt to autofil? Something must be enabled which isn't on my Pixel 2 :/
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Actually standard settings i have yes.

Kiwi is set to not save passwords and not to auto sign in.

Autofill forms is also switched off.

Under accessibility i have enable external applications switched on.

Few other things but they are the only 1s that may affect it i would have thought.

Im pretty sure it worked out of the box though before i touched any settings.

As for flags i have never touched those.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Clicking username box doesn't no.

I have to click the password box then the bitwarden icon pops up in the notification bar.

I pull the bar down click bitwarden, log in with fingerprint and my login is there.

I click that and it auto fills both username and password on kiwi.

I think on android 8 and above u dnt even have to pull the notification bar down. It adds a little button next to login boxes
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
Works for me with lastpass, I don't remember enabling any specific options in Kiwi relating to this. I think it worked from day one without any fine tuning.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Amazing, thanks! HAd no idea I was supposed to be pressing the password box! Doesn't worn on xda forum for me oddly. I had to enable the acessability service in Android and it works. It's an ugly hack/way of doing it compared to native support but it's google's fault!

Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
No worries. Glad you got it working
[Android Apps and Games] Conte Mascetti:
Hey there, I'm having this weird behavior sometime. Search a thing, then search another. Previous search appears in the middle of the page, disappears as soon as you scroll
[Android Apps and Games] Conte Mascetti:
Hope the upload goes fine ?
[Android Apps and Games] ryazan:
Bookmarks location

Where is the Bookmarks file located? I have a rooted phone and I want to copy Chrome bookmarks file manually. It does not seem to be in /data/data/ Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
It's an Easter egg. Only happens when you search for kiwi.
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
This was answered a few pages back. Search and ye shall receive.
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Looks like another variant of the address bar getting stuck bug.

I think it will be fixed in the next release
[Android Apps and Games] windows7:
i find full archive of apk

https://android-apk.org/com.kiwibrowser.browser/
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
my phone is rooted now tell me how to import all passwords from brave?

P.S: i solved it by copying cookies, cookies journal file from data/data/com.brave.browser/app_chrome/default to kiwi same folder.

you could also copy other files like bookmarks, history,login data,shortcuts,settings etc.

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] joakimbo:
Crossing fingers for a release soon. It's been over two months and this is my favorite browser. But there is a lot of annoying bugs that I imagine could be easily fixed with a small update..
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I would be happy about a small incremental update to match the latest Chromium base, because they come some really useful flags.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yep.

And the new material redesgin aswell.

Maybe due to redesign he is working on something??
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I think he is working on that special requests from the users. Scripts, new Tab page and extensions support.

That should be definitely a time killer.
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Would rather he just fixed the address / search bar getting stuck in the middle of the screen bug !
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah. New tab page and extension are the 2 most features I'm excited for.

This and one more annoying bug. Button at the bottom of the web page do not respond at all to your tap.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Can't understand that hype beyond the bottom bar. Feels a bit useless for me.
[Android Apps and Games] treboR2Robert:
Took me a while to get used to it being at the bottom.

For weeks i kept going to click at the top lol.

Used to it now tho and is so much better, when i use someone elses phone it feels alien being at the top.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomatot-:
With big phones it's very handy, that's all. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] Can you update us of any news? We are all curious and anxious for an update.
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I love the fact that chrome flags is working. Highly appreciated! :D
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hi,

I will write here when the new beta is ready; I need more time to deliver useful functionalities (other than a simple version upgrade of Chromium).

I am still doing Kiwi after my work on my free time, hopefully I can change that soon :fingers-crossed:

Arnaud.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I agree, that bug sucks, and is the only one that really bothers me day to day too (I use Kiwi for background play and bottom bar mostly).
[Android Apps and Games] CraKenDK:
Thank you for a great browser. It has so much potential :D

Please consider open source, as we (us developers) can contribute/help and then you can approve the work done.

Right now I'm using Yandex with Lastpass which works fine, but I would rather use Kiwi mostly because of the bottom bar and speed.

Feature requests:

- Sync between Kiwi's

- Extension support
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Doesn't lastpass supports autofill??

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

And which other browser? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
Thank You for your work.

I would like to see the options for opening a link in the new active tab or in the background; or a pop-up window to go to the newly opened tab in the background (like in other browsers: Edge or Firefox).
[Android Apps and Games] CubaoX:
@up

You did not understand me.

I mean 2 solutions to choose from:

1st option - 2 items in the context menu:

"Open in new ACTIVE tab." (the new one)

AND

"Open in new BACKGROUND tab"

OR

2nd option:

When You're opening new tab in the background (like there is now),

a pop-up window opens asking if you want to go to this tab (like in Firefox or Edge).

Sorry, English is not my native language, so it may be difficult to explain in a comprehensible way what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] joakimbo:
It's not possible to do a small update just for this? I agree about it being the only dealbraker.
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
Yes, it does and I am using it without issues (although I am in the process of switching to bitwarden, still testing it but it works with Kiwi too as another user pointed out a couple of pages back).
[Android Apps and Games] BonnyBedlamBoy:
just a question: is this official? mr. dev?
[Android Apps and Games] eroigaps:
Bitwarden love.
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
This browser is sketchy

Everytime I open it my Facebook app wakes app from power saving mode and bombardes me with notifications.

This would never happen with brave or bromite.

What is going on?
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
that makes no sense. kiwi doesn't even have notifications. the problem is that trash Facebook app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
I stopped using Facebook and Messenger, replaced with Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite. The lite versions suck less (power from your battery):silly: Still need to use Facebook for friends from other countries that only use that...

Edit : sorry for the OT
[Android Apps and Games] Ayman ae:
I don't know wtf is going on but it triggers Facebook notification when i agressively put that botnet Facebook app in hyper power saving mode basically not running.

As soon as I open kiwi Facebook app directly starts. Every single time.

No other app does this.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Query log is showing some shady stuff too.

Why isnt anyone talking about this?
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
It's something with your rom/settings, you're the only with that problem.
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
Can you post your log?
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Maybe cause nobody is using some crap like Facebook with a native app. You can just use the website or for example mbasic.facebook.com.

There should be a special trigger event. I would try to deactivate the open in external application to test.

And you should completely reproduce or just show a video.
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I agree. The animations are too fast and just not as pleasurable to the eye. I get the point, it's supposed to appear fast. But not by sacrificing the smooth feel.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
you get pleasure from slow animations? :confused:

i dont think I've ever thought "god i got such pleasure from that tab switching animation"

:D
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
Take me seriously please. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. There is almost no animation. The transitions are too fast. Yes there is such a thing as too fast transitions. Imagine that.
[Android Apps and Games] :
+1 this.

It seems fast yes. But adding little more animations help improve overall user experience.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
As I remember, the real noticeable animations came with the stable chrome version 69, or am I wrong? There I've noticed those nice smooth ones compared with the new design
[Android Apps and Games] :
And there is a flag

Chrome Modern full roll

This flag was associated with animations but I don't think it made any improvements.
[Android Apps and Games] joakimbo:

[Android Apps and Games] capuagenclik:
is it possible in anyway to work with google chrome sync? might be silly question but just wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] :
AFAIK, The desktop version of chromium V69 has Chrome sync enabled. So it might be possible?? I don't know for sure...
[Android Apps and Games] UFO VPN:
Downloaded and give you some promotion idea

i've downloaded your browser, it's fast and ad-block

i think it deserve more users to know it.

i advise you give a youtube video on your googleplay page, and contact some youtubers who made lots of tech videos on their channels to review and recommend your app to their subscribers.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

i've downloaded your browser, it's a fast and ads-block app deserves more users

so i wanna advise you promote it on youtube, where has many youtubers made tech videos, you can contact them to give a review for your app so that their subscribers will know your app.

and more, you can make a video on your googleplay page, too.
[Android Apps and Games] CraKenDK:
Yes it does, but Kiwi on Android does not support Extensions, so I can not use Lastpass when using Kiwi on my mobile phone...

Yandex does and that is why I'm using it right now.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I still can't follow you, why you need that addon function, if the app supports androids autofill feature. In case kiwi doesn't need support for extensions in case to autofill the passwords on websites.

I've checked it with facebook as example, I got the notification that lastpass found credentials.

Or do you have an very old android version? ^^ :confused:

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

No, for sync you have to use chrome itself

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Yeah I know that flag, but it's not included in the current kiwi version, it needs a newer chrominium version. I also found that flag on latest v69 brave and bromite
[Android Apps and Games] zilexa:
only reason I still use Firefox as my main browser on Android is because I also use a laptop.

Is there any chance Kiwi Browser will ever support storing your Kiwi browser history/bookmarks in a file that I can simply sync using SyncThing or NextCloud (any personal cloud solution) to have the same history and bookmarks on a desktop.. with a desktop Kiwi Browser? :angel:

That would definitely be the crown on this browser: sync via personal cloud :)

Also, the Firefox/Chrome extension "I don't care about cookies" seems to auto accept way more GDPR messages. Any chance you can connect to their database?

https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/

[MENTION=1626544]romskii[/MENTION] have you enabled Accessibility Services for LastPass? As far as I know the Android framework only allows you to use the password manager of choice for apps, not for browsers. I use Enpass and I need to enable accessibility Services to get a notification in my notification bar whenever it thinks I am going to input any text anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks for sharing about the "I don't care about cookies". I'm taking a look right now how they do.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Yes of course :p
[Android Apps and Games] zilexa:
I just realized, with "Hide annoying ads" enabled I am unable to view the most popular Dutch/Belgian tech site: https://tweakers.net

Disabling the option in the menu allows me to see the site (with the cookie notification since I'm visiting for the first time with Kiwi).

EDIT: what I meant to say: after accepting the cookie message I can enable the "Hide annoying ads" feature and the site still works. So I need to disable this feature to accept cookies to be able to see the site (I don't have this issue with the "I don't care about cookies" addon).

A bit offtopic:

The annoying thing with that method: it's a one way street. When you login for the first time in a browser LastPass/Enpass won't ask you to save the login credentials. So you would have to add all your websites login credentials to your password manager manually the first time right?
[Android Apps and Games] joroizin:
Does it support Kiosk mode? For digital signage
[Android Apps and Games] KaaMyA:
While DEV answers, I'll put a grain of salt here.

It looks like a mirror site, just like APKmirror.com. they are sharing almost exactly the same layout.

However, "Raspberry", was released to fix some problems happened on x86 devices only.

As far as i know, other architectures are still using "Quenepa" as their latest release.

I can't hide I'm pretty anxious to see how new Kiwi will look, but have to be clear that I'm not interested in using add-ons for it.... at least not in Android, but... I absolutely would, if Kiwi were released for Windows! :P
