I'm sorry but nothing I do is working (at least) for me...

2-3 updates ago suggested articles was vastly improved and browser gave me 7/10 articles that was in any way connected to my interests, browsing and searches - Chrome gives me 9/10 articles that interest me..

Recently I had to reinstall Kiwi because my homepage simply wasn't getting populated with suggested articles no matter how many times I typed chrome://newtab/ and when I reinstalled, once again, I simply can't get articles that are connected to my searches and interests, it keeps showing me - Forbes, India today, etc.... that has nothing to do with the sites that I visit or things that I click on, I can't seem to find a way to 'retrain' kiwi to show more relevant information in homepage!

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Dude, please. It's like if you're saying "i know that the answer has already been posted somewhere, but well I'll ask this again anyway" when the first rule of XDA is make a good use of that extremely useful function called "search". Just type "import bookmarks chrome", it's not that hard and overall you'll have your answer in less than 10 seconds. I always search before asking, because in this way i can save time without asking for something that has been already answered 10 times already (only in this thread).

Just wondering, you never seem to reply on

?..
[Android Apps and Games] Wikdclown:
Is there anyway to block the YouTube ad? It's not a video ad but it pops up over the video player(it times out after 10 seconds or so).
[Android Apps and Games] gdgsdg123:
[Suggestion]

Try the

icons

. (alpha: 67%)

Preview

, and

comparison

.

(

Originally

for another app but somehow noticed it could be used on almost everything...)

And when they are no longer obstructive, no need to hide them when the selection is made by "Shift + Arrow keys".

Hi thx it shows more related news nowadays. Is it related to my signing into news.google.com or it just learns from my activities in kiwi alone?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Kiwi doesn't learn, store, send or do anything, the way it works is more simple:

chrome://newtab is the feed from chromecontentsuggestions (the feed you see in Chrome homepage) but it's pretty weak in my opinion and shouldn't be affected by your sign-in status (it's dependant on the sync functionality).

On the other "new new tab page" the feed comes directly from news.google.com so it uses your Google account if you are connected, and not your account if you are not connected.

and is pretty good I think :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I'm reading there ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gdgsdg123:
OK... so for the ideas mentioned in

this

Hey dev, really appreciate your work man. Been a fan of kiwi since release. The reachability feature is just amazing:laugh: never knew i needed something like that so much. Thanks :highfive:

I use adaway. Should I disable kiwi's adblocker?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
No need for that, both solutions can run in parallel. If you encounter any issue (for example web pages not being shown correctly), you can disable the in-built adblocker, as AdAway takes care of most ads.
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
I dont understand the use of the feature hand button? The website is on the bottom and then? :confused: What is useful on this?

EDIT: Oh i understand, loool, i have found the solution. ? One Handed Mode. Ok.

Feature Request: Can you make the feature to sort the toolbar buttons or/and deactive or activate the buttons?

Issue: Some websites have white font on a white background when I have night mode active, or the black background turns white, so if it was black before. (before the nightmode)

Nightmode is 101%.

Hi,

A new version of Kiwi is available:

Version Omicron (March 3, 2019)

This version includes performance and stability fixes.

Most of the changes are behind-the-scenes, this is work to optimize the core of the browser.

- Homepage loads much much much faster

- Fixed crash "Aw Snap!" that happens on some rare configurations.

- Improved stability on Xiaomi devices (GPU crashing)

- Smoother animations (yep!) and user experience.

If you have any issues feel free to write here or join

the Discord community.

Thank you for sharing Kiwi with your friends!

and thanks big big big times the two persons who provided stack-traces and debug information.

As always, available on XDA labs: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.kiwibrowser.browser

Hope you'll enjoy it :highfive::fingers-crossed:

Arnaud.
[Android Apps and Games] Sauronych:
Not sure if this has been suggested before, but I think it'd be great if the bottom toolbar option also moved the homepage shortcuts to the bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] thanks for the update, lately things are keeping better with every update in terms of speed and navigation.

I'd like to bump a thing that i asked some time ago :p here - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78757624&postcount=1783 - this (the possibilty of viewing the source of an HTTP page) would be an option that would complete this browser in every single thing that i need daily. I'd just like to know if adding this function is in your plannings/interests or not.

Thanks for all your efforts and keep on :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Technically it's very easy (just add view-source: in front of the URL, you can even try it).

My only concern is where to put it in the UI as it is already quite crowded.

So if you have suggestions then I can add ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Just tried, the result is a force close. Here's a screen rec of the issue https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojoh07ugclo3kw2/ScreenRec_20190303_234656.mp4

I'm running latest Descendant build (TwoDotZero) that has your app at version Eta as prebuilt browser. Any hints to what could be causin' this? :cowboy: and for your question about the position in the UI, well instead of adding an icon i'd add just a string like night mode, turn on/off ads, bookmarks ecc. already have :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
...

Congrats. You found a crash :( :( :(

I was able to reproduce it, so I will do a fix tomorrow
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Well, I'm glad to know that this isn't only a issue on my device at least :cool: if this will be solved i won't even need a proper function to view the source of a page, so double gain :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] mig33:
I recently try Kiwi Browser. The features is good way better than chrome. But there is a problem when I hit translate from menu ads pop up from some where. It never happens on other browser. Are my phone is infected with adware. My source of app is playstore, f-droid, and xda labs(ymusic, youtube vanced, and kiwi) no pirate app installed.
[Android Apps and Games] ★Michaelo★:
It's either a page you are opening (highly doubt on that) or some trashy app you've installed. It's not really related to the browser you are using
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
The tool is Microsoft Translate, take the link in the address bar from Kiwi and try in Chrome for comparison.

For curiosity: Can you take a screenshot of the ads?

Because even if it would be an adware on your phone Kiwi should block them ;)

If you have Brave installed on your phone, it could be Brave injecting pop-up ads as an experiment (see their last negative reviews in Play Store, lot of user complains).
[Android Apps and Games] chabula:
In Kiwi i have the choice for dowload to the internal or external memory.

But how to get it in the sub dbirectory i choose

Example. ext sd /Downloads
[Android Apps and Games] SunilSuni:
Closing and adding tabs are smoother now as compared to last build.

Tested on Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I fixed it in the next release, it's a very minor issue.

In fact, it crashes only on Google.com.

When you do a search with Google.com in the browser, instead of the full URL, only the keyword is displayed. For this, Kiwi parses the ?q= parameter.

Once you add view-source: in front of a Google.com URL then the parser is confused on how to interpret the URL and crashes with error "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This isn't a hierarchical URI." :D

It's fixed, so next week should be there, but all other URLs are functional and I'll see if there is a way to make this more convenient.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomatot-:
Hey [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] your last updates have come more often and are really useful... It seems you have added most of the features you wanted so now you're doing small improvements that enhance daily life... that's great, I like the new animations for example.

However, if I may remind you, could ou make the look of "turn on night mode" option similar to "desktop site" and "hide annoying ads": a small box to tick. It will be more coherent and it's easier to tell if it's on or off.

A tiny thing you could do: when clicking on "one handed mode", make the 3 dots option in a smaller window so you can access all options like "new tab" with one hand 8)

What I'm asking is really tiny improvements that you might find interesting, but obviously it shouldn't be a priority.
[Android Apps and Games] m00nlighter:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION], kudos for the most polished WebKit based mobile browser I ever tried.

Talking about the sync feature, I do understand why Google Sync is out of the equation.

Now how about joining forces with Vivaldi (www.vivaldi.com)? They have a working AND Google agnostic (independent) sync solution—but there are no mobile versions of Vivaldi so you're not direct competitors.

I mean, it might just be a win-win scenario for both Kiwi and Vivaldi—you get access to their sync solution AND a chance to get more users for Kiwi on mobile devices, guys at Vivaldi get mobile presence and a chance to earn more users for Vivaldi on PCs. Sounds like great synergy to me ;)

Installed new version, just had an Aw Snap for the first time. Will see if I can reproduce.

Do you run version Omicron ?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hi everyone,

I'm very happy to announce that the homepage / new tab page source-code is fully available on GitHub:

https://github.com/kiwibrowser/ntp

So if you want to play with it, all you need to do is to fork the repository, do changes, and ask for a pull request.

You can try it online at: https://kiwibrowser.github.io/ntp/local_ntp.html (just open it with your favorite browser)

This means that homepage mods are now starting to be possible :smiley: :highfive:

Is a arm64 build still in development?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Oh, it works in fact, I just don't recommend using any arm64 build, you can try it here:

[64-BIT - Alpha] This is a release for adventurers. Since it's a 64-bit version, in theory faster speed (but more memory and disk usage)

https://storage.googleapis.com/kbdevreleases/Kiwi-20190304225811.apk (md5: 55369fc3c69b22fc7f7fdddb971109d1)

It will go live this summer.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I think they will manage to release their Android client by themselves Jon has been very chatty about it lately so I suspect there are doing real progress now.

I try to focus on extensions now, and maybe that will unlock sync when the time is right :)
[Android Apps and Games] SgtDork:
Fastest browser around! Would like to be able to turn off custom tabs though.
[Android Apps and Games] RedSkull23:
Perfect arnaud42 thanks for explaining this to me, didn't knew that yet. Funny thing is that trying to add view:source on my home page (Google.com) like you suggested to me in the end leaded to a crash unknown before :silly: i don't think things could be easier than this, so don't bother and as i already said before, since that view-source string works perfectly on other sites, there's no need to occupy precious space that could be more useful for future features in the menu. Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
The fix is already done in fact, just not released ;)
[Android Apps and Games] djcsurf:
Was you able to reproduce the Aw Snap error I posted about?

I can't seem to restore kiwi browser anymore

Using oandbackup (fdroid), as I do a lot of testing for custom ROM I need to have my apps backed up.

It was working fine on few builds before but now after restore it shows the "ah snap page "

Also can u look into the ad block some sites like kissanime can bypass the current ad block and display like one or two ads ( nothing major though)

Thank you

This version includes the latest security improvements from Chromium (including the FileReader bug CVE-2019-5786)

- Fix for news not appearing correctly in the homepage feed

- Hindi and Chinese Traditional translation

- Minor fixes (ex: view-source: )

Hello there.

Using the Sigma (and previous One) version and in order to confirm, do you have any force close when trying a long touch on a link (similar to Right click)?

Thanks for the answer
[Android Apps and Games] SunilSuni:
No issues here . Application is working properly
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
The force close is due to Substratum, just rebuild the theme every time you update an app ;)

I remember I had the same issue with oandbackup like two versions before the current one of Kiwi, but it worked perfectly with Titanium. oandbackup is buggy and is rarely updated, so I suggest you to use Titanium instead, at least for Kiwi.

Instead of Oreo update i just got security update of 1st June

I got the June security patch today.. Still no oreo..
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] santoshx99:
They don't want to mess up with bugs, they are testing Oreo via soak testers and it would take at least one month to release Oreo final build for all users. So, jus wait for few days u will definitely get it.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DAC.IT:
Funny "just wait you will get it" , some people arent even getting the June security update, im not so sure how motorola sends out updates. If they are relying on carriers, then we likely wont get anything , this is why i usually forego the ota nonsense and just root/custon recovery/ custom rom , and never look back , i dont have the time to do that now
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] santoshx99:
That's my last option. Will simply unlock the bootloader. Install TWRP, root and than install tonnes of custom roms simultaneously. Can't wait to install Viper4Android and Lucky patcher. The same what I did with my previous Moto E & Moto E2(otus) and now a g5s plus user.

I am not very eager to stick with Stock rom. But there are many roms out there filled with too many bugs, which made me to stick with the Stock.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DAC.IT:
I always unlock the BL first if i can , you can always get OTA after that unless you do custom recovery , or root ! I usually dont wait for OTA, because carriers usually scrap the idea of updates until theyve sold a few million of the fones first , by that time , the fone is old and then they feel theres no need to upgrade anyway because there Hawking a new better fone !
