I don't think there is any way it can know, but Google knows for sure, and maybe they put it into the autocomplete (it goes directly to Google).

This is the list of websites that appears per default in Kiwi for Germany:

Is it one of these websites ?

otherwise, results comes directly from Google (Search).

I wouldn't be surprised if Google actually send different results based on the location of the IP address no matter whether you are logged or not.

Do you have the case as well when you switch to another search provider ?
[Android Apps and Games] callmejones:
It's none of those websites. They are small little websites which are not famous outside Switzerland such as:

Daydeal.ch

Digitec.ch

Qoqa.ch

I just deleted all data of the app and tested again. As soon as i type 'di' in the address bar, it auto completes with digitec.ch

I am quite like 99% sure that it is "just" Google returning customised answers. There is nothing related to Kiwi.

The best way to solve that is to change the default search engine (ex: DuckDuckGo, Qwant, etc), it will change the suggestion provider as well :o

Let me know about the google.ch result, this way we can be 100% sure.

I can also confirm that Kiwi cannot read data from Chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Got it, I'll come to you once the test for the DNS resolver is ready :highfive:

(or the extensions, but expect to wait on that one :victory: )
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Noted. As you said, it's relatively minor, especially once the homepage will be night mode compatible it's going to be quite comfortable already, but it has to be done :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hi,

1/ This is speed dial, it's planned for the next update

This is a cool idea, I can probably explore it next month.

Just a heads up, webrtc is leaking the native "local" IP address, even when connected to a VPN

[Android Apps and Games] kingbenzima:
Why does the browser fail to load images?? even with a fast network, when i switch to another tab, the page loads in background but image is blank, until I switch back and reload the page fully then the image shows, noticed that this also happens in other chromium browsers like Bromite and brave but not in Firefox
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
No, accepting donations or selling software is a big responsibility and this would put pressure on me.

When I come home in the evening I want to have the choice (this is side-project) and I don't really want to quit my job (it pays well but beyond this, I think it would be very very risky to quit to work full-time on the project).
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hi,

I just have tested and I can see that the images are working.

Are you using AdAway ? If yes, can you try disabling it ?
[Android Apps and Games] kingbenzima:
Yes I do use AdAway but it doesn't prevent me from viewing the Images like I said before, I think it's probably a behaviour of chromium based browsers to stop image loading when in background or switching tabs, because it doesn't happen in Firefox (Gecko)

So how would i change the default search engine to duckduck?

All i can select are different Google sites...

But actually it doesn't matter... It's coming from Google and not from the browser which confused me... Thank for making that clear!

Gesendet von meinem MI 6 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yes, this confirms that it is Google Search giving the answer (100% sure, it even says "NAVIGATION" at the bottom, which means it comes from some kind of history somewhere).

Go to duckduckgo.com, then click on Add to Chrome.

Few seconds later, DuckDuckGo should appear in your search engines Settings :)

Bug report

First of all I just want to say I love the browser and I've been using it as my main choice for as long as I can remember now, always been faster and better on the battery for me than Chrome. I have noticed a couple of bugs in my time of using it though, I have recorded videos of me demonstrating said bugs best I can.

(Sorry about the links apparently I'm not allowed to post them yet)

Tap to search does not work

Video:

https:// gfycat . com/mealyleafybudgie

As you can see from the video I show that my tap to search setting is enabled then try to tap on text to bring up more information but nothing happens. I also try holding down the text to bring up the selection as that is also supposed to trigger tap to search but still nothing happens.

Notifications don't work

Video:

https:// gfycat . com/unrealisticjaggedgoldfinch

I also can't get notifications to work on any website that supports it. In the video I show I have all the related notification settings enabled then go to https:// www . bennish . net/web-notifications.html which is a website built for testing native browser notifications and as you can see it tells me the permission is denied without even bringing up the option for me to accept notifications (I have also tried on Facebook/Twitter and they both say the same thing).

Android autofill API introduced in Oreo doesn't work

Video:

https:// gfycat . com/shabbygoodgonolek

The new Android autofill API doesn't work in Kiwi, I can get it to work inside of apps which I show in the video but anytime I enter a password field in Kiwi I don't get the prompt to autofill. If I change my autofill service from bitwarden to Google I get the exact same results.

Google Assistant can't display on top of Kiwi

Video:

https:// gfycat . com/phonygoldenaxisdeer

The Google Assistant overlay doesn't appear on top of Kiwi. In the video I demonstrate it opening normally and how it won't open when I have Kiwi open, I also show the assistant opening on top of some other apps.

[Android Apps and Games] udaysaikrishna:
Hey,

Can u pls add the plus (+) option at the bottom when using with duplex mode enabled like in the chrome, instead of having it at the top..it would be easy to have a new tab if u do so. And even it looks good if you remove the top address bar, tabs option, settings option (3 dot menu) when duplex is enabled.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] █████:
I have a huge feature request. Pls add a fullscreen option. So Smartphones with notches can have the immersive mode they want. This option can be hidden in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Any luck with syncing for the browser across devices/new installs?
[Android Apps and Games] holefizzy:
This is a great browser! I compared Chromium, Brave, Bromite, and Kiwi and this is the best one for me in terms of content blocking, performance, and simplicity.

I did notice Bromite has a unique feature in Settings > Privacy:

Open links in incognito tabs always

Open links in incognito tabs when you click on new tab or on a link.

Is this something that can be included in Kiwi? Having to follow random links to non-incognito tabs always ends up recommending me hyper-unique URLs from my history when I type in the address bar.

Edit: I also considered submitting an issue but it looks like that feature isn't actively being used.

Also [MENTION=8627832]csagan5[/MENTION] if you're reading this Bromite is great too just not sure why there is noticeable lag when scrolling. I figured you knew this since I saw people commenting the same in Bromite's thread. I also tried your Chromium build and notice the same issue so it's likely just optimizations needed.
[Android Apps and Games] kaikun97:
Hey, I don't know if anybody noticed yet, but the chrome://config section does not work at all, gives an invalid URL error. How do we access the advanced config?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Its chrome://flags not chrome://config
[Android Apps and Games] kaikun97:
Oops my mistake, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] manuw2009:
Hi,

I opened an issue on GitHub : it seems on my tablet that the dark mode is not kept. Each time I launch the app it is reset.

Works fine on my phone (redmi note 4, lineage 15.1), not on my Mipad 4 (lineage 16 or xiaomi.eu)
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
It is a known issue, kiwi isn't optimized for tablets yet
[Android Apps and Games] manuw2009:
Are you sure ? To me this is fairly generic android stuff.

Not asking for optimization or anything, just to keep an option value...
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Any way to have more than 2x4 rows of most visited sites on ntp?
[Android Apps and Games] Alashe:
Do you guys know what was the last notification working build?
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
just press the + button in the upper right corner, you can also delete if you long press over an icon a "x" will appear
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I don't get any x or options, only 'open in new tab' etc
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
Works on my GT-I8190L, see the attached file, it's a video, I just press the back button, but I realized that you don't have to hold until context menu appears, keep trying
[Android Apps and Games] Aborto:
I have a feature request, it might be pushing it as its only relevant to a single site, but that site is reddit so its pretty damn popular.

Reddit mobile is annoying as hell due to constant popups to use their app. Firefox mobile has an extension here to block them. I'd love to see this integrated with Kiwi Browser.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-reddit-app-promos/?src=search
[Android Apps and Games] :
Or you can just switch of that prompt from the context menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Aborto:
Reddit has a lovely habit of periodically ignoring that setting, it never seems to stick, a bit like Facebook privacy settings.
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
reCAPTCHA has to be atleast 3 times to be verified whereas chrome and brave work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
Then complain with recaptcha
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Get Joey. Great reddit app.
[Android Apps and Games] GeorgeDachamp:
been using this for a while. only issue i run into is when running videos on fullscreen it gltiches with the navbar. but if i hide the nav bar works perfectly
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Was about to suggest this too.
[Android Apps and Games] Aborto:
I've tried them all, but when I browse I like to open multiple pages in new tabs for reading later. Every app is single thread browsing only. I much prefer the mobile site.

I get this is probably waaaay to niche to justify adding to a browser, in which case no harm done. I just find that extension great at forcing reddit to shut up with the nagging and it would seal the deal for me.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
I get that, some sites I also prefer to open tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
I know, i have said it often, but if you can add default icognito and to use own filter (uBlock Filters) then i find the browser is the best on the market. (+ on the world and the universe. ??)
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
I noticed the same, is it really Browser related? ?
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
You can try to pass recaptcha by using the option to listen an audio and then writing what it said
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
It seems so. It would be great if dev would look into it.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Yes but if that fails then only a refresh is option
[Android Apps and Games] Tomatot-:
If recaptcha doesn't work as well it just means that your privacy is better protected and that your browser fingerprint is weak. So you can't have best of both world I guess... It's just a horrible thing by Google...
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
It doesn't matter which phone or PC or network I'm using, recaptcha almost never works with the first try for me.
[Android Apps and Games] lui075:
I have some problems with websites using Google maps. After opening a map first time I am able to move map with one finger. When I zoomed out it is impossible to move the map.

I tried with cellmapper.net map.

Something I do not know? Maybe some settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Fixided:
The fact of the matter is that we're not expecting instant verification because we know kiwi respects privacy.

What were complaining about is it never working on the first/second try.

My method is to click one tile > verify > get an error saying I have to select all the correct tiles > then it works "first" try.
[Android Apps and Games] Try it or die:
Kiwi makes no difference for me, it's working the same like every other browser for me.
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
It's a known bug. Developer is taking his time to address it.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomatot-:
If it doesn't work, again, it's on purpose from Google to discourage people from increasing their privacy and weakening their fingerprint. Check on reddit privacy forums you'll see so many people complaining. As I already said it's disgusting from Google. Avoid websites abusing recaptcha, simply because Google makes you work for free to train their AI.

Sad so many webmasters are too lazy to implement alternatives.
[Android Apps and Games] dragunbayne:
Does anyone else here use Kiwi on DEX? It worked okay for me on a monitor at work, but I cannot click or close tabs when using it on my TV. I will retest with a monitor when I get a chance since that was a couple of Kiwi updates ago. It is putting the top of the webpage under the tabs and acting like the tabs do not exist. For example here on XDA it drops down the menus and stuff from the top when I go over the tabs and I am at the top of the page.

Just a cool FYI: Chrome keyboard shortcuts work. So I am able to navigate and close tabs.

EDIT: I believe the issue is that Kiwi is not compatible with being windowed. I think the bar at the top is throwing it off.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I'm still getting ads in some amp pages, is there a way to report then
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
Found it in the startpage forum search.

[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Just switched to Kiwi after being fed up with Chrome's choppy scrolling on my OnePlus 6T, and I'm loving the increased performance. I've run into one issue that I haven't been able to resolve, however.

It seems to be killing cookies every few hours. On resetera.com, for example, I'm being logged out every two or three hours. This behavior doesn't occur in Chrome.

Anything I can do about this? Cookies and third-party cookies are both allowed under site settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Waffelman:
Hello,

thank you for this browser! Especially I like the dark/night mode very much.

I would like to make one more request. Please make it possible to have bookmarks on a new tab page or at least make the bookmarks widget also in dark mode.

Long, long ago (before I switched to Lightning browser), I used this link:

chrome://newtab/#bookmarks

to have my bookmarks on new tab page in chrome for android, but nowadays it doesn't work either on chrome, nor on kiwi browser.

Decent ads-blocker, dark/invert mode and quick access to my bookmarks, are three key features I'm looking for. I would also pay for a browser with this features, like I did it for Lightning Web Browser +, it's a pity it don't gets any updates.

Have a nice day.
[Android Apps and Games] ales100i:
Here you go. Use this for homepage:

chrome-native://bookmarks/
[Android Apps and Games] Waffelman:
Yes, it works! Thank you very much!

Now is Kiwi my favorite browser. I love it.

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] tanfidzularus:
Why cant we change download folder? The options are only for downloading folder on internal or sdcard. Couldnt go more further into subfolder
[Android Apps and Games] Darione90:
oh im sorry, im tryn to improve my searchin skills :(
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Love the browser!

Just wanted to point out a small visual thing that I noticed in case the developer decides to address it. When you go from the tab view back to a tab, the plus sign in the upper left corner sticks around a little too long during the transition animation rather than smoothly fading out of view like it does in Chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] DSP8000:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] - thanks for the continuous updates and bugfixes. Is there any option to disable Kiwi ad-blocker globally, not per page? If such functionality does not exist in current builds, is there any chance you could implement this? Brave browser has global option to disable "shields".

The reason as to why I am interested in the above is because some pages (do not have examples atm. and it would be pointless to hardcode many pages to whitelist) simply do not work until Kiwi adblock is disabled.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Ivan
[Android Apps and Games] Avhill:
You can disable the Adblocker for all websites in Settings -> Site settings -> Ads
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
So why exactly is scrolling so much more responsive and smooth in this browser than in any version of Chrome that I've tried on my 6T. Scrolling behavior in Chrome has been extremely choppy on this device, but I've always been under the impression that the issue pertained to either my 6T or Oxygen OS before trying Kiwi.

Scrolling in all other apps is silky smooth. It's just Chrome that behaves strangely.
[Android Apps and Games] DSP8000:
Yeh, nope, that's the default Ad-Block from Google Chrome which is also present in GC, nothing to do with Kiwi's Ad-blocker at all. Also, that is already disabled in my settings. I am talking about the ... menu "Hide Ads"
[Android Apps and Games] kobe1326:
Wrap text

Hi is it possible to add the wrap text feature that opera has? It is the only thing missing for in an otherwise perfect browser. Any plans of adding it in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] Tommytommy1234:
What do you think about Kiwi and Bromite? Anyone use both? Any differences in performance and privacy?
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
Bromite is purely focused on privacy, while Kiwi has some patches for privacy, but that's not the strongest point of this browser.

Regarding to performance: Some users say that Bromite has some performance problems under certain scenarios, others say no, but as always, that's a personal opinion/preference.
[Android Apps and Games] thanhnvt194:
I'm using kiwi with bromite webview lol.
[Android Apps and Games] bloodplanet:
Sounds interesting! I will give it a try :)
[Android Apps and Games] slipstreamer88:
AFAIK, using Kiwi with Bromite webview makes no difference since Kiwi will be using it's own engine.

Only "lite" browsers like the LOS Jelly browser and similar would use the webview to render pages.
[Android Apps and Games] thanhnvt194:
But you can't use kiwi as a webview. I still need that for other apps beside browser. Apps like outlook will crash with no webview installed.

And i don't trust Google's one ?
[Android Apps and Games] giresun27:
Hi I really like kiwi browser,

Is there an option to use desktop site permanently that i do not have to change it to desktop site everytime?

[Android Apps and Games] mindtrappergr:
Unfortunately the problem still remains, where if you have "hide ads" active, it hides some elements like page indicators from some web sites (forums mostly).
