I found a bug, sometimes when I copy an url from the address bar and paste it on new tab and hit enter/go the search engine runs and some "characters" appear in front of the url instead of open the link directly. Sometimes I use textise and I have to copy and paste urls, see attatched files. Those "characters" are invisibles if you look at the clipboard also when you paste the url . Please fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
I think the Opera browser is the most suitable for you, you have a data saving mode replacing Textise, or we can also wait for the data saving mode to be developed in Kiwi Browser.
[Android Apps and Games] sedan206:
:o;)
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
In fact I like Firefox, and I developed textise-it to use it there.

I also realized that if you modify the url in the address bar for example

https://www.neoteo.com/wd-my-passport-wireless-pro/

To

https://www.neoteo.com

And hit enter/go that "characters" appear and search engine runs instead of the website.

That happens with every url, just try it.

I guess it's a utf8 character not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Rip'nRage:
works fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
I did a test on GT-I8190L, and shv-e160k both android 4.1.2 and have the problem of characters added in the url.

I also did a test on D5833 with android 6.0.1 and the problem doesn't appear.

Recently i did a test on SM-G920I with android 7.0 and the problem doesn't appear.

Can someone do more testing?

Autofill api

Is the lack of ability to autofill passwords from a password manager due to Android P's lack of working api implemented, or Chrome base's lack of this ability, or something that can be added?

I'm having the same problem, the tab switcher is always compact, I'm using the last version of Kiwi Browser with LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) in my LeEco Le Pro 3 X720.
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
After upgrades this is still always compact for me.

But I have something in mind and I wanted [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] to see if this is really it: maybe Kiwi is Android Go enabled for some Android 8.1 devices? (My device is an OnePlus 3T, running Omni 8.1)

I think this because it has the same features as Google Chrome for Android Go devices. Including compact tabs by default always.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] one small issue that i've seen is when choosing default browser, kiwi appears twice on that list on LOS 15.1. ss attached.
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
I don't really have in-depth knowledge. But for privacy concerns kiwi shouldn't have facebook trackers or if they are there for a reason please do tell.
[Android Apps and Games] Android450:
Just a small thing, there are two loading bars at the bottom when using Chrome Custom Tabs with Kiwi
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Same here with Omni 8.1, but as you can see it's happens with Chrome too.

And at the top there is also a void that would be the place of the bar at the top. My suggestion to the dev is that if it is not possible to fix, then please disable bottom bar for custom tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] ncristian:
It doesn't happen to me with Chrome and Bromite, so dunno what's the problem

Edit: it doesn't happen with Chrome but the problem is present in Bromite, I was wrong

Edit 2: it happens specifically with Chrome Canary

Edit 3: I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Basically, if you have an app that uses accessibility services, Canary-based browsers automatically force some accessibility settings, so you need to disable them.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
How do you disable these settings?
[Android Apps and Games] ncristian:
Settings (of your phone, not the browser one) > Accessibility > Downloaded services
[Android Apps and Games] skip029:
Thanks for the great browser!!

I've tried Chrome, Firefox, Focus, Brave, Samsung, Yandex, Opera, Mini, Tuga... None of them work with the speed and adblocking capability of Kiwi. This will stay my main and recommend browser since coming to Android.

Edit - Forgot to suggest a fix for nighmode color being a bit weird when visiting rotoworld.com for my fantasy football news. I can live with it but it shouldn't make colors washed out.

[Android Apps and Games] ozyk100:
Just wanted to say that I'm amazed with this browser and I finally found replacement for Chrome... I still keep Chrome around just to see if dev finds a solution for passwords and sync!

I do have a question - in news page I keep getting unrelated news from Fox, bbc, and other news outlets that don't interest me... How do I force browser to change that based on sites that I do visit like in Chrome? I even copied and pasted links (for the last couple of days) from Chrome to Kiwi and reading them on Kiwi thinking I could 'teach' it but to no avail.

Suggestions anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
I would love to know myself. I get a page full of news that does not remotely intes5 me.
[Android Apps and Games] Tokogon:
Howdy,

Happy user of your browser here. This thing is snappy blocks ads and annoying scripts, so I couldn't be happier. I mainly switched from Firefox Focus looking for a browser that worked with my password manager (Bitwarden). The only thing I missed from Focus was the auto clearing all data when you exit the app. That option plus the option to disable WebRTC would be amazing. Even without those though the clear private data button is easy enough to find on it's own so I'll be using this for the foreseeable future.
[Android Apps and Games] xmiseggs:
This is very important, in Exodus Web reports that it contains 4 trackers:

Facebook Analytics

Facebook Login

Facebook Places

Facebook Share

Please delete this for the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
after booting even with startup permission disabled Kiwi manages to transmit some data. Unusual that none of my other browsers need to track the user like this
[Android Apps and Games] HostileSage:
Found a bug. I use this website to manage my Fantasy Football Team. Every browser succeeds to show my team except Kiwi. Attaching screenshots for comparing the page in Chrome and Kiwi. You can see that the whole image (may not be a simple image though, one can drag and drop over this) for squad is gone for Kiwi. Reply if you need any kind of log or anything like that.

N.B. - Using this browser for 2 weeks and loving it. Stopped using chrome already except this website.

[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Ya there's a few sites like that and he working on it. Has to do with adblocking. If you just do settings and uncheck "hide annoying ads" it will probably populate the picture.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
already told [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] about this. i am hoping that he will delete those trackers in next version.
[Android Apps and Games] HostileSage:
Yeah right. Unchecking "Hide annoying ads" solved it. Atleast I got a solution for now. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
Hi, I was reading this page and the browser crashed 2 times. Can someone confirm it? Or maybe it's just my problem

Here is the logcat.

when will the update? are looking forward to
[Android Apps and Games] AdroitAdorKhan:
Man hold your horses! :p We all are waiting! But, let him manage, and push everything perfectly! That's how, you will get a fresh and stable build! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Yeah, but it would be really nice from DEV to update his sources on github! Ima bit picky about my Privacy & also experienced users like me could build it themselves, maybe fix bugs & commit :D

Sources were not updated since ~2 weeks. But i can understand maybe hes busy with life. But an OpenSource Project lives from us all, would relly like to contribute! Also that my mind would be quiet if i can build it myself from sources i got a look on before...

Issue i got since a week:

- On many sites there are Ads back. [MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] can you implement the host files from Adaway project? I mean its FOSS too, and really blocks all ads without breaking them!!! :D

- If the bottom url bar is enabled, its somtimes in the middle of the screen until switching tabs..

BIG REQUEST:

- pls un-hardcode the color value of the bottom bar in tab switcher, im using Swift Theme & they themed it, but the bar cant be themed using substratum because its hardcoded :( It works on Chrome tho...

Thank you again for your effort, work, time making this awesome browser!!!

Maybe i suggest adding a Donation Link on the xda thread, would gladly donate a little to keep this browser going and cover your coffee cost :)

(you could include link to xda thread in your App & if you have here a donation link, you dont get into trouble with Google^^ also you get the full donation)

peace!

global desktop mode option feature ??

Thank you very much for this browser ! I am very impressed by its fastness and it's "play videos in background" feature ! :good:

I wonder if the following feature has been asked (I searched but didn t find) : a global desktop mode option so that all sites are viewed in desktop mode without the need to press the "desktop site" button for each site ????

(I am using an xperia z4 tablet with keyboard and touchpad and I d better view all sites in desktop mode - browsers like Opera or Free Adblock browser have this feature ...)

Thanks for your attention and thanks again for this great browser ! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
Since today the layout of the tab switcher changed to list (see screenshot) rather than card like before. Anyone knows how to revert it?
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is the accessibility tab switcher enabled, disable this line from chrome://flags

Enable Accessibility switcher

:D
[Android Apps and Games] Scarfa:
This browser is great. I have one small request, if you go to this website forum, when you press the Twitter and Instagram embedded links it does nothing. On Samsung Browser and others I've tried it opens the Instagram or Twitter app. I know you can long press to bring up a menu and choose external app but it gets tedious doing it everytime b/c it doesn't remember, it would be nice if I can just press it and it goes straight to the app that I chose as default which I believe is the behaviour of chrome based browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
It's not working... :( i changed the setting and restart the apps twice (I know some flags need the app to be restarted twice). No luck...
[Android Apps and Games] :
There must be 3 options - Enable, Default and disable.

You must select disable.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
Strangely, there are only 2 option : disable and enable. Tried to toggle between the 2 but no effect whatsoever

Update : just did some googling and find this

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=859401

Disable accessibility access for "LongShot" app and the issue is resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] 4Freedom:
There is something strange on some websites, where there is a cookie popup or similar. (No problem on chrome)

[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Thank you so much! I finally solved the problem.

It was touchtask app with accessibility enabled. Do you know if this is a chromium bug or will it always happen?

Unfortunately touchtask is a plugin for Tasker that I use a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] AKA#1:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] Can you please add an option to replace/overwrite the file, rather than renaming when we download something. I mainly use it for downloading webnovels and fanfics. Thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/07/31/chrome-68-beta-bug-gives-tab-switcher-basic-look-temporary/

That's the post I stumbled upon. Looks like it's a chromium bug. The main article said it will gone in a few days. However, if you read the comments (one of them is where I found about the bug), there are some user that still has the problem after many days. So I'm not sure myself.

Regarding your problem, I'm afraid it's a trade off you have to choose: use the tasker plugin with only tab list in browser or use card tab list without the app.

Considering that you use the app a lot, looks like the first one makes more sense. The the tab list is ugly, but at least it's functional. I would rather sacrifice the interface than tasker which probably more important (I'm tasker user myself and I know how terrible it is to live without it after so many time with it) .

[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth6969:
Dunno if anyone has posted this but there's a weird thing happening sometimes with the address bar. There seems to be 2. I can't replicate it on purpose it just happens randomly.

You're not the only one. This happens to me as well.
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
I created a profile to disable TouchTask accessibility service when Kiwi is open. For now this is working well :)
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
Well. That's a clever solution I have to admit...

Edit: just curious, how do you do it? I would assume you use shell code right? Could you please kindly share it with me? Maybe by PM so it doesn't spam the thread? Thanks!

And for OP: sorry for this out of topic post

You managed to get Bitwarden autofil working for website logins in Kiwi? How? Nothing works for me. I can't really switch until I can import all my logins/passwordd
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
There is life and sun (which I appreciate for sure), but the main thing is the following:

My goal is to deliver bugfixes, import/export bookmarks and the new tab page.

I was thinking on what would be the best technical approach and decided to take a bit of risk:

I have started a very big project inside Kiwi but I am not sure that it'll actually technically work.

I really hope I can get it to release, I am quite nervous on how it would affect the stability of the browser.

https://github.com/kiwibrowser/priv...r/Add-support-for-extensions-on-Android.patch

Those who already worked with a Chromium-fork know how it is difficult to do. It is a very very time consuming process.

The next release of Kiwi is planned in the second part of August.

If it works, it'll be very nice, if it doesn't work, then I'll just have wasted time :)

At the moment, I am still 50/50 if this is going to work, but I think everybody likes the feedback.

If I succeed, this would unlock lot of possibilities. If it doesn't work, then I have to fallback to the native dev plan ;)

So, thanks for waiting and I hope to bring news soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] Android450:
Does the browser support fingerprinting protection?
[Android Apps and Games] jascolli:
I was curious about this as well and hope the dev will comment.
[Android Apps and Games] fourhundredlux:
Just got the browser and thought I'd drop in to say how awesome it is. There's a slight inconsistency if you're using the night mode, the tab switcher is still white.

Other than that I'm loving the browser, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
this is already the best chromium browser ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Any page on ee.co.uk ie https://shop.ee.co.uk/international/travelling-abroad doesn't work initially, you cant scroll, as the 'hide ads' interfers with thr cookies popup-disabling this, clicking agree, then re-enabling works. I'm thinking the method used to auto-accept these popups needs work.or an option to disable.
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
I think I understand what you'll do with that and wow, that requires a lot of work, code and skills. Good luck, and thanks for your effort with Kiwi!
[Android Apps and Games] murali3127:
Does that mean kiwi can have extension support like firefox?
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Any chance moving the address bar to bottom would also move the speed dial site icons down too, its hard to reach the top on some phones
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
Unfortunately right now it fingerprints you more, since the user agent has Kiwi in it. (sites see you're using Kiwi and not Chrome)

Besides they see your version, which is one of the Canary ones, so it is more likely that an user is using Kiwi compared to Chrome Canary (which updates versions faster obviously).

I really wish Kiwi would clean up their user agent soon to follow Bromite - that guy now even uses a fixed device name.

Great browser man, love it, thanks.

Only thing stopping me from make it my default browser is the lack of speed dial, so I was wondering if there is some website that allows you to create a speed dial so it can be set as main page or home page.

Hello Arnaud,

Bravo pour cette formidable application :) Essayée et directement adoptée :)

Is there a possibility to choose an application on download link click ?

I would like to download the link directly on my freebox.

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
First thanks for all your work on this.

Second I hope what you are trying does not mean you are attempting to enable google sync somehow for bookmarks.

I was hoping you would just be adding a simple html bookmark file import/export function so we wouldn't have to go through google sync, especially since my desktop browser is firefox anyway, and syncing with firefox is already enough of a torture.
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
This is already possible by using Swift Black or Swift Dark substratum themes.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
No one uses Substrat any more :)

I feel it should be native to the app all over and be consistent
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
I agree for this being a native part but beg to differ about Substratum :)

Hello,

There is an issue with the simple view. Even if the option is not checked, it's proposed
[Android Apps and Games] KaaMyA:
Symbaloo.com, perhaps?

You can use device/desktop versions as well as use tabs inside each window/webpage you create.

You can group dials in a folder, similar as we already do on Android.

You can add widgets at the center of the window, depending of your needs,it could go from a calculator, to a weather provider, or different categories of search engines, etc.

You can customize links, labels, backgrounds, icons, etc.

I've been using it for... Not sure, but about 6-7 years.

My recommendation is to manage/customize them from PC, since is more friendly/responsive than trying to do that from your phone, just in order to prepare them to your use.

[Android Apps and Games] hawkjm73:
Hello all! I've got a (hopefully) quick question.

In both Chrome and Kiwi, older tabs that haven't been in focus for a while get dumped from memory. This keeps the footprint down, and the browser nice and speedy.

In Chrome, when I return to a dumped tab, it re-loads from a local cache. Kiwi pulls a fresh copy from the net. There are several sites where that becomes very frustrating, mainly the ones that do the ever-expanding page rather then actual numeric pages.

Is there a setting or a flag in Kiwi to tell it to reload via the cache? I rummaged around in the flags, but nothing really stood out.
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
It would be great if it had integration with passwords manager. Mainly KeePass that is free, secure and open source :)

Perhaps the integration of the extension Tusk would be perfect, if possible.
