using kiwi once i a while now (beside of opera) and i'm really impressed. when kiwi comes with speed dial and text wrapping like opera, will be my no. 1 browser. using opera since "forever" but it's time to change . . . . maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
I don't see webview.

Plus i've been having the same issue as the guy in the ss. It happens to me with chrome dev as well. I believe this has something to do with webview.

Can anyone help me please. I really want to use this browser
[Android Apps and Games] booci:
Is there any way to show bookmarks on homepage?
[Android Apps and Games] Octainebg:
can i get the old apk or new one with google sync on PM i just wanna use it, i want smth diffrent than chrome but thats stopping me from doing it
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
No you can't, Google block it
[Android Apps and Games] kaodd:
get kiwi.apk from yalp store
[Android Apps and Games] Mrxyzl:
Hello, i think the progress bar should be above the address bar when enable bottom mode.

And i know I'm too nitpick but i think the tabview animation is a bit too fast (which doesn'tgive a "smooth" feeling)

This problem still exists on Lychee
[Android Apps and Games] abhi03:
does anyone know how to import everything (bookmarks, history,passwords etc) from chrome to other browsers like kiwi? I want to use this browser but can not find how to import all the thing.
[Android Apps and Games] kvevand63:
Love this browser. The ability to move to sd card is much appreciated. No force closes to report, however need to reset Kiwi back to default browser after reboot. Samsung J3, Android 6.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Chrome canary is an experimental build.. It may be fixed in the next build
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
It's not just with canary it's the same for Dev, and beta as well. The screenshot I posted is from the play store. Someone had the same issue as me and the developer responded to him with some solution which seems to have worked for the guy.
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
Hello arnaud,

I really, really love your Kiwi browser and it replaced everything else for me.

Still, I'm missing some features. Could you add following?

1. Define custom search engine (like Lightning Browser, FOSS browser). I use Duckduckgo for example with many URL attributes in my search string. I can't use those attributes with Kiwi yet.

2. Could you add an option to disable the colored address bar? You could give users the option to set a static color instead.

3. An enhanced start page would be great. I'd like to see my bookmarks (including folders) there.

Thanks a lot for your great work and keep it up! :)

PS: The bottom address bar is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] RijuSarkar13:
Pls add picture in picture for YouTube in browser
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Enoshima:
For the 1st one, i think he already told everyone to add those pages manually.
[Android Apps and Games] Faithful4real:
You didn't add copy text link
[Android Apps and Games] vipinaggar:
why the colour of the kiwi in the heading is sometimes red and sometimes blue
[Android Apps and Games] abhi03:
Tab switcher function is always there. Left/right swipe on bottom bar switches the tab. Long press on tab icon creates new tab.

Better implementation of swipe up will be what chrome canary had in earlier builds. After swiping up, it can show home, history, bookmarks & downloads along with news feed and most visited sites like earlier chrome canary. See attached image.
[Android Apps and Games] steven360:
Perhaps because of using a different type of text, unicode, apple, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
True, now done, coming with next release:
[Android Apps and Games] suolrihm:
Honestly, a big thank you. I am amazed how much work you seems to put in Kiwi. I said it before but i need no other Browser App anymore... Well, i want no other to be exact. :p
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:

Hey there, I seemed to have noticed another layering issue on the OnePlus forum. This time with video links.
[Android Apps and Games] ticktock666:
Having a bit of an issue, my address bar is still at the top.

I've had Chrome duplex enabled from Chrome flags before installing the latest version, but even though that I've reset that to default and restarted kiwi twice to remove duplex, the address bar is still at the top, any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
Tried the latest version from yesterday and it still has the same issue with webview. I tried installing it as a system app as well and it didn't help. Every app that requires webview in some form, crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
sounds like something is wrong with your system. maybe try installing another ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Swarmadd:
Hello, very good and fast browser, and it's great to have "chrome home" back !

Just one thing, when adaway's hosts' file is applied, pages take time to open and it lags, even with "hide annoying ads" unticked (doesn't happen with brave). I don't know if it's really an issue but I think it's good to know !

Have a nice day :)

EDIT : I'm messing around with adaway's dns requests monitoring to see if there's just something to whitelist.
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
Apparently that's adaway issue new Chrome/chromium lags alot while using it no matter how small the hosts Brave must be a older version hence doens't lag
[Android Apps and Games] Swarmadd:
Good to know, and it seems to me that brave lags slightly just one time, at startup, in the 2 or 3 latest versions. And now that you've said it, I checked with brave without adaway and surprise... No more lag at startup ^^

So I'll just have to wait for adaway to update or fix it (or just try dns66 or blokada...)

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] dcjim96:
I think so too, the interface animations don't look as smooth compared to Brave or Chrome.

Can you modify the speed of the interface to be as smooth as these browsers?

Thank you for your work to further improve this great browser :)
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
Umm no. I'm on stock oxygen o.s. everything works fine when I use the stable version of chrome version 68. Someone on the play store commented about the same issue (I've posted screenshots a few posts before this) and the developer seems to have fixed it for him based on the edit he made later on
[Android Apps and Games] Carach_CZ:
An chance of moving address bar to bottom?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
That's correct, it's not your fault or your ROM fault.

I am releasing a fix in few days.

The next release is much more stable / smooth / nice in my opinion and will resolve that ;)

This is the whole point of "not doing anything" for few days (= taking the time to stabilize the release)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Yeah, Settings - Accessibility - Bottom toolbar ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Sometimes when I tap on something it registers the tap above my finger for some reason, reloading the page fixes it. Not happening on other browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
I'm a fan of the fast animation :good: goes along with the fast browsing :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I think I have fixed that one today, took me like 6h :|, do you have bottom toolbar enabled ?
[Android Apps and Games] naiyer4u:
Excellent browser arnaud

Here are a few suggestions and points of interest:

If the user closes the last tab of the browser, the homepage should open, instead of a useless blank page.

If there are no tabs open, both search and tab options on Duplex bar should remain enabled.

In the night mode, the status bar remains white.

The Duplex bar at the bottom remains stubbornly white in the night mode.

Keep up with the good work. All the best!
[Android Apps and Games] msmith1111:
I found the app a couple of weeks ago. It's great. I just started having an issue when playing youtube videos, if I switch tabs, minimize or turn off the phone, I have to hit play on the notifications. it worked before. I have a Pixel2 (non-rooted) with the latest updates. Not sure if I changed a setting or if it's a result of the latest android update - version 8.1 with latest security patch.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hello,

You're right :)

Next version will have autoplay again on background play
[Android Apps and Games] msmith1111:
Thanks for the quick reply and the great browser. I can deal with it. I wasn't sure if I changed a setting by mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] under1234:
How can i configure which adblock list that will be used ? Is it possible ?
[Android Apps and Games] 80s Baby:
Thank you very much for your hard work and efforts :) . I'm looking forward to the next release and I'm sure many others are as well
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Speed & stability, no other goals ;)
[Android Apps and Games] amin318:
Best browser for Android!

Please consider adding an ability to choose another app for downloading, like ADM
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] please, can you add/fix some things?

1. Fix chrome custom tab layout when botton bar is enabled

2. Apply night mode to settings and tab screen

3. Adaptive Icon

4. Option to choose tabs switcher style: horizontal, vertical or compact (default)

5. Hide bottom bar when scrolling
[Android Apps and Games] abhi03:
4. Can be enabled using flag

5. Bottom bar hides when scrolling
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
4. I already tried to do this and it does not work. It is always compact.

5. Not for me.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
To Chrome Duplex users, I would like your opinion (I personally use bottom toolbar only)

Should the top home + newtab + menu buttons be removed from the top toolbar (like in the current version) when Chrome Duplex is enabled or not ?
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Dammn that's hard work. Yes I use bottom toolbar.
[Android Apps and Games] thandiBear:
The OP says

"If you want to add a search engine, just go on the search engine website, then the search engine will appear by itself in settings."

However DuckDuckGo does not show up in the settings. Any suggestions how to fix that? I hate Google
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
You need to do one search for it to appear :) (or click their "Add to Chrome" button)
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Bugged Chrome Custom Tab and url bar not hiding in the scroll just happens to me?
[Android Apps and Games] thandiBear:
Done that but still no ddg in search engine settings. Am I missing something? Even clearing cache don't help.

In Firefox you could just long press any text field to add it to search engine list

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

I tried to add other search engines like yahoo, Bing and it works. However I'm unable to add DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo does have an add to Chrome button that instructs you to go to search settings and add, but that's apparently not working.

Anyone else managed to add DuckDuckGo?
[Android Apps and Games] Faithful4real:
Please can you add turbo mode to make website load faster and save data like puffin browser
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
"Its fast but make it faster" :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

It worked for me. Perhaps try reinstalling. I did add to Chrome and it was there
[Android Apps and Games] teostar:
All at the bottom.. :svetius: I made suggestion few pages back not sure if u saw it. Is it possible to move the 'speed dial' tabs to the bottom half of the page to make it easier for one-handed use?
[Android Apps and Games] thandiBear:
I reinstalled kiwi and installed Chrome. I could add DuckDuckGo to Chrome but not to kiwi. Strange:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
no issues here. don't need chrome installed.

so you go to duckduckgo.com. bottom of page hit add duckduck to chrome and its not in search?

weird :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
I have been able to reproduce it, if you do few refresh it works.

Since it is happening only with DDG I suspect it is a bug on their side but I don't think it is intentional because they don't declare themselves as search engine to Chrome either, and sometimes they do!

Since Startpage is still not working as well I will do a workaround "if recently visited duckduckgo or Startpage then put them in the list" and will reach out to DDG.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
First, thanks for this amazing browser. Surely the best browser I've used in android.

However, I have a small problem. I use the bottom toolbar option. The thing is, it seems that the setting is also applied in android webview. So sometimes when I try to download something, I can't confirm because the button is unaccessible because the address bar (see screenshot for example). It's not that bad because I can choose to open the page in the browser, but it would be great if I could accept it directly in webview without opening browser.

Thanks

Edit: for unknown reason, I can't upload screenshot. So I upload it to my drive.

Is there any way you could remove the Facebook tracking build it?

I checked it out at https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/reports/12217/ and I've not logged into any sites let alone facebut yet it states there's facebook tracking in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I have the issue that Kiwi is crashing when I try to open a link from another App like Talon, WhatApp and so on.
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
Do you have duplex enabled? Had the same problem that's gone when I disabled duplex.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
exactly! Problem solved :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
i've already suggested him to remove it. let's wait & see if it's done in next build.
[Android Apps and Games] ApollosRage:
Very nice Browser have been using it for a few weeks, just one thing that's needed as a small feature and that's whenever I start the browser I want to be immediately in Icognito mode but apart from that, good job Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] chopoLet:
Make the icon adaptive please. My ocd is tingling :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
I'm waiting for that too! Browser is something that gets in my launcher dock and Kiwi is the only one that does not have an Adaptive Icon :(
[Android Apps and Games] eliezerjk90:
If you use android 7 or newer, you can long press the app and it will show "open incognito tab" option
[Android Apps and Games] qiaamei:
hope that when I choose night mode, the menu is also black

[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
First, thank you for this amazing browser, it is the best browser experience I've had on Android! I support the idea mentioned already for gesture / pie controls if you have the time to work on it.
[Android Apps and Games] saironjay:
Feature request: Can you add a "button" to quickly go to the top of the page just like Samsung Internet Browser? Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] protheusDK:
You may find a solution, looking at the code of this webextension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/

When night mode is on, menu and context menu should go dark too. Thanks and Happy coding.
[Android Apps and Games] alreadyregistered:
Hello. The only thing is missing from.that awesome browser is favourites icons as home page instead of most viewed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Fixed in upcoming release (Macadamia) ;)

It was a tricky one, they use at least 2 checks to detect the adblocker.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Thanks for sharing, in fact, the night mode has greatly improved since the moment I've told you I was scared to click on a white website but for sure I'll take a look ;)

This is helpful :)
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Understood. I have fixed it in the upcoming release.
[Android Apps and Games] Android450:
HI just wanted to check if you saw this
[Android Apps and Games] BigBrosMo:
Yeah i am having a layering issue too I think. Some sites video links dont work. You tap and it does nothing. Regular links work, but not the video. Or a context menu comes up but you can't tap anything.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Can you share with me an example ?

Usually when this happens it's because of the popup blocker
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hello,

A new release of Kiwi is now available.

I've tried to pack as much things as I could from user requests here, I couldn't do everything but progressively it's coming :)

There is now an adaptive icon but not only, the changes are actually very deep. I have spent few nights trying to figure out how to improve the speed and stability.

On some devices the speed changes are really really significant and largely outperforms Chrome Canary.

I have carefully tested this version, if you have any instability, please let me know.

Version Macadamia (July 14, 2018)

Thank you for spreading the word about Kiwi! More surprises, features and fixes to come.

This new release contains really significant speed improvements, uses less battery and videos continue to play in the background.

- Improv.: Browsing is very fast

- Improv.: Stability & battery usage

- Improv.: Background videos now autoplay when screen is locked

- Improv.: Adaptive icon

- Change: All top toolbar buttons are displayed when Duplex is on

- Fix: Content filter (Disqus login, and more)

Arnaud.
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
One note: I have seen a crash when doing Share -> Print, if you are able to catch it on your device let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] MiliWanili:
Last update works better, zoom is working again. Still get two bugs tho: show simplified view suggestion and some Web pages not working (model mayhem).

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ncristian:
No crash here, LeEco Le Pro 3 X720 (Snapdragon 821)

Edit: imho, when the bottom toolbar is enabled, the open tab list should be on the bottom too because you actually lose the advantage of not going to the top with fingers.
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
haven't faced any crash while doing it. but i just want to ask what the heck did you do with this update man!?! all the pages now loads freaking fast! everything is smooth & awesome!! kudos to you for your continuous contribution to make this browser super fluid.

now for some feature request, can you implement the functionalities of https everywhere, ClearURLs & remove redirect of these mozilla firefox addons into this browser please? it would be very helpful with these addons functionalities to have on this browser.

last of all, a cosmetic bug which hasn't been solved that i reported earlier. when switching to tab view, the home page shows a thin white line on dark mode. ss attached.

p.s. i can see that the trackers in the app are not yet removed. i am requesting you to remove those trackers asap.
[Android Apps and Games] :
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] The adblock is working great ,but when i turn off the adblock ..the ads are still blocked.I dont have any hosts installed on phone.It makes very difficult to open websites which contain adblock warning.

[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
Hi,

Do you know what you did to get the crash or what you were doing at the time ?
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
It happens on the background, so I have a feeling it is related to WebViews or Chrome Custom Tabs. Other than that, I'm not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] lazostat:
Can you make tab layout be like Samsung browser? Is it possible? I never liked Chrome based tabbing style..
[Android Apps and Games] Mrxyzl:
[MENTION=9196003]arnaud42[/MENTION] thanks for another update. I have a few suggestion here. First is the location of new tab button in the tab overview which is currently at the bottom left (in the bottom toolbar mode) which is not convenient for one hand use at all. I suggest to move it in the middle, or make a floating button for it. Second is the progress bar location when using the bottom toolbar. I think it should be above the bar. And another thing is the animation switching to and from tab overview, it's just too fast that it doesn't feel smooth at all.
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Awesome update thank you so much!

But I'm still have the scrolling problem. My toolbar never hides in the scroll.

And tabs design is always in accessible mode. I just have tabs in the form of cards through gestures. :(

EDIT: I've many FC with Kiwi in background. Maybe because I installed the apk from XDA Labs on my arm64 device?

I read that it is ARM only, that's armv7?
[Android Apps and Games] arnaud42:
No it's fine, it's because of a bug, I'm trying to figure out what is the cause of the FC.

Fortunately, I have managed to find a way to reproduce it, so in few hours they'll be gone :)
