Is there any solution to this? Perhaps i can add any extension to color the current tab?
I'm using galaxy tab s8 ultra android 12

I'm unable to install any extension. I'm up to date with play store version. And adding .crx isn't working either. Wonder if anyone is facing this problem?

Kiwi: chrome extension using zip won't load. device i'm using is an android 7.1, manifest 3.0 (i don't think this is relevant)

I found out, it was my fault. I'm using adaway and was blocking one of google servers. If you can't see any extension preview on the front page, that's probably it. Check your list of added hosts for something ending with googlevideo

Damn… where have I been all this time?
I find this the best browser ever made a week ago, and I love this browser.

Thanks to developers.

Is there a way to support these developers? using this browser now for almost a year and it is absolutely fantastic.

flo040, you could probably try to send Arnaud a PayPal donation to his email address, I think you can view it on the application's Play Store corner if you open it with the Play Store application; or you can probably ask him directly via private message.
I did not upgrade this application for a while, can someone say something about the Google password manager bar bug I reported earlier with the newer v107 version(s)? If not, I may have to give it a try myself sooner or later.

By the way, speaking about extensions, do any of you face a problem about certain extensions' settings not being persistent? Id est, the extension settings not being saved? It happens in my device with the extension Ultimate Enable Right Click ─ Allow Copy, although it may well be that the extension itself is buggy. Or maybe with uBlock Origin? Just curious.

Cheers everyone.

Installed Kiwi 107.0.5304.74 from Uptodown some hours ago.
Concerning the password manager bar bug, looks like the problem is fixed.
Mmm, the tabs are now quite small when lots of tabs are open, they certainly look tiny in my 5.2" Z2 PRO with “768dp smallest width” (225 dpi) setting.

Great job. Thanks a lot Kevin, THANKS!!!

 

[Barkuti]

Wellp, the other day while I was writing my quick update about the password manager bug I did notice some little issues which didn't seem important (password manager bar appearing for a flash when setting the cursor in this forum's search box, for example), but it certainly looks like the password manager bar bug is still not yet fully fixed:

Thanks in any case.

Is there any information about the status of the kiwi Browser?
The GitHub page of kiwi Browser SRC.next was updated in October of last year. The play store shows the same old version.
And so I'm wondering what's with this browser.I hope they didn't cancelled to work on this browser.

Abandoned (again)?

Abandoned (again)?

Abandoned? Google Chrome's current version is 109.0.5414.86, whereas Kiwi is 107.0.5304.74. This is pretty fresh in my book; even v103.0.5060.104 is fresh, in my opinion.

Kevin is doing Kiwi browser just because he loves it, and it is far better than standard Google Chrome. This is noteworthy. I love it too, with all of my heart.

I do not think there's any reason to complain just because this project is not updated every other day or whatever. Kevin has a life, like everyone else, and is doing this altruistically. He has all my blessings in this respect.
In my lightful opinion, the single most important thing about any piece of software is whether it works well or not, which is very different than having a higher version number. A higher version number does not necessarily mean better software.
I grew up using computers since the late 80s. In the 90s applications were updated “when they were ready”, so it could take years for major upgrades. There was not any sort of “update frenzy” back then, with the exception of slip-ups, of course. In contrast, nowadays many applications are being updated just because @#$% thee and I certainly cannot agree with this. They keep rolling updates while not fixing the bugs they introduce, which can be fairly annoying. An example of this is the Telegram application, which since last summer (last good version is 8.6.2) has a bug which involves incorrect operation of the cursor keys in the chat input field, which is pretty annoying for people like me who use keyboards with cursor keys (there are software keyboards with cursor keys too). I hope the ****e hits them hard soon, just so they are forced to fix the bug. End of off-topic.
The moral is that if you need your software to be updated faster than “when Kevin feels like it”, then install another browser.

And of course, thank you Kevin.

Now that we're here, I've noticed a little bug in Kiwi 107.0.5304.74. It is triggered when opening pages with a long tap or right click and selecting “Open in a new tab”, albeit only for the first time when doing it this way. The problem is that the site web address is not shown in the url bar / omnibar or whatever it is called nowadays, it shows “about:blank” instead.
However, if the “Open in a new tab” event is triggered using the Tap To Tab extension, the bug happens all of the time and the url bar always shows “about:blank”.
Here is a quick video I just shot showing the issue:

In it I do open this link from my mobile device, first with a long tap / open in tab sequence which results in an “about:blank” in the address bar, then again with a long tap / open in tab sequence which then shows the correct web url, and at last I open it again with a double tap thanks to the Tap To Tab extension mentioned above, which results in the address bar showing “about:blank”.
It is a pretty trifling problem, but of course it is good to make it known so here is a report.

Cheers everyone.

The latest GitHub release randomly and constantly crashing (app window just closes) on Nexus7 running crDroidAndroid-11.0 with BiTGApps-arm-11.0.0-v1.8. Logcat/dev-info attached. Would be thankful for any help.

Continuing with my previous bug report around a couple weeks ago, I noticed that when opening bookmarks with a long tap and “Open in a new tab” command sequence, “about:blank” appears in the browser's address bar each and every time:

Thank you for your assistance. When I select a word in the Gmail app and try to do a web search based on this word using the pop-up menu, Kiwi browser is not showing up as one of the browser options. All of the other browsers I have installed do show up. Is there a way to make Kiwi show up in the "Complete action using" menu?

When moving bookmarks, can you add [Select All] button?

You can refer to Via browser bookmark management

I have requested if it's possible to improve bookmark management several times in the past but to no avail. Probably it's not possible to implement in the mobile version. You can use "Export Selective Bookmarks" extension.

Cloudfare verification is not working, the “Verify that you are human” box does not appear:

At first this screen appears, …

… and then this one without the verification box. Cannot verify, of course.
Tested on Kiwi 103.0.5060.104 and 107.0.5304.74.

If using Opera browser (v71.3.3718.67322), …

… it works.

Just in case it may be of help, here's this unrendered captcha information I got with uBlock Origin:

Hope it helps.
