This is a new release of Kiwi Browser running Chromium 93.0.4577.
We've changed completely the engine of the browser, improved the content blocker, fixed a lot of issues with clicks not working correctly, resolved a lot of white pages, implemented a new night mode (we are still tuning it!), implemented a new system to manage notifications, and improved the page loading speed.
If you run into any issues (it's a large application with lot of features) feel free to share. We count on your support
Kiwi Browser is made to browse the internet, read news, watch videos and listen to music, without annoyances.
Browse in peace.
Kiwi is based on Chromium and WebKit, the engine that powers the most popular browser in the world so you won't lose your habits.
We hope you'll love Kiwi as much as we do.
Note for power users and supporters: We have a Discord (chat) community where you can discuss development and share ideas: discordapp.com/invite/XyMppQq
