It’s great to know that you can browse with ease, knowing that your Kiwi Browser will take care of ads and with the Powerful Ad and Pop-Up Blocker. You can even choose to make desktop sites, as the default you opt for. I particularly am a fan of the dark theme for the UI and also for the websites. This did not slow down my phone’s performance either. The one other thing that I noticed was that there is no lag for websites, given that I had installed a couple of my Chrome extensions. For sure Kiwi can’t control this, but it’s a shame that it interrupts an otherwise seamless integration. Hence navigation on the page, from your phone can be cumbersome. It is a different topic that the Chrome Web Store does not have a mobile-friendly design.

Kiwi is an amazing browser and one of the reasons is that it supports Chrome extensions that are available at the Chrome Web Store.

Overall, the aim is to give the user peace of mind, making browsing a safe experience, and using a fast browser that has minimal distractions. This new platform gives us the freedom to customize the browser as per our requirements. Perhaps this is why tracking and ad blockers play a major role in Kiwi’s features. I can reiterate at this point that Kiwi is one of the easiest browsers I have used and the founder Arnaud Granal and his team, has put in much effort to fix the limitations and invasiveness of existing browsers. To close a tab, you can either ‘Swipe Left or Right’ in the switcher. Simply ‘swipe down’ on the address bar and get onto the tab switcher. Added to the settings is the ‘Swipe Support’ that allows you to navigate easily.

Very big-screened smartphones add a certain strain to your fingers, and if the UI x UX can look into solving this major problem, then it’s a step in the right direction. One of the reasons why you may want the toolbar always on-screen is if you have a large screen and keeping the address bar always handy it is a good idea.
