User reviews

The single best Chrome alternative on Android, Kiwi gets 5 stars by having no actual competition and by Google being a massive slacker and not giving Android users extensions on Chrome (which is the original reason i came to Kiwi). Kiwi has extensions, a built-in adblocker, and a lot of customization. One problem, however, is that you cannot transfer settings or data between devices, so make sure to remember your passwords!

Best. browser. ever. I've tried tons of other browsers & nothing comes close to the combination of speed & functionality of Kiwi. The ability to use Chrome add-ons/extensions is super useful to block ads & to optimize your web experience. Power users will love it. I have hundreds of tabs open & that doesn't cause any serious issues. I've been a diehard Firefox user for decades but I have to say that Kiwi is superior. 🏆

One of the better chromium based browsers available on android, and it has plugin support! I feel it is lacking some tab management features. I frequently have 100-200 tabs open at a time, sometimes in groups of 10 or 20 and as far as I can tell there isn't a way to enable 'confirm on close' for tabs, nor the ability to restore recently closed tabs and tab groups. Some other browsers do offer these features, but without plugin support it just isn't the same experience.
