Almost the best Android mobile browser, mainly because that it supports most Chrome extensions from the Chrome Web Store. Kiwi browser is fast and you can play YouTube videos in the background and without ads in it. The only concern is that this app gets updated very rarely and it's quickly become outdated now. Now it's with heavily outdated core at the end of 2024.

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. 🏆
