TIL about Kiwi Browser, thanks for this, I think I could like this a lot. Firefox’s mobile extension support is extremely limited, so this is a breath of fresh air.
The only warning I can give you cuz it bothers some people around me is that it’s centralized and closed source. It’s also not privacy oriented. Other than that I like it more than Firefox in all respects.
That’s not my favourite, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I used Chrome for a long time on desktop. Thanks for the info, though! I’m going to give it a shot for a few days, and see if I can live without tab syncing.
I love that they have bottom URL bar as an option though! One of my favourite additions to Firefox Mobile. Will make the switch a whole lot more comfortable. Thanks, god! 😂
Hmm. I just message things to my Telegram “Saved Messages” and copy them on phone and viceversa. Then again I haven’t ever been able to rely on Firefox tab sync cuz it was buggy when i switched to kiwi, if it’s better now idk how much better it is than my method. Anyway I have tested Firefox recently for a few things I do like reading novels and Kiwi works much better for the same purpose today.
i.e. when firefox loses cache it kills a tab and it takes several seconds, like 6, to reload it, and it’s not as pleasant as the kiwi experience, which although it does kill inactive tabs to save memory/battery, it reloads them much faster and efficiently than firefox.
anyway i wish you good luck in your experiments and if you remember lmk what u decide in the end.
