Would like the ability to "mark as read" by long pressing a group/entry. Other than that it looks nice, good work so far

Widget would be great too. I have been looking for a good google reader widget for a long time.

I'm planning to implement such feature. (Also, give a possibility to mark as read "on server". sometimes is usefull, I think)
So, I think it will be available in the mid of the next week if you are interested.

Now for me the first priority is auto sync and sync of pictures, but after that I'll surely implement a widget (but, maybe in pro version).
What do you like to include in such widget? A list of articles (for selected feed, category) or texts?
Thank you both for the feedback!

I am interested! Gonna try ASAP!
Thank you for your job, it's a great lightweight app!
I use it as my everyday reader for 1 week, so far so good.
I'll wait for the auto sync but actually I don't really need it!
Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your response.
I'll try to make it even better!
Here is the new version with auto sync!
1.0.beta3 was not very stable.
So, check out quick fix!
1.0.rc1 is much more stable now.
Also, you can just download JustReader from Android Market!
Hi everybody!
I've just implemented downloading of the images (view images offline). Do you want to try it?
If so, check out this version!
It's not very stable, but you can try and write here what you think.
It can be switched on in account preferences screen.
Next things I would like to implement are:
- possibility to stop synchronization process
- show synchronization status in notification bar
hello!
I use this new release for 3 days and everything works like a charm on my hero!

Thank you for testing pre market releases!
This is new version with
- sync status in notification bar
- some improvements in sync process (speed, stability)
- possibility to stop sync process
Check it out!
Also, I'm planning to release paid market version and to cut a little bit free version, also I'll try to add advertisment on the main acitivity of the application.
Everyone here, If you want, you can send me emails or private messages and I'll send you unlock code.
So, come back here when pro version is out. First 100 will get unlock code.
Also, a big job must be done to make the release really stable.
Thank you all again!
What about Google Reader by Google?
What do you think about new Google Reader for Android released by Google?
Do you think they will implement full offline support?
Do you like this new app? Why?
Just downloaded market version, and a few quick thoughts (I'll have more later)
Sync settings:
Maximal age of the post should be Maximum
you list a bunch of numbers in that catergory. I'm assuming they are days, but weeks would also be a possibility. If you could put 1 (unit), 2 (unit), that'd be great.
Main feed page:
I use folders a LOT in google reader. Usually, I browse by the whole folder at once, rather than the individual source (example, I might have android police, Android Central, and XDA portal for android all in one folder). However, in this app, I can only view by individual feed. If you can place an option under the folder menu to view all at once, that'd be great! By this I mean, I might be viewing an Android central story, but the next story might be XDA portal.
Edit: Just found if you tap the numbers it does this. If you can make that a menu option, that'd be great. I only found it by accident.
Overall:
You have a setting for article screen theme. Any way you can make that universal throughout the app? I like black text on white. However, everything but the article is still white text on black.
Make it so that articles that are read in app are read everywhere.
That's all for now. Looks really good so far. Love the swipe to go to next page option. Google official reader needed that. For what I think of googles reader app, I really like it. Nice UI, but no offline caching.

Hi!
Thank you very much for some suggestions!
What do you mean by phrase on top of this post?
Statuses are saved to Google servers each time you synchronize account.
You mean "instantly"? Right when you are reading?

I think a widget would be a great idea. I see you are planning to add it in the future and you were asking what to be included. I think the best way to do the widget would be to display "all items" that would link to your app when clicked. I also would like to see a mark all as read on the widget too if that can be done.
I'll implement widget for sure, but a little bit later. Now the main priority is stability.
Now, you can try one more beta version:
better offline support
bugfixes
some synchronization performance improvements
1.0 version is out
Hi!
version 1.0 is on the market now.
you can update right from the market or from the top post.

PM or email me and I'll send you key app for removing ads in JustReader (I need your Google Reader account name for this)
Next things I would like to do: to implement better and more intuitive interface and to listen for your suggestions!
Thank you
Happy New Year to everybody!
JustReader 1.0.4 is out now (update from the market) .
ui improvements
full themes support
bugfixes

I would like to thank you for using JustReader and make a little present - JustReader pro.
Send me PMs with your google reader account name (usually your gmail) and I'll send you pro version for your account.
Hi everybody!
New version is out.
changes are:
-present version works fully like pro version

I've published yesterday [23 nov. 2010] the first version of a scrollable news widget. This is my first attempt at android development.
I've tested the widget against Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher quickly and quite extensively with Zeam. It still needs some work (amonst other things: theming, feed validation, feed lookup, ...) but it is still usable -- meaning i use it.
Since version 1.4.0 GReader and news sharing are supported through Scrollable News Addons (paid app).
The addon has been unpublished as it won't be maintained anymore. Its features will in time be integrated into the main app.

Loaded it in the market but wasn't able to launch the widget or to use the configuration menu. It only shows a grey screen, although Menu button works in config mode..
I have a Desire rooted with miui rom 0.11.12
Doesn't work neither with Launcher Pro nor with the DEll Launcher..
Hi Berliner,
Thanks for testing this widget. That's weird. I got a few comments in the market console that report a similar behaviour. However i'm not able to reproduce it. The grey background may indicate either that the widget feeds cannot be parsed or that scrollable widgets are not enabled.
I use android-rome-rss the fetch the feeds. Perhaps there is something to dig there? What feed(s) did you specify?
Just tested on N1,ADW...works fine.
Needs a rss search of course...
But very nice, even like the widget
But I already use "AtomaRSS" which got a wonderful customization option...
Hi Rori,
Indeed AtomaRss is very similar, feature-wise. I discovered it yesterday when i opened this thread because xda suggested a list of related messages. Since choice is always good, i will maintain and try and improve this widget.
Anyway, thanks for trying out the widget. Truth is i'm a bit lost here: i don't understand why it works like a charm for some people and doesn't even load for others (as is the case for berliner). I get the same mixed messages in the comments and ratings. I still don't know how i can pinpoint the actual issues.
hey mate, awesome app, would be good if it gave a list (or used default browser) to view 'full' article - in my case the in built one doesn't seem to work, but that might just be a problem at my end.
Also maybe the option to have a limited number of words in the content area, eg. instead of having the full story have like say justa set number defined in the settings, eg. 15, 25, 50, 0(all)?
Other then that, I love the look, can basically blend in with any theme
Looks awesome, matching very well with the launcherpro widgets
Unfortunately it won't work on my i9000 either. The widget is there but no feeds will display (i tried the default feed + one other).
Hi,
short hint from widget dev to widget dev:
You should add the following code to your "receiver"-tags in the AndroidManifest.xml to allow ADW to automatically turn on the scrollable widget setting!
Code:
<meta-data android:name="LauncherMetadata.Requirements.Scrollable"
android:value="true" />
Looks lovely on my DHD, nice work
Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I hope i can solve the no-loading issue thanks to boombuller's advice. However what worries me is that i tested it successfully with the free version of LauncherPro (pretty quickly though). Anyway i'll add that to the next version -- hopefully pretty soon.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I hope i can solve the no-loading issue thanks to boombuller's advice. However what worries me is that i tested it successfully with the free version of LauncherPro (pretty quickly though). Anyway i'll add that to the next version -- hopefully pretty soon.

Hi Dodgylegs,
Thanks for your feedback, however i desperately need further intel to try and understand what's going on. Thus i have a silly question, since this works well for me. You use LP and did make sure scrollable widgets are activated, right?
The trick Boombuller provided works well with ADW (scrollable widgets get automatically activated), but not for LP. I have not yet published the new version though.
I like the look of this!
Any chance it can hook into your Google Reader subscriptions...?
Thanks for the app. Looks great, works great.
+1 for the suggested integration with google reader

Hey Champ
Yeah, using LPP. I put in a feed link, say http://www.androidcentral.com/feed and save - then - I get no feeds in the widget, just the title Latest News
My bad.... solved with the right link! Apologies. Great Widget!

I'm glad you worked things out. Feed/URL validation is indeed a critical feature that is missing. It is planned for a coming version. I begin to think that I should assign a higher priority to it because i'm wondering if invalid feed urls are not the cause of all the "grey widget issue" reports. Thanks for telling me this.

Initially i didn't plan to integrate Google Reader (i actually planned not to). But this could certainly be done and i'll consider it. However please note this is not on top of the todo list.
You should set up a paid version that does have google reader integration. I'd certainly purchase it and I'm sure many others as well.
I'm using LPP and can't get any feeds to show up. Even the default Reuters feed that came with the app fails to load any feeds so I don't think that it is a url issue. If there is a way for me to get you any usable info off of my phone please let me know.

Timetable is a versatile scheduler for your Android phone. If you have a recurring schedule you have to stick to, Timetable will help you keep track of it. Its simple, elegant interface will get you to the information you need, quickly and efficiently, with intuitive navigation and a familiar timetable structure. Setting up your timetable takes mere minutes, and it is intuitive and easy - just press + to get started!
Timetable was built with the Android Design guidelines in mind, and follows them to a tee. It's optimised for Holo and optimised for tablets.

Your application has not Saturday and Sunday !!!
But i've classes this days
and i like to add end time of my classes !
Looks good, but i'll make two suggestions:
1- A widget. It's really handy to have one on the homescreen so i can view the class room easily.
2- we can choose the intervarls of the classes. for ex: 8:00 - 8:30 8:30 - 9:00....
also if you could implement a function to import holidays from google calendar would be really good.
I'm going to download and test it. Keep up the good work
I had an end time until I realised the end time ought to be the same as the start of the next period. I haven't met anyone who has classes on Saturday or Sunday before, I might be able to add them in though!
Thanks a Ton.....works perfectly on my G2x, Galaxy Nexus, SGS2 and HTC Sensation XE......It's a amazing!!!
very nice.

in my country school starts from monday to saturday ..
and, your apps doesn't support landscape mode ?
Thanks a lot! Maybe to include a overview home page with an option to add additional notes about the day

An quick look page would be amazing and a widget.......
Awesome app for a student like me
Very good idea, but may I suggest allowing people to add sub-items or events under each class to list homework. If this was implemented I would absolutely use this. Keep up the good work!

It's locked in portrait mode for two reasons: It's not as useful in landscape, and people were getting weird crashes (the timetable disappeared and didn't come back until you force quit, which I've found still happens if you leave the app alone on the settings screen - it's some strange bug in the cursor object, I think). I might get on to making a landscape mode when I start working on the tablet optimisation, but that may not be for a while.
The weekend classes will probably need to wait too, I just don't think there's enough room on the screen to fit 7, or even 6, tabs. I'll implement the two days once I figure out how to use tabs as fragments, because then there won't be width constraints.
I'll start work on a widget first, depending on how difficult it is, expect the widget by this time next week, perhaps. I was planning on making it a premium feature, but since everyone seems to want it, I'll probably make it free, and find something else to be premium.
Hi thanks for the app i think its a brilliant idea and i love it so far!!
Just a request my school works on a 6 day cycle but we only have school from mon to fri so for example if mon is day 1 then the next mon would be day 6 and tues day 1 if that makes sense. I was wondering if there would be some way for me to use the app with this 6 day cycle?
Thanks again for the awesome app!

Found a bug:
When setting up you add activities. After this you build the time table.
If you put now a activity into the time table, then go back and rename it and press next again, the app force closes.
Just a little hint.
Anyway: awesome app.
Sent from my loved HTC Desire [email protected] <3
So it does! I'll look into it. Thanks for pointing me to the bug, but in future, could you email it using the "Report Bug" option in the app's settings?
Regarding the 6-day cycle, Bos1man, I don't know how I might implement that. I'll try my best to add that while I'm adding weekends and whatnot.
v0.8 will feature a widget or two, a slightly better UI in the timetable itself (with the current period highlighted), and a few bug fixes (the one Ditti4 found, hopefully, and also one I just found in the edit screen which ought to be easily fixed). It should be out by this time next week, we'll see.
EDIT: I've had a thought - I'm going to implement a backup/restore function with plain text files on the SD card. I'll pop some templates in the OP when that happens.
As for the bug with going back and changing an activity, I can only really say "don't do it" for the moment... I can't think of a good way to work around the bug short of deleting the items that you've changed the activity of. If that's a reasonable solution, fine, I'll do that, but I'm not sure it is...
Thanks appreciate u looking in to it

It think it should be ok.
And as solution for the 6-day-thing:
Maybe you can add the possibility to add as much weeks as we want. This would be enough for the start, I think.
And I will use the bug report option in the app in the future - but I didn't know that it is existing.
Sent from my loved HTC Desire [email protected] <3
If I understood Bos1man correctly, making it as many weeks as you want would require him to enter the same six days' worth of information 5 times in a row, which would be a horrendous bore. I'm sure there's something I could do to make this unnecessary. I'll need to think about it.
I'll be pushing 0.7.2 to the market by the end of the day (Australia). It will have a working backup, but no working restore. 0.7.1 is uploading currently, and features:
- Changed Donate button to PayPal donation link
- Fixed bug in edit screen with list flowing into buttons
- Added dummy Backup and Restore options in settings, they just make toasts
Nice. Will u add custom end time for classes like on Timetable? Here in Denmark classes are 45minutes...
Here are examples of widgets. Modded to have transparency.
No update link here? i haven't access to market !
the dropbox link is the old version (0.7-rc5)

TweetLine for Android
Version 1.5.1
Ergonomics, customization, and speed are the master words of TweetLine
Tweetline is a great Twitter client for your Android smartphones and tablets.
It brings you Twitter with all the new Android design guidelines, but compatible since Android 2.1. This is a very complete application with an awesome multi-columns UI which permits you to personnalize your Twitter experience as much as you want. Combined to a lot of personnalization features (text color and size, application themes for example), TweetLine is YOUR new Twitter client.
Thanks to the left sliding menu, you can see your profile at any time and keep an eye on your mentions (for example) at the same moment. This is very easy, smooth and beautiful. And you can display even more informations on this menu : the profile of other users, your followers and followings, but also your lists, global and local trends, your retweeted tweets, and you can also make search (for tweets and users) inside it.
But you don't just have a menu to make TweetLine your own application : you can add anything you want as a column on its multi-columns interface ! You can add your favorites, but also a search about a subject you want to survey like a TV show, a football match with your favorite club, or even about a new device that you want to buy. Lists are also available as columns, so you can really use them to select informations you want to read. And of course all the other kinds of informations available on Twitter.
The column manager give you the power to add, remove and reorder your columns exactly as you want, with a cool drag and drop interface. Don't hesitate to get an eye on screenshots to make your own opinion.
You can try TweetLine for free thanks to the free *and AD-FREE* version, and you can go even further with the TweetLine Premium version, which is available at 1,99 dollars (1,59 euros).
All details about the free and paid version of TweetLine :

--> planned tweets, to automatically send a tweet at a given hour
--> widget
--> and of course, all others features that may come in updates for TweetLine premium (I am always listening to your needs !)
Actually, the free version won't have updates for new features but only for bugfixes and other corrections. And at the beginning there are 2 main restrictions :
- you won't have access to your lists
- you won't be able to have more than 5 columns inside the app
All other features of the paid version will come in updates but you can be sure that I am very invested in the development of TweetLine and that all the new features announced will be gradually and continually available. I am sure that TweetLine can make its place in the Twitter clients world and that it has the potential to be loved ; at least, I do all my efforts for it.
One last important message : All great people who have supported the project by buying the donate version of TweetLine will receive the paid version of TweetLine, TweetLine Premium, just by making the update !

Nice, new twitter app with ICS design, i'll try it now & if you need to translate your app i'm here for ARABIC
Ah another holo design twitter app. Will have a go at this ^^
EDIT : Ugh, unable to login. It goes on a login loops. Hope you will fix this.
EDIT 2 : Close the app, wait for awhile and tried again. Works :
Time for some reply :
Change Subscribers and Subscriptions to "Followers" and "Following" respectively.
Move "Timeline" to first tab, followed by "Mention" then "Direct Message".
Probably smooth scroll when for example, when you press "Timeline", it scrolls to the top smoothly.
App crash when phone screen timeout.
The "Eye" image at the bottom left of "My Profile" page, the text is not English.
-------------
Really impress with this app. This could go far. I hope this app won't be abandoned! Cheers, dev.!
Thanks for report

Yes the login problem is kind of random but it is a know bug as I had written. I will change this wording for next updates
There will be a column manager in several updates so you would be able to change the order of Timeline, Mentions, etc
I dont understand your problem with phone screen timeout because nobody for 3 months detect this bug, this is strange :/ but I will investigate.
Thanks for your report !
Best Holo-styled twitter-app I met so far.
Awesome app, bro! Thanxs.

Hi, so I've been playing around a lot with your app. First, I love it, it's great!
I tried sending feedback via the app, and the email returned, as unable to be sent to that address.
I would like to see 3 things, if possible:
1, being able to select a certain time frame on a calendar day.
2, exportable data, even just exportable to CSV or a spreadsheet... Something simple, or if possible with the maps engine api, the kml data...don't know which is more complicated....
3, quick screenshot capability...
I believe these 3 improvements would make your app stand out among the current ones and any future apps.
Thanks for your time and consideration

Great app, some improvement suggestions
I just found this app, tried it out and liked it very much. There are a few things I would like to suggest that can be improved. Some of them are very minor, others will be more work, I guess.
UI
- I would love to see a German version, and I am willing to contribute the German translation. If you want implement this, maybe you want to put it on one of the community translation services on the 'net. If you prefer, I can also just send an email.
- Also, the German text in Play Store definitely needs to be changed. Let me know if you want me to re-word it.
- The format in the title bar does not follow the local OS settings for date format. I see 15-02-2015 where (in Germany) I would expect "15.2.2015" or "15. Feb. 2015".
- same in the "Log" page.
- Also, the "14-01-2015 was registered 529 places." is not correct English. I am not a native speaker either, so I can only make a suggestion. How about "14-01-2015: 529 places recorded"
- When I tap on a red dot, the date has an extra "y.", for example "14 Januar 2015 y., 12:34:13." Also, there should be a dot after the day (i.e, "14.").
- the three dots usually open an app's menu. Here, they open a selector for the map style only, and the app menu is part of the left slide-out. So the three dots should be replaced with an icon that indicates this is *not* the app menu.
- when the grey "timeline" window is open, I slide the marker through the timeline, and that works nicely. However, when I start sliding from the far left, I open the date picker instead. I think the date picker should open only if I slide in the main map window, not when I slide in the time line window.
Features:
- the "Start day of week" should be used from the system settings. I do not think there is a need to make it configurable in the app.
- biggest request, I guess: make it possible to see more than one day. Maybe in the date picket, add a way to select a duration?
- it would also be great if it was possible to "zoom in" in the timeline window (by pinch-to-zoom), so it'd be possible to get the time more precisely. That would, of course, require a way to scroll that window horizontally, which collides with sliding through the timeline as it is implemented now. Maybe scrolling could be automatic when the timelien cursor goes near either edge of the screen?
- also, it would be nice to be able to close the timeline by just fling it down.
As you can see, except for the multi-day feature, all my comments are for rather minor issues, which means that in my opinion the app is already very good!
Cheers
Daniel
Hi,
*** Join the Kiwi development Discord @ https://discord.gg/XyMppQq ***
I've been an official developer on the Chromium project and WebKit in 2007 and 2008 (paid by Google as part of Google Summer of Code).
Since the feedback has been positive, I'd like to interact with the XDA community to get feedback, ideas, or just give help.
I'm a big fan of CAF Browsers, but unfortunately, they are not updated anymore and this is one of the biggest reason I've started the work.
This is *not* a variant of an existing project. The codebase varies significantly but it's conceptually inspired by CAF.
The browser is still very much work-in-progress, so I really appreciate feedback and ideas. I'm working 4 hours per day on the browser and I use it myself every day so decent stability is expected.
This is a hobby project, and I'm looking for feedback here, so I'm cool with any kind of critics.
I can only answer outside of daytime (Europe timezone) as I have to work during the day to buy food for my cats.

Kiwi Browser
What is Kiwi Browser ?
- Kiwi Browser is a Chromium Canary that includes performance improvements and adblock.
- What's this browser for ?
Imagine a grumpy grand-pa, and that's how the browser should be. The browser should be forgotten and not go in your way.
No flashing stuff, no annoyances, Fast & Quiet.
If you want to add a search engine, just go on the search engine website, then the search engine will appear by itself in settings.
Features:
* Support for Chrome Extensions
* Speed improvements
I've added lot of crazy hacks inside WebKit (Blink) to get it running faster.
* Night mode
* Move address bar to the bottom
* Cookie acceptance
Automatically accepts lots of "Please this is GDPR, and cookie, and blablabla" messages.
It's not perfect yet, as many websites have added GDPR messages lately.
* Notifications blocker
Blocks notifications.
* Cryptojacking blocker
Saving battery and prevents phone from heating.
Try it on http://www.coinhive.com (you can re-enable cryptomining in chrome://flags if you really like it for some reason )
* Extensions support
Supports real Google Chrome extensions.
* Popup-blocker
This is not the usual popup blocker, there is an heuristic inside to browser to determine whether the new window should be opened or not.
* Adblock & Tracking protection
The browser offers much better privacy protection than Chrome and Brave. It blocks also lot of ads. Not really because ads are bad, but mostly to make the browsing fast.
* Android 4.1+ support for both ARM and X86
Note: On certain Android versions, when you uninstall an app, Android also removes your downloads.
Keep it in mind if you manipulate Kiwi (to backup bookmarks file) or transfer to another device.
Important things to know about privacy:
- No tracking SDK
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/search/com.kiwibrowser.browser/
- No in-app tracking / metrics
- No history collection
- Self-funded

During the optimization, the device (Android) chooses what processes to disable.
In this new release of Kiwi: Kiwi indicates to Android that if Android wants more memory, it should try to avoid disabling the current active tab and the extensions.
If the extensions are disabled by Android, Kiwi will try to reload them.

List of HTTP queries used in the browser:
- search.kiwibrowser.com tells you what is the closest google.com server (google.fr/google.de/google.it)
http://search.kiwibrowser.com/searchdomaincheck?format=domain&type=chrome
This is a speed reason, if you go directly to google.fr rather than google.com and then google.fr it's faster, and the browser caches this information
- update.kiwibrowser.com is to download the ad blocking list ( http://update.kiwibrowser.com/service/update2 ), yes it needs to download it from somewhere.
Brave downloads it from AWS for example. I do have the same: a text file with a list of filters
- suggest.kiwibrowser.com is a 302 to Google autocomplete (and DuckDuckGo for some users who are beta-testing Bang support)
If you change your search engine, even to the baked Google one, you won't get connected to suggest.kiwibrowser.com at all as far as I know.
At the end of the day, I need to send the query somewhere, there is no choice.
Whether Google, or DuckDuckDuck if you want Suggest, it *has* to ask a server somewhere.
You can turn Suggest off, or send Suggest to your favorite search provider by adding or selecting it.

Hello !
I'm not reporting any issue, it's just a comment to let you know that I just downloaded and tested the app on 2 different phones, and it works very well !
There is a bit less animations compared to Brave Browser or Chromium (or maybe they're faster), but it is a bit faster on a Honor 5C.
But it seems that the big difference appears on low end devices : on an old KitKat device, it is way smoother than Brave Browser in scrolling...
Otherwise, thanks for this awesome app ! The night mode is very convenient.
Would it be possible to keep it activated after closing the app ?
I mean, the app remembering that the night mode was on for next time you use it ?
Hello,
Thanks for the nice words about the speed :victory:
I totally see what you mean about the night mode.
The night mode resets on relaunch in order to avoid incoherence (half is in night mode, half is in day mode and that looks quite ugly)
I'm sure there is a way to improve that, once it's improved, then I can remove the reset
I'll ping you on progress,
Just tested it for a few minutes on my most visited sites. With adblocking on, theverge.com doesn't show it's site logo and navigation bar. Hope you could fix that. Thanks. Nice and fast browser.
Noted, I'll fix theverge.com during the week and update you (and also remove this horrible cookie box )
Hello, Google fvcked up full screen video on canary. It doesn't work correctly since months on multiple roms. It just fails to hide the nav bar and status bar. This issue is also there on ur browser and even though it's not ur fvck up, I'd like to ask, if u can try to fix it. I have a OnePlus One currently on LOS 15.1 Oreo. The screenshot is from the video that popped up first when I launched YouTube.com but it is like that on any website.
To get even more crazy, is there anyway to bring back the URL bar at the bottom?
I think I know what it is,
Can you go to chrome://flags in the address bar
and set "New Media Controls" (#enable-new-media-controls) to "Disabled" ?
If that works, then I know what to change by default
I closely followed development of these new media controls (I am working on gestures for media playing), and they seem to be very buggy so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the cause of the fullscreen not ok.
Note: maybe it's not related to media controls, but I strongly suspect it.
Let me know if this solves the problem,
Btw, yes of course I want to fix it that's a major thing
The more I read the answer, the less I'm sure it's the cause
Let me know, I'm very curious on that one if disabling the modern media controls solves it.
Otherwise I'll find a way to reproduce.
Extremely fast and nice :good:
I don't know if it's possible, but any way to bring this kind of tabs?
extension support like yandex will benefit
Nice to see another Chromium fork, especially from my own country! ?
I have some suggestions though:
1) Please consider open-sourcing the browser for trustworthiness and copying (the more forks we have, the better they get)
2) Do consider enabling the flags in chrome://flags instead of target arguments, that would bring an easy overview of what is already enabled and what isn't.
3) I'm not sure how much you changed the ad blocking compared to the built-in one, but the menu has an option "Hide annoying ads" - would it be possible to hide all ads instead?
Is there any way to hide the status bar.. As shown in the screenshots of the browser??
I can't begin to express how much I love this browsers. It is fast, really really fast, like puffin fast. I don't know what you did but its too damn good. I have struggled to get a good browsers which offers the perfect blend of speed adblocking and ui and kiwi provides just that. It didn't took 10 min to make me fall in love with it. The adblocking works as charm. I do have adaway for ads but the cosmetic filtering is what i wanted for ages. Really keep up the good work.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) hide annoying ads is probably cosmetic filtering, it hides the blocked ad banner its per site option like in brave. Not sure what you mean, are u asking to rename?

I don't think so, its mostly rom feature called expanded desktop.

If it really is what you claim it to be, yes, a rename would make sense too. For example, "hide ad placeholders".
Otherwise I expected it to be Adblock Plus-style where some ads are whitelisted.

fvck yeah
I'm working on that at the moment (along with Speed Dial and tons of fixes).
The main reason why it's not done yet is that during the switch from Chrome Home to Chrome Duplex, Google moved the code all over the place and refactored almost everything, so it's not just "reviving" the feature, but really to reimplement it.
It's planned, I have a very big (and slippery) phone, and I broke it because of no Omnibox at the bottom (my phone is more slippery than a soap bar).

I have tried, it doesn't render well because the space taken is huge, but it is on the list.
I'll upload some screenshots next week I guess
