Kiwi Browser is an Android web browser that’s especially known for using very little memory. Thanks to a light interface, an optimized browsing engine, and support from Chromium and WebKit sources, you can browse the web quickly without heavy resource use.

Just like Chrome on desktop, Kiwi lets you install extensions, expanding what the browser can do. It also includes features such as night mode, history, incognito tabs, bookmarks, ad blocking, and instant translation across many languages.

Kiwi also includes protections designed to stop malicious activity on your phone, including mechanisms that can help prevent cryptocurrency mining (cryptojacking) from using your device’s power without permission. If you want a fast, feature-rich browser that stays memory-friendly, Kiwi is built for you.
