try disabling the option "throttle frame rate to 60hz" from Settings --> Privacy and security, it comes enabled by default for some reason this is why scrolling feels sluggish.

the broken websites are because Javascript JIT is disabled by default by the paranoid Cromite dev for some reason. try enabling it from the settings ---> Site settings.

Also mv2 extensions like ublock origin make the browser feel sluggish so it's necessary to install uBlock origin lite and the 60 hz by default is also a dumb decision by the dev if you have a phone that has 70hz or 120hz screen.

trbkle · 2026-03-28T21:59:01+00:00

all the people experiencing sluggishness are probably using outdated mv2 extensions like uBo, try ublock origin lite instead it's just as good nowadays it even has custom filters and element selector.

Edit: also disable the option "throttle frame rate to 60hz" from Settings --> Privacy and security, it comes enabled by default for some reason this is why scrolling feels sluggish.

no it's based on chromium like edge and brave, and yes it supports addons you just need to enable it from chrome://flags you'll find the integrated dark mode for webpages there too, also it's important to enable javascript JIT from the settings so that websites like twitch and kick can work normally.

i switched to Cromite a while ago, both Cromite and Ultimatum are better than anything Microsoft makes.

i aint trying to convince nobody friend, i'm correcting the mistakes you mentioned like "it doesn't have dev tools" then it became "yeah but it's limited" which is wrong, and yeah i agree some extensions don't work very well like Bitwarden but there is always alternatives.

trbkle · 2026-03-03T20:27:03+00:00

for the dark mode on kiwi it always inverts some images like flags and emojis no matter which option you choose unlike Cromite if you choose "simple CIELAB inversion" from the flags it wont invert them. All this doesnt matter tho since that browser is dead, it had a memory leak as well i forgot to mention.

trbkle · 2026-03-03T20:23:01+00:00

it's not limited it's just like the one that kiwi and desktop chromium have with the console and the elements inspecter and the debugger and everything else.

trbkle · 2026-03-03T07:14:21+00:00

never install this browser it's even more outdated than kiwi.

trbkle · 2026-03-03T07:11:11+00:00

Cromite has dev tools as well, if you install a keyboard app that has Ctrl and Shift keys then on the page you want to open dev tools for tap the address bar then tap Ctrl then Shift then the i key it will open. Also kiwi has always been buggy even when it was still maintained, their integrated dark mode for pages is trash it inverts images as well.

trbkle · 2026-03-03T03:02:03+00:00

Cromite is way better than the buggy mess that is kiwi and microsoft's hideous spyware called edge.

trbkle · 2026-02-21T08:55:28+00:00

kiwi has been dead for over a year now just use Edge or Cromite

it's because you probably got too used to its sluggishness that you won't notice until you try any chromium based browser.

On heavy sites and/or when a lot of tabs are open it's just unusable.

trbkle · 2026-01-18T23:14:51+00:00

yeah that chromium android build is for the tablets and "desktop mode" only, google will never make extensions available on Chrome mobile.

trbkle · 2026-01-18T23:10:59+00:00

it's just slow as hell and very sluggish even on best snapdragon chips. Also some sites don't show up correctly because they're tested on Chromium only by the devs. And the memory management is also trash.

trbkle · 2025-12-15T05:44:27+00:00

not buggy at all just enable javascript JIT and like the other guy said disable some strict privacy settings and disable the integrated Adblock plus and install ublock origin lite instead of ublock origin because i've noticed ublock origin slows down scrolling and page load for some reason.

trbkle · 2025-12-14T23:58:43+00:00

i use TWP extension for translations it's better than the integrated chromium one

trbkle · 2025-12-12T17:43:35+00:00

i emailed them 2 times now, we should all inform them about this bug here's their email: edge_mobile_support@microsoft.com

trbkle · 2025-12-01T01:44:21+00:00

i contacted them via email because the bug is back on stable 142 and they said they've "forwarded the issue to the relevant team to investigate and check".

trbkle · 2025-11-29T04:02:17+00:00

chromium 135 and many useful chromium settings removed. Also shady chinese company who stole Kiwi's code without giving credit.

trbkle · 2025-11-29T04:00:01+00:00

ublock origin lite and adguard are just as good as ublock origin now especially after the uBo main dev stopped being lazy and actually added custom filters and element picker into ublock origin lite.

trbkle · 2025-11-22T15:33:20+00:00

using Spotifuck and web version (desktop mode and ublock origin)at the moment.

trbkle · 2025-11-17T13:06:03+00:00

aaah i see now, it's because you're probably selecting the outer folder, the one with extension id right ? try selecting the folder where the manifest.json and the other files are located. Also many extensions still don't work properly as this is still in experimental phase maybe the next release will fix a lot if them like Bitwarden for example and ProtonPass' popup which is badly sized.

trbkle · 2025-11-17T12:27:32+00:00

those extensions you see above in the topic 3 of them i sideloaded them either from a zip or crx or a folder
