Kiwi browser removed from google play store

Kiwi is a browser that came to the Google Play Store a year ago. Based on Chromium and WebKit it was presented as a lightweight option, which also had a dark mode and an integrated ad blocker. Little by little he had earned a place in the store. Although the browser has been removed from the store by Google. There are many rumors in this regard, although Google's explanation is official.

The company says that the browser makes inappropriate use of the device and the network. They do not allow apps to interfere in an unauthorized way on the phone.

These statements by the company contrast with those of those responsible for Kiwi. They claim that their browser is a generic web browser, which behaves in the same way as the Brave browser. So they make it clear that Google's statements do not represent the reality of your browser. There are voices that suggest that the extensions, which can be installed in the browser, could be the cause of the problem.

In its last update , the extensions that are in Google Chrome have been introduced in the browser, those that are on the desktop. Normally they do not work in this type of browser, but in this case they did work (it is not known how). And this could have caused Google to make this decision.

For now nothing else has been revealed on this matter. We will see if Kiwi manages to return to the app store, probably introducing some changes. Meanwhile, you can continue downloading your APK from alternative stores.
