I dont like chrome or many other browsers. I need "text reflow" functionality that is the ability to resize the page (2 fingers swipe out or in) as quickly as I need to and the text automatically 'reformats' to fit the screen with no horizantal scrolling to read. Currently Opera does this. A great feature to enable reading on mobile phones.

I can do it in Kiwi browser and i.e.

"to resize the page (2 fingers swipe out or in) as quickly as I need to and the text automatically 'reformats' to fit the screen with no horizantal scrolling to read."

@HarborFront I just installed it and tried it. Wow. Text reflow is good. So is the night mode!! Been trying ##### load of crap FB wrappers (for lower battery drainage and dark mode)that were just garbage to upsell ads. Using mobile FB on Kiwi browser with dark mode is more than good enough for me!!
Loving this browser so far and its configurability...
