It is much quicker than Google Chrome. On top of the speed, Kiwi also has a <strong>built-in pop-up ad blocker<\/strong>, and it also sports a <strong>crypto-mining blocker.<\/strong> As we\u2019ve mentioned many times, crypto-mining malware is on the rise.

Both services offer many cool features like downloads for offline viewing and listening; and exclusive access to singles, albums, and remixes. One of the most significant premium features, however, is background playing. If you subscribe to either service, you can have your <strong>YouTube music videos playing in the background while you are doing something else.<\/strong> Usually, this is impossible using the YouTube app or your web browser, but not with Kiwi Browser.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/06\/Youtube-premium.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">YouTube Music and YouTube Premium launch in 17 countries<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/youtube-music-and-youtube-premium-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read Now<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/youtube-music-and-youtube-premium-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Kiwi browser has <strong>background play<\/strong> so you can have YouTube playing in the background while you are working away on something else, or just browsing the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Other cool features include a Night Mode, which makes everything dark and there is an even cooler feature on the way.
