That is pretty sketchy. Thanks for pointing that out! I've started using Kiwi as my main mobile browser after I got fed up with some issues I was having with Brave.
If you are really really in a rare situation where you want to use Bing and block Bing search ads:
kiwi://extensions
Press: + (from zip)
Load uBlock Origin
Finished.
Not that dramatic + auto-update works.
It would be sketchy to offer an out-of-the-box experience that blocks the search pages of Microsoft and Yahoo (they pay us).
Remember the fact that if a browser has an established and visible business model is way better than a browser where you don’t know how they make money.
With Kiwi, if you use Bing or Yahoo, Microsoft and Yahoo share with us the costs and the revenues (both ways).
Simple model and no need to sell crypto, fake VPNs, user history or whatever some others do.
Would this still result in creating unnecessary costs for Kiwi Browser? Above I believe it was mentioned that the reason these extensions were disabled was to prevent users from racking up costs for requests to search engines (?) with adblocking enabled
