For android users, Kiwi Browser is an open source browser based on Chromium, Google's open source version of Chrome. It is one of the very few browsers that fully support extensions on mobile.

  • Install: From the kiwi browser, follow the Desktop installation instruction from above to install Smooth Reader.
  • Sign in: Once installed, you can quickly access the Smooth Reader options from the bottom of the main menu by tapping the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the browser window and scroll to the very bottom.

For iOS users, Orion Browser from Kagi uses the same underlying technology as Safari but supports Chrome extensions.

  • Allow Chrome extensions: From your Orion browser, click the three dots in the bottom right corner, and select "Settings" from the menu. Scroll down to the bottom, find the "EXTENSIONS" section, and select "Chrome" to allow installation of Chrome extensions.
  • Install: From the Orion browser, go to the Smooth Reader Chrome webstore page and click "Add to Orion".
  • Sign in: First, go to your SRW account page, and make sure you have an active membership (there is a free 1-month Test membership offer for new users). Click "Get API Key" from the Membership section, and follow the instructions to copy the API key. Then, open the Orion browser main menu, and tap the Smooth Reader link from the very top of the main menu. Tap the white profile icon at the top right corner and choose "Sign in via API Key", and paste in the API key, confirm.

Important

Please make sure that you have disabled automatic translation of Chinese (Simplified) in Chrome, otherwise it can interfere with Smooth Reader and lead to random quality issues. You can disable automatic translation at chrome://settings/languages.
