Release history
1.3 31 August 2026
- Stealth. Shift-Command-S, or the caret in the ring beside the Location: bar, folds the whole browser into the band at the top of the window: back, forward and reload move up beside the window's own three buttons, the bookmarks bar goes, and every tab but the one you are reading becomes its site's icon in a circle with the colour taken out of it. The tab you are on becomes the Location: bar, because at that size there is room for one of them and the two were always describing the same page. Point at a circle to be told which site it is, and a cross appears in its corner to close it. Shift-Command-S again brings it all back. It belongs to the window you are in and it is not remembered between launches: a mode that hides the chrome is not one to be found in by somebody who has forgotten they turned it on.
- The tabs that do not fit. The row no longer slides — what slid off the end was gone, and nothing on screen admitted it existed. It holds a whole number of tabs now and hands the rest to the caret at its end, which opens them as a list with their names on: a row of unnamed pictures is only navigable if you already know what you opened.
- The status row at the foot of the window is gone, and the page has the room it was taking: every page now runs to the bottom edge of the window.
- Back, forward and reload sit quietly. The three buttons beside the Location: bar are faded until you point at one, and each says what it does when you do — Show previous page, Show next page, Refresh page.
- The OORT Report, opened from the shield, is one piece of glass from the teardrop to its bottom edge rather than a panel of grey sitting in a frame.
- The Location: bar follows the tab you switch to. With the caret still in the box it used to go on showing the address of the tab you had just left, and go on showing it until you went somewhere.
1.2 31 August 2026
- Marginalia. Select anything on a page, right-click it, and choose Add to Marginalia: what you selected is kept in the margin of that site's bookmark. If you had not bookmarked the site, keeping the note bookmarks it. Command-M opens the margin down the side of the window, beside the page rather than over it.
- Bookmarks you can write on. Click the name or the summary of any bookmark and type. The name one arrives with is whatever the page called itself; the summary is your own line about why you kept it.
- Find in page. Command-F, with the box at the foot of the window. It looks inside text boxes as well as text, which is how it finds a bookmark by name on the bookmarks page.
- Four languages. The browser speaks English, Spanish, Italian and French, and nothing is asked over the network to decide which.
- The OORT Report, under the shield at the end of the Location: bar: what the page you are on tried to load, and what was kept out of it. It was called the Site Report before.
- Site icons, in the tabs and in the address box.
- The browser's own typeface, carried inside the app rather than fetched from anywhere.
- Your bookmarks, marginalia and history now survive an update you install by hand, including one installed over an older copy of the browser.
1.1 29 August 2026
- The first public release.
- Tabs, and a Location: bar that treats an address as an address and only searches when you have chosen an engine. Nothing is transmitted as you type.
- Ads and consent walls blocked by the browser itself, not by an extension you have to go and find.
- The Site Report: what a page tried to load, what was stopped, and what it kept.
- Local storage lent to a site for the visit and taken back when you leave, so the tally of what you have read does not follow you.
- History, bookmarks and a Personal Toolbar, kept on your own machine and sent nowhere.
- A choice of search engine, including asking Google for links only, so no answer is synthesised for you.
