long time no posting, here's some of the stuff we released in helium recently: - customizable keyboard shortcuts on all platforms - automatic updates on windows - frameless mode (previously zen mode), with floating sidebar, is now out of beta and included in settings by default - improved fingerprint noising: fixed the canvas noising algorithm and added protections against analysis attacks (thank you @cyyynthia_ for your report, research, and assistance) - tab URL copying, one or multiple, formatted as a list with line breaks - manual tab hibernation, with an option to hibernate all tabs except for selected/active ones - an option to close tabs to the left (or above, in vertical layout) - redesigned toast notifications, now anchored to the active web page, and no longer blinding in dark mode - toast notification about newly opened background tabs in frameless mode (can be disabled in settings) - redesigned the infobar, it no longer looks out of place - improved QR code generation, now it's actually useful - downloads bubble is now shown instead of the full page whenever applicable - kagi search now supports reverse image search from image context menu - frameless mode animations are now smoother - better color contrast in light and dark modes - a lot of bug fixes and other minor improvements all of these changes are present in the latest version of helium. if you're using helium on windows, please update to the latest version, so your browser can be updated automatically from now on!
