What's New in WebLibre v0.10.2-alpha-3
Alpha & Stable Can Now Be Installed Side by Side
You can now keep both the stable and alpha versions of WebLibre on your device at the same time. The alpha build appears as a separate app called "WebLibre Alpha" with its own icon, so they won't interfere with each other.
Customize Your Home Screen Shortcuts & PWAs
When you add a website to your home screen, you now have much more control:
Rename your shortcuts: You can give your home screen shortcut a custom name at install time, instead of being stuck with whatever the website calls itself. Great for giving shortcuts shorter or more recognizable names.
Choose where the shortcut stores its data: A new "Storage" option lets you decide how the shortcut handles cookies and site data when opened:
- Default — normal browser storage, no container
- Use an existing container — shares login sessions and cookies with one of your containers
- Inherit current isolated session — shares storage with whatever isolated session you have open right now
- New isolated context — creates a completely fresh, separate storage just for this shortcut — perfect for logging into a second account on the same site
Multiple shortcuts for the same site: You can now pin the same website multiple times with different names or storage contexts (e.g., one shortcut for your personal account and one for work). Previously, they would overwrite each other.
Better shortcut icons: Shortcuts now always get an icon, even for sites that don't provide one. A crash that could happen on some launchers when pinning shortcuts has also been fixed.
Unsaved Changes Warning When Editing Containers
If you're editing a container and hit the back button without saving, WebLibre will now ask whether you want to save, discard, or keep editing — so you won't accidentally lose your changes.
Smarter Text Sharing Into WebLibre
When you share text or a URL into WebLibre from another app, it now goes through the same routing logic as other links, which means it can properly open in a container or custom tab when appropriate. Previously, shared text bypassed this routing.
Shortcuts that were pinned without a container now correctly open in a regular tab instead of unexpectedly using whichever container you had selected.
Better Search When No Search Engine Is Set
If you highlight text and choose to search it but haven't configured a default search engine, WebLibre now opens the search screen with your text pre-filled instead of just failing silently.
Addon Store Improvements
Tapping a screenshot in the addon details page now opens it in a smooth overlay where you can zoom in and tap to close, instead of navigating away from the page.
