New features
-
Customize the quick tab switcher buttons. You can now choose which action buttons appear at the end of the tab switcher bar. This is configured separately from the contextual toolbar, so the two can be tuned independently. Look for the new "Customize Switcher Buttons" entry under Toolbar layout in Settings. By default none are shown until you enable them.
-
New lock option: "Lock on Startup Only". When protecting a profile, you can now choose to unlock once when the app starts and stay unlocked until the app is fully closed, instead of locking on every background or timeout. Find it under the profile's authentication settings.
-
Custom Tabs setting. A new toggle lets you decide whether other apps should open links in a lightweight in-app tab (Custom Tab) or as a normal tab in the main browser. When turned off, links and shared URLs sent to WebLibre open as regular tabs instead. It is enabled by default.
Improvements
-
Smarter address bar autocomplete. Typing in the address bar now also suggests completions from a built-in list of popular websites. This means that even on a fresh install with no browsing history, typing something like "git" will complete to "github.com".
-
"Top Sites" renamed to "Shortcuts". The pinned sites feature is now called Shortcuts throughout the app (menus, dialogs, messages).
-
Tab menu reorganization. The "Move up" and "Move down" actions have moved out of the "Hierarchy" submenu into a dedicated "Reorder" submenu, making the two concepts easier to tell apart.
-
Favicon sits closer to the address bar on the side rail. On the vertical side toolbar, the site identity/favicon button now uses tighter spacing so it lines up neatly with the pinned extension icons on the other side of the address field.
-
Disabled extensions no longer show in the toolbar. The pinned extension bar and the extension shortcut menu now only display extensions that are actually enabled, instead of listing disabled ones.
Bug fixes
-
Fixed broken navigation after cancelling an "open in app" prompt. When a link tried to hand off to another app and you cancelled (or the hand-off was blocked), the page could end up stuck or revert to the previous page instead of loading normally. Navigation now recovers correctly.
-
Fixed tab churn when assigning sites to containers. When a site was set to open in a specific container, the tab could sometimes be recreated repeatedly or re-prompt an "open in app" dialog. Tabs already in the correct container are now left alone, and the target page loads reliably.
-
Fixed overflows on the vertical side rail. Long tab counts (multi-digit badges) and nested tabs no longer overflow the narrow side rail. Nesting is now shown as a compact corner badge on the favicon, and the count badge scales down to fit. The "Two Rows" tab stacking mode, which doesn't fit on the narrow rail, now falls back to the Accordion view, and the option is hidden for left/right toolbar positions to avoid presenting a no-op choice.
-
Fixed keyboard/toolbar layout issues. The auto-hiding toolbar no longer clips content incorrectly when positioned at the top or bottom, and keyboard visibility is re-checked when returning to a tab, preventing the toolbar from getting stuck in the wrong state.
-
Re-enabled text suggestions to fix Gboard issues. Suggestions in the search/address field were turned back on to resolve problems some users had with the Gboard keyboard.
Privacy and compatibility
- Cross-origin referer policy now requires opt-in. The strictest cross-origin referer setting ("Only send cross-origin referer if host matches") was causing compatibility issues with some websites. It is now treated as an advanced opt-in choice rather than a default, so sites that depend on referer information keep working unless you explicitly enable the stricter mode.
