Fixed: links and shares could silently fail to open on a cold start
If WebLibre wasn't already running and you tapped a link in another app, shared something into WebLibre, or used a home-screen shortcut, that action could get lost while the app was still starting up — nothing would happen, with no error. This is now fixed: those launches are reliably held and delivered once the app is ready.
Fixed: dismissing the "Open in another app?" prompt
When a link could open in another app, WebLibre asks whether to open it there or stay in the browser. Previously, closing that prompt without making a choice (tapping outside it or pressing Back) was quietly treated the same as tapping "No" — it could still change what page you saw, and in some cases your dismissal got remembered as a permanent decision for that site. Now, closing the prompt without answering truly does nothing: no page changes, and nothing is remembered for next time.
New: choose where the Home page search bar sits
You can now control where the search bar appears on the Home page, in Settings → Home:
- Follow the tab bar (default) – automatically sits on the same edge as your tab bar, so it stays within thumb's reach
- Top of the home page – a search bar pinned above your home sections
- In the tab bar – uses the tab bar's own address field instead of showing a separate bar
When the search bar is placed in the tab bar, it now also gets the QR-code scan and voice-search buttons that were previously only available on the Home page's search bar.
New: QR scan and voice search as customizable toolbar buttons
The QR-code scanner and voice search can now be added to your browser toolbar (via toolbar customization) so they're available even while a page is open, not just from the Home page.
Changed: default rendering engine reverted to the classic (Skia) renderer
The previous alpha briefly made the newer "Impeller" graphics engine the default. After further testing turned up issues, both the stable and alpha builds are back to the classic renderer by default. A separate Impeller comparison build remains available for anyone who wants to help test it side-by-side.
