Full Changelog: v10.16.0...v11.0.0
In first of this release...
The day has finally arrived!
After more than a year of building the browser in Japan. I continued to research how I could create a browser that would be used around the world.
As a result, I have met with the WebDINO Japan (formerly Mozilla Japan) community and gained a lot of information. This is all thanks to our users and contributors.
Since then, Floorp have been compared to various web browsers on Reddit, Twitter & blog, and we feel that we are starting to get some recognition and results. Currently, our goal is to support Firefox, and we are building a browser to fill in the gaps where Firefox does not exist.
Floorp fills that void.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Cubesoft, the company that finally donated, and other contributors.
πWhat's new in Floorp!
Workspaces An excellent feature to manage tabs! Workspace provides "Tab groups" function. Tabs displayed in Floorp can be divided into groups, separating hidden tabs from those to be displayed.
You can delete tabs from workspace & move tabs to other workspaces. It is also compatible with vertical tabs. This feature will be improved in the future. Give us feedback!
Native Vertical Tab
"TreeStyleTab" delete in Floorp 11. Instead of this, Floorp 11 includes native vertical tab. This allows functions that were only available on horizontal tabs to be used on vertical tabs. In addition, Workspaces functionality can be substituted for "Tree".
