:mute! true - Argument option to the pin command to force a pinned state, such as
:pin! false - Setting "followlabelposition" to control where the label of follow elements should appear
- Set command syntax to rotate between a custom set of values, such as
:set example!value1|value2|value3 - Setting "permissionusb" to list usb devices (default remains blocked, previously grouped as "unknown")

Changed
- Setting "replacespecial" is now by default set to "special"
- Default mapping
<C-c>will now copy in normal, pointer and visual mode as well - Setting "restoretabs" is now an enum that accepts different options
- Setting "notificationforpermisions" is now an enum that accepts different options
- Example configs to not include as much duplication as before
- Userstyles are now applied even if darkreader fails to apply
- Mapstring splitting to be more accurate when recursively including < and >
- Mappings for recording macros to be more in line with Vim, by mapping and unmapping them on start/stop
- Buffer commands to show all matching commands instead of the first one (especially useful for ranges)
- Pin command to better preserve tab order when using ranges
- JavaScript execution to always allow user interaction APIs
- Svg and "data:" favicons to be used if present in the list, otherwise still pick the first
- History page rendering mechanism to support large history files much better using pagination and background rendering
- Setting "guifontsize" now accepts a much wider range of values to accommodate interface scaling
- Erwic mode permissions to now ask for displaycapture instead of blocking it (Vieb default is still to block)
- Favicon mapping storage now uses a debounce mechanism similar to browsing history to improve performance
- Crashed tabs to allow navigating and reloading by recreating them as a new tab at the same position
Removed
- Action "openNewTab" in favor of ":tabnew" command
- Setting "clearhistoryonquit" in favor of "clearhistoryinterval=session"

- Commands "tabnew" and "tabnewcontainer" not converting arguments to a url (preventing searches from working too)

- Mappings being listed as modified when they were overwritten by the very same entry using :map
