latest release: 5.5.1
16 hours ago
  • new: new Firefox profiles (aka "Profile Groups") are supported in autodiscovery, as well as classic Firefox profiles; containers are also supported, so you can mix and match all three.
  • new: more release channels are supported in autodiscovery for Firefox (Developer Edition, Nightly, ESR). Hey @Iz-zzzzz from #132!
  • improvement: picker width is resized dynamically based on the length or URL and number of browsers/profiles (previously just number of browsers/profiles).
  • improvement: picker UI elements are displayed in natural order: URL, actions, settings.
  • improvement: toast will not overflow the screen if URL is too long.
  • improvement: added extra button in browser configuration to open data folder, helping to understand to what BT thinks it is.
  • visual change: "About" window has gone and system information is now just part of the "Help" menu, making the UI less cluttered; some indicators removed because they were not useful (CPU/Memory usage which you can get from the Task Manager).
  • visual change: "Discover firefox containers" option moved to "Tools", next to "Rediscover browsers", because they are logically close.
  • visual change: Added small "Rediscover browsers" button next to browser list for convenience.
  • bug: config for picker "icon drawing" display mode was not reading properly (reported by @lars18th in #166).
  • bug: incorrect default browser detection on some systems, fixed by @intisy in #167.
  • bug: "Contact" link in "About" window was dead and removed. You can always contact me via GitHub discussions or on the project page.
  • privacy: BT used to send basic telemetry on app start (app version and the fact it's started) and even this was removed completely, because I do believe in total privacy; there is also no automatic check for updates or any calls any external online services - you get application that is 100% yours, does not expire, does not collect or sell your data, forever; if you need to be up to date, I do try to keep winget feed fresh.

To install, use winget install aloneguid.bt, self-contained .zip in this release, or follow the full installation instructions.
