  Windows %APPDATA%\Aph\profile (seed-once user.js + userChrome.css)

What's new in 0.2.0

Workspaces

• Window-scoped: every window owns workspaces 1–9 with
  independent tabs. Cross-window moves are explicit (palette /
  tab right-click → Move Tab to Other Window); arrivals join
  that window's current workspace.
• Jump with Alt+1..9 (was Alt+Shift; still accepted),
  cycle with Alt+Shift+]/[, last-used with Alt+Shift+Tab.
• Tree-style tabs are gone — native tab groups live inside
  workspaces instead.
• Dock pills, per-workspace container bindings, starred and
  pinned tabs with base-page reset, tab rename, manual tab
  unloading, and domain routes (#route in the palette).

Command palette (Ctrl+K)

• Prefix modes: > commands, @ tabs, # workspaces,
  b: bookmarks, h: history, a: archive, ? help —
  with fuzzy search and frecency.
• Tab actions: copy URL / markdown, clean URL, pin, duplicate,
  unload inactive, reopen closed.

Archive

• Park tabs with workspace + container restore, auto-sweep
  with staleness control, unified with the browser theme.

Privacy, profiles & defaults

• One profile everywhere on Linux (~/.config/aph/profile);
  an old ~/.aph/profile moves automatically on first launch.
  External links reuse the running window.
• Captive-portal detection on (cafe/hotel WiFi works);
  tracking protection no longer locked; first-run and Help
  pages point at the real site.
• No theme ships anymore — Aph paints its own canvas and
  leaves color-scheme to the OS.
• Preinstalled extensions trimmed to uBlock Origin
  (install anything else from AMO as usual).
• New-tab backdrop and Inter typeface ship offline.

Heads-up upgrading from 0.1.x

• Workspace shortcut changed (Alt+Shift+1..9 →
  Alt+1..9); the old chord still works.
• Profile moved (~/.aph/profile →
  ~/.config/aph/profile); migrates itself, nothing to do.
• Tree-style tabs removed; Bitwarden/SponsorBlock no longer
  preinstalled.

Install

• Linux AppImage: chmod +x aph-x86_64.AppImage && ./aph-x86_64.AppImage
• Linux Flatpak: flatpak install aph-x86_64.flatpak
• Windows: run Aph-Setup-*.exe (per-user, no admin needed), or
  extract aph-win64-portable.zip anywhere and run aph.bat
