SmoothBoost v2.0.0 — Speed & Architecture Overhaul 🚀
SmoothBoost v2.0.0 is an intelligent web performance optimizer that eliminates frame drops, unbloats heavy pages, and accelerates scrolling.
⚡ What's New in v2.0.0
- Smart Auto Heuristics: Automatically inspects page archetypes (media-heavy, canvas/WebGL, text, animated apps) during idle time and applies the safest optimizations without breaking web apps like Google Docs, Figma, or Maps.
- Hardware-Composited Scrolling: Enforces passive wheel/touch listeners and GPU layer hints for stutter-free scrolling, with built-in exceptions for interactive maps and canvas controls.
- Offscreen Canvas & Animation Throttling: Pauses hidden canvas rendering and offscreen CSS keyframe animations, dramatically lowering CPU and GPU load on multi-tab browsing.
- Native Tab Memory Saver: Discards background tabs after 30 minutes of inactivity using native browser tab discarding, safely skipping pinned tabs, active audio, and forms with user input.
- Universal Settings & Cross-Site Memory: Your chosen mode (Smart Auto, Balanced, Maximum, or Custom) applies seamlessly across all websites.
- One-Click Site Recovery ("Site looks broken"): Instantly disables SmoothBoost on the offending domain, clears its cache, and reloads the page.
- Clean Single-Screen UI: Redesigned modern, unbloated interface with crisp vector SVG icons and zero emojis.
- Reliable Update Checker: Multi-tier update verification with rate-limit fallback and one-click in-app update banner.
