The first patch. A Home button that works, and seven defect fixes — three of which mattered enough
to hold a release for.

New

A Home button. It sits beside Reload, and Settings → Behaviour → Home page decides where it
goes. Type a bare address like example.com and it's stored as https://example.com; clear the
field and it returns to the new-tab page. Alt+Home does the same thing.

Fixed

Sites no longer appear logged-out on first visit. Third-party cookie blocking was comparing each
request against the page you were leaving, because a navigation's request is sent before the new
URL commits. Every cross-site navigation was classified as third-party against itself and sent
without its cookies. If sign-ins have been mysteriously failing for you, this was why.

An explicit camera Block is now honoured. Camera permission checks were reading the
microphone rule, so blocking the camera on a site that had microphone access didn't take effect
— and a camera grant you'd already given looked absent.

Downloads no longer overwrite each other. Downloading report.pdf twice silently destroyed the
first copy. You now get report (1).pdf, as you'd expect.

Also: Ctrl+9 (Switch to Last Tab) did nothing at all · Duplicate Tab and Reopen Closed Tab opened
in the wrong window when you had more than one · sleeping one half of a split view left a dead pane
behind · reopened tabs came back unpinned and at the end of the strip.

Known issues

Both are being fixed properly rather than patched, so they ship with this release:

  • Ctrl+N steals a tab. Opening a new window moves your current tab into it and leaves the
    original window blank. Workaround: reopen the tab with Ctrl+Shift+T.
  • Popups are blocked. window.open() returns null, so "Sign in with Google"-style buttons and
    other OAuth popup flows don't complete.

Installing on Windows

This build is unsigned, so SmartScreen will show "Windows protected your PC". Choose
More info → Run anyway. This is expected — signing needs a code-signing certificate, and its
absence removes the warning, not the safety.

Windows and Linux (AppImage) builds update themselves in the background; the update is applied when
you restart.
