Spindle for Browser 0.1.5, for Chrome, Edge and Brave, built from this tag by the browser release workflow.

What's new in 0.1.5

  • Run on my host. Connect your Spindle host in Settings with one click (the host's own page asks you to allow it), then move a thread there from its menu: it runs on the host's model sign-in and sandbox, keeps going with Chrome closed, and still uses this browser's page tools while it is open. Bring back to this browser returns it. Moves resume after a crash on either side and never leave two live copies.
  • Before acting. Settings, Pages: Full (the default) acts without asking; Auto asks before anything that sends, submits, pays or deletes; Ask asks before every click, key and page it opens.
  • A site's secret header. A site your scripts may call can carry an API token, sealed with your keys, added only to requests to that address and redacted from whatever comes back. Scripts never see it.
  • Stop, then say what to do. Stopping a running command keeps it as stopped, with what it printed, and it never runs again; your reply goes on with the turn.
  • Clearer failures. A reply that cannot be read now says why. Replies from OpenAI API reasoning models (GPT-6, GPT-5.6) no longer fail at their last event.
  • Models. The ChatGPT list holds only the models ChatGPT serves to a signed-in account; GPT-4.1 and GPT-4o take only the default effort; reasoning off works on GPT-6 Sol and Luna.
  • Dim is the new dark theme, and in Edge, Brave or Opera the panel uses that browser's name.

Install (Chrome, Edge or Brave, Chromium 116 or later, on desktop):

  1. Download spindle-browser-0.1.5.zip and unzip it into a folder you will keep.
  2. Open chrome://extensions (in Edge, edge://extensions; in Brave, brave://extensions), turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and choose that folder.
  3. Pin Spindle, open its panel, and in Settings add a key or Sign in.

Update: unzip the new version over the same folder and click Reload on Spindle's card in the extensions page. The browser names an unpacked extension by its folder, so a different folder is a separate install with its own threads.

This build runs commands in the browser Linux on v86. The faster wasm Linux is in builds made from source with SPINDLE_WASM_LINUX (docs/browser-linux.md).

Verify: sha256sum -c spindle-browser-0.1.5.zip.sha256, or gh attestation verify spindle-browser-0.1.5.zip -R SiliconState/Spindle.

The zip's THIRD-PARTY.md lists the other software it carries, with licenses and sources.
