Blanc 1.28.0

Added

  • Dark websites: while Blanc is dark, it can darken websites that have no dark
    mode of their own, from the first paint. Turn it on in Settings → General.
    It is off by default and stays on this device. The Island shield's new
    Dark website switch, or /dark-site, darkens or restores a single site.
    It uses the open-source Dark Reader engine, bundled with Blanc. Embedded
    frames keep their original colors.
  • Match site colors, in Settings → General, controls whether the Island bar
    takes on the color of the page you're on. It is on by default; turn it off
    to keep the bar on your theme's background.
  • Interrupted downloads can be resumed, or retried from the original link when
    resuming isn't possible. Retry reuses the save location you already chose.
  • On local and private-network addresses, such as a home server with a
    self-signed certificate, the certificate warning offers Advanced and a
    way to continue. The choice lasts until Blanc quits, applies only to that
    site and certificate, and is never saved or synced. Public sites keep the
    warning with no way through.

Changed

  • The start page has one shared frame for all four layouts: the date and
    moving-in checklist at the top, centered content, and a Customize
    popover in the footer for the layout and dynamic wallpaper.
  • Ledger is a centered spread, with Favorites beside your tab groups and other
    devices. Billboard labels its tiles with short site names on one row. Shelf
    arranges its tiles and cards on one grid sized to how many you have. Tally
    balances its columns and gives its chart a warmer tint.

Fixed

  • With uBlock Origin selected, a slow first install no longer leaves a new
    start page loading until it finishes, and a slow first start on a fresh
    profile has 45 seconds, not 15, before it is treated as stalled.
  • With uBlock Origin selected, the first page you open right after it starts
    no longer fails to load on a slower computer. For its first 15 seconds, uBO
    gets 10 seconds instead of 2 to decide on each request; nothing is let
    through unfiltered while it decides.
  • A Settings, History or other sheet whose page never finishes loading is
    removed after 8 seconds instead of leaving an invisible layer over the page.
  • The new tab and private buttons at the bottom of the Island panel no longer
    overflow on Windows and Linux in small windows or at 125% zoom.
