Blanc 1.29.0

Added

  • Settings has a new About & Trust section. It shows facts about the
    installed build, checked on your device: the version, the Electron and
    Chromium versions, the blocker's filter sources and, on macOS and Windows,
    the app's code signature. It links to the release, the verification guide,
    the software bill of materials and the build provenance, and can export
    diagnostics. Opening it makes no network request.
  • Intel Macs get every release again. Each release now ships both an Apple
    Silicon and an Intel build.

Changed

  • Blanc saves its settings, Favorites, history and workspaces in the
    background instead of pausing the app while it writes to disk. Quitting
    still saves everything before Blanc closes.
  • In a Flatpak, Check for Updates says that Flatpak keeps Blanc current
    instead of showing an unsupported-channel warning.

Fixed

  • With uBlock Origin selected, uBO now restarts on its own if it fails while
    you browse. Pages wait while it restarts instead of loading unfiltered, and
    the shield shows that it is restarting. After three restarts in 10 minutes,
    Blanc offers to restart it for you instead.
  • With uBlock Origin selected, a moment when Blanc itself was busy no longer
    counts against uBO's time to decide on a request, so pages stop failing
    after a brief freeze.
  • On macOS, changing a setting no longer briefly freezes Blanc while it
    reloads the Dock icon.
  • On Linux under Wayland, Settings and other sheets appear every time you open
    them, not only the first time, and the page underneath keeps responding.
  • On Linux under Wayland, each permission prompt shows its own question
    instead of the previous one.
