Blanc 1.34.0

Added

  • Kagi, or your own search engine. Settings → General → Search engine
    now offers Kagi, and Custom… for any search engine that puts your
    search words in its address, such as SearXNG. Paste that address with %s
    where the words go, for example https://searx.example.org/search?q=%s.
    It syncs with your other settings when Profile Sync is on. Plain http://
    addresses work only for this computer or your home network.
  • Kagi shows live suggestions as you type, like the other search engines.
    Kagi needs a Kagi account, and private tabs don't share your sign-in, so a
    Kagi search in a private tab asks you to sign in. A custom search engine
    shows no suggestions, so nothing you type is sent before you press Enter.

Changed

  • In Settings, the lists of sites that skip ad blocking or Dark websites now
    sit directly under their switches, in one bordered box, and every site has
    an always-visible × to remove it.

Fixed

  • On Linux, a page could stop redrawing and barely respond to scrolling after
    you came back to its tab: by switching tabs, viewing it beside another tab
    with Glance, reopening a closed tab, returning to a space or moving it to a
    new window. These pages now keep drawing.
  • On Linux, with Settings → General → Quiet inactive tabs turned on, a
    background tab that keeps data for the current session could come back
    frozen after it was quieted: it didn't redraw or scroll. It now reloads,
    redraws and responds to scrolling again when you go back to it.
  • On Windows and Linux, closing the last window with Blanc's own close button
    (✕) lost your tabs: the next launch opened only a new tab. Blanc now keeps
    them, as Quit already did.
  • On Windows and Linux, closing Blanc's original window while another Blanc
    window stayed open didn't fully close it: its pages kept running, and it
    came back with its tabs the next time you started Blanc. It now closes for
    good. Blanc also no longer opens an extra empty window after restoring only
    a second window.
  • Paste and Go with a search operator such as site:example.com opened a
    broken address. It now searches.
  • In Settings → Privacy & Security, an invalid custom Encrypted DNS address
    could switch you to a custom address you had saved earlier. It now keeps
    the provider you had. The error under the field now shows in red, and
    screen readers announce it.
