XBrowser v0.2.0
XBrowser v0.2.0 — the AI-native Chromium fork (formerly Aether), now rebranded with a neon-X logo.
Full web browser (real Blink/V8/sandbox, not Electron) that any agent connects to and drives fast.
New since v0.1
- Rebrand → XBrowser with a custom glowing-X app icon.
- Live HUD overlay — animated pixel badge showing the controlling agent + model, and a metrics bar (calls, KB in/out, clicks, types, reads…). Per-tab, persists after the agent stops (live→idle).
- Action highlighting — color-coded flashes on what the agent clicks (pink), types (blue), reads (green), and scans/links (cyan/gold). Toggle in the badge, on by default.
- Fixed agent onboarding —
~/.aether/gateway.jsondiscovery file, helpful 401s, and a zero-dep MCP server (nativeaether_*tools). - Background/parallel control, screenshot any hidden tab, multi-agent tab ownership.
