New

• Start page – your favorites as large tiles and recently visited sites with real page pictures. Hold a tile for its options.
• Wallpaper – pick a photo from Unsplash for the start page, shown softly blurred behind it.
• Web apps – open a favorite like a native app: full screen, no bar, simple remote controls. Hold the bottom of the clickpad for your other web apps.
• Ad blocker – blocks ad and tracking servers and hides ad boxes. Switch it off in the quick menu or in Settings.
• New quick menu (Play/Pause) – font size, page appearance, actions and the ad blocker switch on a glass panel.
• Feeds open in an orange glass window, articles open right in the Reader.
• Demo mode – Settings → Help: a see-through Siri Remote shows every press, great for recordings.
• Usage guide on six pages, What's New with a page for every release.

Improved

• RSS button in Liquid Glass – glows orange when a page has a feed
• Cookie banners are accepted on many more sites
• Smoother tab overview, red unread badges, closing a tab goes to the one on its left

Fixed

• A freeze while using web apps
• No more blank pages for empty tabs, no black strip after switching tabs
• No more "Could Not Load Webpage" when going back

📰 RSS feeds
