New

  • Shield in the toolbar (Ubuntu): shows how many ads, trackers, cookies and fingerprinting attempts were blocked on the page, and holds every setting for the site in one panel: ads and trackers, cross-site cookies, JavaScript, JavaScript optimisation, WebGL, Google sign-in prompts, forget the site, canvas and audio reading, browser identity and the connection details.
  • Toolbar buttons (Ubuntu) for JavaScript on the current site, New identity (erases site data, cache and history, closes the other tabs and starts fresh) and Lock. Each one can be hidden in Settings > Appearance.
  • New switches: remove tracking parameters from links (on by default, with more parameters covered), block all downloads, block third-party requests.
  • Blocked pop-ups can be opened once without allowing the site.
  • Connection details now show the hash used for key derivation, without code numbers.
  • JPEG XL images, decoded by a memory-safe Rust decoder.
  • Android: the lock screen follows your colour palette.

Removed for security

  • Camera and microphone access for websites (getUserMedia), MediaRecorder and captureStream().
  • WebCodecs, WebTransport, the Geolocation API and the old webkitRequestFileSystem API.
  • New sites start with more than 30 permissions set to Not allowed.

Changed

  • New toolbar icons, and a light theme by default.
  • On Ubuntu, Iris's per-site settings moved from the lock icon into the shield.
