v0.2.0-alpha

Syptek v0.2.0

Find in page, a Settings page, smarter tab sleep, and a big round of ad blocker fixes.

✨ New

Find in page (Ctrl+F)

• A small find bar with a match counter (3/12).
• Enter / Shift+Enter or F3 / Shift+F3 for next / previous, Esc to close.
• Closes when you switch tabs, and highlights clear when a page navigates.
• Uses no memory while it is closed.

Settings page (hamburger menu → Settings, or syptek://settings)

• Free up disk space: clear the web cache, code & graphics cache, offline site files and ad blocker filter cache, with the size of each shown. These clear immediately.
• Careful with accounts: clearing cookies & logins or site data always asks for confirmation first, because it can sign you out.
• Web cache limit: cap the cache at 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 MB (applies after restart).
• DNS: choose Secure, Automatic or None, each with a plain explanation, and pick a provider (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, AdGuard, Mullvad or your own). Changes apply right away.
• Your choices are saved in settings.json in the data folder, so they survive updates.

Smarter tab sleep

• A "never sleep" list (tabSuspend.neverSuspend), so apps like WhatsApp Web and Google Meet keep running in the background.
• Tabs that were granted microphone or camera access are not put to sleep.
• When system memory is low, idle tabs sleep sooner (longest idle first, at most 2 per cycle).

Window title follows the active tab

• The Windows taskbar preview and Alt+Tab now show the page title, for example (96) WhatsApp - Syptek.

🛡️ Ad blocker

• uBO scriptlets now run before page scripts, so rules apply fully (fixes Identifier 'JSONPath' has already been declared).
• Cosmetic filtering is CSS-only.
• Network blocking rewritten: main-page navigations are never blocked, and errors fail open instead of breaking the page.
• Login, captcha and payment sites are exempt by default. Add your own with adblock.neverBlock.
• Pause the ad blocker per site from the context menu or the site menu.
• Popup blocking rewritten: same-site, login and paused sites are always allowed.
• Turning the global toggle off twice no longer throws an error.

🐛 Fixes

• Tab titles no longer cut off the tails of letters like g, y and p.

⚠️ Known limitations

• Ctrl+F is handled by Syptek, so web pages cannot use their own find shortcut.
• Find in the built-in PDF viewer has not been tested and may not work.
• "Offline site files" fill up again quickly for busy web apps (WhatsApp, X, and so on), so clearing it helps most for sites you rarely visit.
• $document rules from the badware list no longer block navigation (subresources only), and login/auth paths may let through rare trackers.
• Screen sharing and file uploads in progress are not detected by tab sleep, so those tabs can still be put to sleep.
