v0.1.3

A welcome for new profiles, a space constructor, a better History, and an important security fix.

Download: Sol-Web-Installer.exe (recommended, ~400 KB) · Sol-Setup-0.1.3.exe (full offline setup)

Security fix

After the floating sidebar was used, the next start could open websites, logins and extensions in Sol's protected interface profile instead of your browser profile. Sites now always open in your browser profile. If yours were affected, Sol moves everything back on the first start, so your logins, passwords and extensions stay where they were. Your previous profile folder is kept, nothing is deleted.

If an extension ever lands in the interface profile, Sol now cleans it up and restarts instead of closing on every start.

What's new

  • Welcome. New profiles start with a short intro, then bring tabs, passwords and more from Chrome, Edge, Arc or Zen, make Sol the default browser and pick a search engine.
  • Space constructor. A new space is set up before it exists: name, icon and theme, then Create space. It works from the floating sidebar too.
  • Smooth space switching. Switching spaces fades the theme instead of jumping.
  • History by day. The day list shows every day, and a click goes straight to any of them, even ones far down the list.
  • Your clock. Times in History and Downloads follow your Windows time format, or choose 12- or 24-hour in Settings → General.
  • Short addresses. History and Downloads open at sol://history and sol://downloads; you can also type them into the address bar.
  • Updates while open. Sol checks for updates every 4 hours, not only at start, so Restart to update appears without closing the browser.

Installing

New to Sol? Run Sol-Web-Installer.exe. Sol keeps itself up to date after that.

Sol isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen asks once: More info → Run anyway.

Tested on Windows 11 x64.
