Today’s snapshot includes a history panel. We also include an extra visual clue when a website requests password information over a non encrypted connection.
History panel
The new history panel provides convenient access to your browsing history, shown alongside the pages you are currently viewing. Thus it provides a new and much quicker way to locate a URL you visited before. The panel also includes search and date range options, to make it even easier to find that elusive URL.
Passwords over HTTP
Sending a password over a HTTP connection is a bad idea, so any website that attempts to request this will now have the text “not secure” added to its site badge.
In addition to feedback on this new panel our focus is still on any regressions since the 1.6 final, so let us know what you find.
