October 6, 2016
Today’s snapshot clears up a bunch of issues, with a particular focus on the URL field. There is also a “small update”, which will become apparent in the next release.
Snapshot 1.5.618.8 – Drag tabs between windows and performance improvements
September 29, 2016
In today’s snapshot we provide the ability to drag tabs between windows. Unlike other browsers you can also drag tab stacks and tab selections. And of course, the old method via the context menu still works for those who prefer it. We have also improved theming performance by roughly 400%. This also improves browser startup time! If you haven’t used themes before, now is a great time to get started.
