LATEST RELEASE

What's New in v1.8.5

Released on July 27, 2026

⚡

Introducing Shortcuts

A new tab that brings together one-click actions for faster and easier tab and window management.

✅

Allowed Sites

Keep the sites you trust always within reach. Allowed sites open freely, even as links from a protected site or while blocking everything else.

🚫

Blocked Sites

Shut down the worst offenders for good. Add a site to the blocked list and it will never open again — no tabs, no windows, no pop-ups. Silent and instant.
