Zen Browser 1.16.2b released
The latest version of Zen Browser, 1.16.2b, has been released, offering a harmonious blend of speed, privacy, and productivity for users. This updated version brings several enhancements to further improve the browsing experience.
One of the notable new features in Zen Browser 1.16.2b is the improved functionality of the command bar. When an empty command bar is pressed with the 'TAB' key, all available commands are now displayed, making it easier for users to navigate and access various options. Additionally, the URL Bar command search has been optimized with a learning algorithm, allowing for faster and more accurate results.
Furthermore, Zen Browser 1.16.2b introduces several user interface updates. When compact mode is combined with fullscreen mode, borders are no longer visible, providing an immersive browsing experience. More icons have also been added to folders and workspaces, making it easier for users to visualize and manage their content.
In terms of bug fixes and changes, the development team has addressed a few issues that affected some users. The themed compact mode top toolbar is now back in place after a brief absence due to technical difficulties. Flatpack users will be pleased to know that symbols in certain languages are now rendering correctly. Furthermore, the mute button on collapsed sidebars is now visible, even when selecting specific tabs.
Another change worth mentioning is the universal enabling of URL bar commands across all language settings. This update ensures that users can access a consistent set of features and options regardless of their chosen language.
