Zen Browser 1.17.5b released
Zen Browser's latest stable release brings a range of exciting new features and enhancements that further refine the user experience. Alongside these additions, significant fixes have been implemented to address existing issues and ensure a smoother browsing experience.
One notable area of innovation is in the advanced preferences section, where two new settings have been introduced. The 'zen.urlbar.single-toolbar-show-copy-url' and 'zen.urlbar.show-pip-button' options allow users to customize their URL bar, giving them greater control over which buttons are visible. This includes the ability to display or hide the 'Copy URL' and 'Picture-in-Picture' features.
Another key change is how users interact with the site control center. Rather than requiring a mouse click and hold (or "mouse down"), the control center now opens in response to a simple click on the relevant icon. This adjustment enables a more intuitive and user-friendly experience, particularly when trying to drag links.
When browsing bookmarked websites, Zen Browser will now display a filled icon within the site control center, providing immediate visual feedback for users who have previously saved their favorite sites.
In addition to these new features, significant efforts have been directed towards improving stability and performance. A focus on enhancing the Glance functionality has led to notable improvements in this area, making it easier than ever for users to access essential information without encountering delays or glitches. Overall, Zen Browser's latest stable release represents a major step forward in delivering a polished and high-quality browsing experience for its users.
