A new version of the Min browser 1.32 has been released, featuring a minimalist interface built around the address bar. The browser is created using the Electron platform, allowing for standalone applications based on the Chromium engine and Node.js platform. The Min interface is written in JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. The code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. Builds are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Min supports navigation through open pages via a tab system, providing features such as opening a new tab alongside the current one, hiding inactive tabs (which the user hasn't accessed for a certain period), grouping tabs, and viewing all tabs as a list. There are tools for creating lists of deferred tasks/links to read later, as well as a bookmarking system with full-text search support. The browser has an ad-blocking system (based on the EasyList) and tracking code blocking, and offers the ability to disable loading images and scripts.
The central control element in Min is the address bar, through which you can send requests to the search engine (default is DuckDuckGo) and search the current page. As you type in the address bar, a summary of relevant information for the current query is generated, such as links to articles on Wikipedia, selections from bookmarks and browsing history, as well as recommendations from the DuckDuckGo search engine. Each page opened in the browser is indexed and becomes available for subsequent searches in the address bar. Commands can also be entered in the address bar to quickly perform actions (for example, "!settings" to go to settings, "!screenshot" to create a screenshot, "!clearhistory" to clear the browsing history, etc.).
In the new release:
- A setting has been added to choose a language different from the operating system language.
- Display is provided domain of pages when hovering over the tab.
- The search in the browsing history has been accelerated and the handling of diacritics has been improved.
- A problem has been resolved that allowed scripts to execute despite being blocked in settings.
- Translations for Russian and Ukrainian languages have been updated.
- Builds for Windows systems based on ARM and x86 (32-bit) architectures have been added.
