The code is licensed under Apache 2.0. 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 next to the current one, hiding inactive tabs (which the user has not accessed for a certain amount of time), grouping tabs, and viewing all tabs as a list. There are tools to create lists of deferred tasks/links for future reading, as well as a bookmarking system with full-text search support. The browser includes an ad-blocking system (using the ) and code to track visitors, with the option to disable image and script loading.
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:
- Transition to a new format for storing history has been made (the conversion is executed automatically on first launch after the update);
- The ability to group bookmarks using tags has been added. Tags can be added both when creating a new bookmark and when attaching them to existing bookmarks. When displaying bookmarks, filtering by tags is available. In addition to tags, there are functions for importing (!importbookmarks) and exporting (!exportbookmarks) bookmarks.
- The option to set Min as the default browser in Windows has been provided, along with a dialog for setting Min as the default browser in Linux.
- A build for Raspbian has been added.
- A mode to display the Min window above other windows has been added.
- Support for websites in reader mode has been expanded.
