Web browser available Min 1.10

Published web browser release Min 1.10, which offers a minimalistic interface built around manipulating the address bar. Browser built using the platform Electron, which allows you to create stand-alone applications based on the Chromium engine and the Node.js platform. Min's interface is written in JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Code spreads licensed under Apache 2.0. Builds are generated for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Min supports navigating open pages through a system of tabs, providing features such as opening a new tab next to the current tab, hiding unused tabs (that the user hasn't accessed in a while), grouping tabs, and viewing all tabs as a list. There are tools for building lists of pending tasks / links to read in the future, as well as a bookmark system with support for full-text search. The browser has a built-in ad blocking system (according to the list EasyList) and code for tracking visitors, it is possible to disable the loading of images and scripts.

Min's central control is the address bar, through which you can send queries to a search engine (DuckDuckGo by default) and search the current page. As you type in the address bar, as you type, a summary of information relevant to the current query is generated, such as a link to a Wikipedia article, a selection of bookmarks and browsing history, and recommendations from the DuckDuckGo search engine. Each page opened in the browser is indexed and becomes available for subsequent search in the address bar. You can also enter commands in the address bar to quickly perform operations (for example, "!settings" - go to settings, "!screenshot" - create a screenshot, "!clearhistory" - clear browsing history, etc.).

In the new release:

  • In Reader Mode, the accuracy of determining the parts of a document to be displayed has been increased. An additional theme has been added to make long reading easier. An option has been implemented that allows you to automatically enable the reader mode when certain sites are opened (when you re-open the site in the reader mode, a request is displayed to permanently apply this mode for the current site);
