A new version of the browser, Min 1.32, has been published, offering a minimalistic interface built around manipulation of the address bar. The browser is created using the Electron platform, which allows you to create stand-alone applications based on the Chromium engine and the 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 created 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 EasyList list) and a code for tracking visitors, it is possible to disable the download 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:
- Added a setting that allows you to select a language other than the operating system language.
- Enabled display of the page domain when hovering the cursor over a tab.
- Search through browsing history has been accelerated and processing of diacritics has been improved.
- Resolved an issue that allowed scripts to run despite scripts being blocked in the settings.
- Updated translations for Russian and Ukrainian.
- Added assemblies for Windows systems based on ARM and x86 (32-bit) architectures.
