A new version of the Min 1.34 browser has been published, offering a minimalist interface focused on manipulations with 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 generated for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Min supports navigation through open pages via a system of tabs. Such functions as opening a new tab next to the current tab, hiding unused tabs (which the user has not accessed for a certain time), grouping tabs and viewing all tabs as a list are available. There are tools for building lists of deferred tasks/links for reading in the future, as well as a bookmark system with full-text search support. 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 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:
- The ability to import and export passwords from other browsers has been added to the settings page.
- The interface has improved switching to a tab from the search bar.
- It is now possible to create your own key combinations that use the Super (Windows) key.
- When opening the full-text search results, a shift is provided to the position on the page corresponding to the found match.
- Improved reliability of restoring an interrupted session.
- The debugging menu is hidden by default (to show this menu you now need to run with the "--debug-browser" option).
