GeckoView 150.0.1
Extension Management
- Redesigned Extensions System — The entire add-on system has been rebuilt, replacing the legacy native Android screens with a smoother in-app experience. Browse, search, install, and manage extensions all within the app.
- Add-on Store — Discover recommended extensions directly in the app with segmented categories and a streamlined install flow.
- Add-on Detail Screens — View permissions, internal settings, and popups for each extension without leaving the app.
- Pinned Add-on Bar — Quick-access bar in the browser toolbar for your favorite extensions, with bottom-sheet popups.
- Update All Extensions — One-tap button to check for and install updates for all your installed extensions at once.
- uBlock Origin Filter List Management — Browse, enable, and disable individual uBlock Origin filter lists. Add custom external filter lists and apply recommended hardening filters for extra privacy.
Privacy & Security
- Intent Gatekeeper — When another app tries to open a link, WebLibre can now ask whether to allow or block it. Manage per-app permissions and respond from notifications without opening the browser.
- Screenshot Protection — New privacy setting to block screenshots and screen recordings of the browser. Find it under Settings > Privacy & Security.
- Permission Shield Indicators — The shield icon on your tab now uses colors to show your privacy status: green means enhanced protection, yellow means you've loosened settings for this site, and it's hidden when everything is at default.
- Third-Party Redirect Blocking — Enabled by default to protect you from malicious redirects.
- Smarter Onboarding Defaults — New users automatically get recommended privacy defaults, including uBlock Origin with optimized filter lists and engine-level privacy hardening.
- Fixed Site Data Clearing — Clearing cookies or site data now properly closes affected tabs first, preventing old data from reappearing immediately.
Tab Management
- Tree View Everywhere — View your tabs in a hierarchical tree structure in List and Grid views too, so you can always see which tabs opened from which.
- Reorder Tabs in Groups — Manually reorder tabs within groups for full control over your browsing layout.
- Auto-Scroll to Active Tab — The active tab now smoothly scrolls into view when you open any tab view (list, grid, tree, or quick switcher).
- Pinned Tabs Respected Everywhere — Pinned tabs now stay at the top in the quick tab switcher and grid view too, not just the list.
- Quick Tab Switcher Always MRU — The quick-switcher bar always shows your most recently used tabs first for consistent muscle memory.
- Container Tab Colors on Title Bar — When browsing in a container, the address bar now shows a subtle colored border matching your container's theme.
- New Sorting Options — Choose whether new tabs appear at the top or bottom (or left/right) of your tab lists.
- Stronger Session Restore — A new internal system reduces the chance of duplicate tabs appearing after restart.
- Isolated Tabs Persist — Isolated tabs now properly survive quitting the app (only private tabs are cleared on exit).
PWAs & Home Screen Shortcuts
- Custom Names for Shortcuts — Give your home screen shortcuts any name you want instead of being stuck with the website's default title.
- Storage Context for Shortcuts — Choose how each shortcut handles logins and data: normal storage, share with an existing container, inherit your current isolated session, or create a fresh isolated context — perfect for using multiple accounts on the same site.
- Multiple Shortcuts Per Site — Pin the same website multiple times with different names and storage contexts (e.g., personal account and work account).
- Better Shortcut Icons — Shortcuts now always get an icon, even for sites that don't provide one.
- Smarter PWA Launches — Opening a PWA that's already open now brings it to the front instead of starting a duplicate.
- PWA Session Recovery — PWAs that lose their session (e.g., after the browser is killed) now automatically recover instead of crashing.
Export & Sharing
- Export Page as Image — Save any webpage as a PNG image to your device.
- Copy Images from Image Menu — Long-press any image to copy it directly to your clipboard.
- Smarter Text Sharing — When sharing text or URLs into WebLibre from other apps, they now properly route through containers and custom tabs.
Search & Navigation
- History Toolbar Button — Optional quick-access button for your browsing history, available from the toolbar customization screen.
- Better Search Without a Default Engine — Highlighting text and choosing to search now opens the search screen with your text pre-filled, even if no default engine is set.
- Fixed Address Bar Ghost Text — Backspace and delete no longer cause suggestion text to glitch or get corrupted.
Onboarding & Setup
- Restore Backup During Onboarding — Import an encrypted profile backup right from the welcome screen, before creating any profile.
- Alpha & Stable Side by Side — You can now keep both the stable and alpha versions installed at the same time as separate apps, so they don't interfere.
- Optimized Defaults — When installing uBlock Origin during setup, you can opt in to recommended privacy filter lists automatically.
- Automatic Preference Migration — A new system keeps your settings up to date automatically when new features are added.
UI & Polish
- Redesigned Toolbar Customization — Toolbar settings now separate buttons into "Enabled" and "Disabled" sections for a clearer overview.
- Long-Press Menu for Settings — Long-press the menu button (...) in the toolbar to jump directly to Settings.
- Quick Quit on Long Press — Long-press the "Quit" button in the profile menu to exit immediately, skipping the confirmation dialog.
- Clearer Site Data Options — The site data cleanup screen now shows Cookies and Cached Files as sub-options under Site Data, making it easier to understand what you're clearing.
- Unsaved Changes Warning — Editing a container and pressing back without saving now asks whether to save, discard, or keep editing.
- Better Keyboard Handling — The bottom sheet now adjusts to the keyboard height so content is never hidden.
- Improved URL Display — URLs are formatted more cleanly with better special character handling.
- Addon Store Screenshot Viewer — Tap a screenshot in the addon details page to view it in a zoomable overlay.
- Proper Quick Action Icons — The Android launcher long-press shortcuts now show proper icons instead of blank tiles.
