Nav0 ships small and often. No "AI-powered" features hidden in patch notes — just real changes you can read in under a minute each.
A small quality-of-life release focused on navigation polish and platform-specific window behavior — a hover URL preview, Alt+1–9 tab switching, pinch-to-zoom, and fixes for new-tab URL handling, macOS fullscreen controls, and Linux window decorations.
Alt + 1 through 9 to jump directly to a tab by position, and two-finger pinch gestures now zoom page content on macOS trackpadsA quality-of-life release adding a Chrome-style hover URL preview, Alt+1–9 keyboard tab switching, and pinch-to-zoom for macOS trackpads, and fixing new-tab page URL handling, macOS fullscreen window controls, and borderless-fullscreen window behavior on Linux.
Refines the tab bar and toolbar with content-sized tabs, a hover-only close button, larger scroll chevrons, and brand-red icon hovers, and fixes camera and microphone capture in packaged macOS builds by code-signing with hardened-runtime entitlements and driving the native capture prompt.
Adds Chrome-style page zoom and drag-to-reorder tabs in Command-O, promotes "Search the web" to the top of every result list, opens page-spawned tabs next to their opener, and stops the macOS "Local Network" prompt while fixing third-party cookie handling on top-level navigations.
A maintenance release fixing sub-frame address-bar updates and stray helper-frame tabs, preserving exact tab order and pinned tabs on session restore, applying the first-party ad-blocker exemption across all blocklists, and suffixing duplicate downloads.
The Nav0 editorial redesign lands across every built-in page — tab strip, new tab, Bookmarks, History, Downloads, Settings, About, Command-K, and error pages — plus address-bar Enter fixes, coalesced getUserMedia prompts, and unblocked streaming sub-resources in private mode.
A unified address bar autocomplete that ranks bookmarks above history, new Cmd/Ctrl+L and corrected Ctrl+W shortcuts, a fully in-memory private-mode database with startup cleanup, and fixes for ad blocker false positives and the empty About-page checksum row.
Fixed macOS cookie persistence so users stop getting logged out of Gmail, LinkedIn, and other cookie-auth sites after every quit, plus a favicon fallback fix, a Linux packaging fix, and a cleaner dev workflow.
A `nav0` CLI for launching from the terminal, audited keyboard shortcuts across platforms, a stop-loading button in the address bar, and fixes for Gmail PDF downloads, blurry favicons, and the macOS dock icon.
Fixed packaging breakage from the Electron 41 upgrade, restored Google sign-in by refreshing Firefox UA cap and Chrome preset, and softened the new-tab gradient background.
Time-based greetings and a pastel-gradient new-tab page, fixed WebContents cleanup on window close, a streamlined Command-K, the new compass logo across the app, and an Electron 41 upgrade.
Settings page redesign, favicons next to origins in Site Permissions, and a new linting/formatting/pre-commit-hook tooling stack.
Blocking alert/confirm/prompt and basic-auth overlays, getDisplayMedia screen sharing with a dedicated picker, localhost and .local-style URL handling, main-process crash hardening, and a graceful installer prompt when Nav0 is already running.
Cloudflare Turnstile compatibility, Chrome version pinning to Electron's real Chromium, and Google sign-in and Gmail fixes via Firefox UA swap and a minimal window.chrome.runtime stub.
Permissions settings page, configurable downloads location, "On startup" options, session restore for non-private windows, expanded website categories, and assorted settings and startup bug fixes.
Downloads page redesign with cross-session resume, history page with time tracking and analytics, bookmarks page with reading queue/reference split, favicon fetching via net.fetch, and Chrome default user agent.
Renamed application from nav0-browser to Nav0 across package identity, installers, CI pipeline, download page, performance tests, and documentation.
Browser notifications, Firefox user agent default, built-in Developer Tools, streaming site compatibility fixes, external protocol handlers, and hard reload fix.
Renderer process consolidation (8→2 views), tab hibernation, per-tab find-in-page state, Web Share API support, merged title bar, and UI polish across the board.
