v0.15.0-release-notes.md RawHistoryFolder

[0.15.0] - 2025-11-29

Added

  • Inline URL suggestions: Fish/zsh-style ghost text completion in omnibox. As you type, shows grayed-out URL completion from history. Accept with Right Arrow (full) or Ctrl+Right (word). Ctrl+Y also accepts full suggestion. Uses trie-based prefix search with debounced queries for smooth typing.
  • Filter list auto-update: Async version checking using HTTP HEAD request with ETag. 2-minute startup delay, skips if checked within 24 hours. Stores version per filter list.
  • Configurable filter lists: New content_filtering.filter_lists config option. Defaults include EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and uBlock filters (annoyances, quick-fixes).
  • Demo video: Added feature showcase video to README (docs/media/dumber-demo.mp4).
  • Page load progress bar: Thin animated indicator at window bottom showing web page loading progress. Tracks WebView load events with gradient animation, auto-hides when complete.
  • Omnibox initial history display: Configurable behavior when opening empty omnibox via omnibox.initial_behavior ("recent", "most_visited", "none"). Shows initial history on open and when input is cleared. Default: recent visits.
  • Omnibox keyboard blocking: Prevent page scripts from stealing focus while omnibox is active.
  • Configurable border widths: Added pane_mode_border_width and tab_mode_border_width configuration options (default: 4px) for full border customization.
  • Content filter caching: Centralized content blocking service compiles filters once and caches them for instant reuse across all WebViews.
  • CLI purge enhancements: Separate --cookies and --history flags for granular data deletion.
  • URL normalization: Consistent URL storage across browser, CLI, and favicon services (strips trailing slashes, normalizes schemes).

Fixed

  • Filter compilation race condition: Fixed concurrent map crash when multiple filter lists compile simultaneously by using local converter instead of shared state.
  • Omnibox search performance: Debounce search with 2-character minimum threshold to prevent UI freeze on first keystroke. Applies to both URL/history search and find-in-page modes.
  • Omnibox flash on load: Load the injected GUI bundle at document-start and initialize the omnibox as soon as DOM is ready, ensuring it is ready without briefly flashing during page startup or new pane creation.
  • Zoom toast suppression: Suppress zoom toast notifications during browser initialization to prevent UI flash.
  • Cosmetic filter injection: Inject rules immediately and fix selector normalization for better ad blocking.

Changed

  • Refactor keyboard blocking: Move logic to main-world.ts, reduce handler.go verbosity.
  • Border overlay architecture: All borders (active pane, pane mode, tab mode) now use GTK overlay pattern preventing layout shifts when borders appear/disappear. Removed inactive border styling - only active panes show borders.
  • Simplified border configuration: Removed inactive_border_width, inactive_border_color, show_stacked_title_border, and border_radius config options. All borders are now overlay-based with no layout impact.
  • Remove Turnstile workaround: Removed temporary Cloudflare Turnstile CORS allowlist (no longer needed).

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
