Zen Browser has released version 1.12.9b, which includes a variety of improvements, security enhancements, and bug fixes. This update focuses on compatibility with Firefox versions 139.0 and 139.0.1 and aims to address issues specific to NVIDIA users on Windows, which caused rendering problems in the previous version.
Key features of the update include:
- Automatic updates for mods to enhance user experience.
- The auto tab unloader now utilizes Firefox's built-in tab discarding feature that considers both time and memory usage, improving efficiency.
- Enhanced performance in rendering rounded corners within webviews.
- Improved memory management on macOS, allowing the browser to prioritize essential processes during high memory usage.
- An update to the context menu functionality so that the 'Search text on search engine' option now opens Glance instead of a new tab, streamlining the user experience.
Additionally, the update resolves several bugs, including:
- The restoration of icons for pinned and essential tabs, which previously did not display correctly.
- Issues with split view and Glance functionalities.
- Ensured that compact mode operates correctly after closing the browser window.
