Privacy Cell 1.11 was released on 29 April 2025. This release now shows which SIM card is active for each of the connections, which is useful for devices with more than one SIM card. As part of making this information easy to read on the screen, the interface was changed to use a card layout.| Stoutner
Privacy Browser Android 3.19.3 was released on 31 January 2025. A crash was fixed that manifested on certain devices and configurations when the bottom app bar was used and the keyboard was displayed when the Navigation Drawer was opened for the first time. Something about the animation of these three things caused a race condition […]| Stoutner
Privacy Browser PC 0.8 was released on 30 January 2025. From the beginning, there have been problems when changing the user agent. Doing so would cause the current page to reload, interrupting the loading of the new URL. I have finally implemented a solution to this that works around Qt WebEngine’s buggy behavior. Basically, the system detects when a reload relating to the changing of the user agent interrupts the loading of a new URL and tries again after the new user agent is in place...| Stoutner
Privacy Browser Android 3.19.2 was released on 10 January 2025. It fixes a layout problem with the bookmarks drawer on Android <= 10 (API <= 29). On Android <= 9 (API <= 28) there is an odd glitch (at least on my emulators) that causes the layout of the drawer to have issues when the […]| Stoutner

Privacy Browser Android 3.19.1 was released on 2 January 2025. It fixes a crash when loading the About or Import/Export activities if OpenKeychain (both About and Import/Export) or Orbot (just About) is not installed. The cause appears to be a change in how installed packages are queried when targeting API 35 (Android 15). These activities […]| Stoutner

When doing so, manually adjusting the sort order is disabled. When not sorting bookmarks alphabetically, there are now options to move a bookmark to the top or the bottom, instead of just the […]| Stoutner
Up until this point I have been backporting Privacy Browser PC releases to bookworm-backports (bookworm is the current Debian stable release). However, the 0.7 release represents a major change from Qt5 and KF5 (KDE Frameworks 5) to Qt6 and KF6. Debian bookworm does not contain all of the necessary KF6 components to build Privacy Browser PC 0.7. Specifically, KCompletion is not available on bookworm, and backporting it would require backporting the entire KF6 6.8.0 suite (and likely other thi...| Stoutner
Privacy Browser PC 0.7 was released on 11 December 2024. The major feature of this release is that Privacy Browser PC has been rebased on KDE 6 and Qt 6. Qt 5 was in EOL (End of Life) maintenance mode, meaning that from a feature perspective Qt WebEngine was based on Chromium 87.0.4280.144. The Qt 6 WebEngine currently in Debian unstable is 6.7.x, which is based on Chromium 118.0.5993.220. The next stable release of Debian, codenamed trixie, will likely ship with Qt WebEngine 6.8.x, which...| Stoutner
