On Linux, middle clicks on the new tab button will now open the xclipboard contents in the new tab. If the xclipboard content is a URL then that URL is opened, any other text is opened with your default search provider.
Mega useful!
Why is this not on Windows. This sounds actually cool.
Because Windows doesn’t have two different copy/paste mechanisms like X does.
(X has “highlight text to copy”/“middle-click to paste” and “ctrl-c to copy”/“ctrl-v to paste”, which have completely different origins (homegrown Unix vs. copying Windows) and don’t even share the same clipboard. Frankly, although it can be useful it’s also kind of a mess.)
Agreed. It’s a huge mess.
What happened to the cookie banner reduction? I can’t find it in the release notes.
I think they hit some snags that it wasn’t working satisfactorily yet, so hopefully in a future release 🤞
Ah man, this was the main feature I was hyped for. Thanks for the info!
