It is partially proprietary. It is cross-platform, available for desktop and mobile operating systems.
What’s new
- The release schedule for new releases has changed. Now new releases will be released every 4 weeks, instead of 6. This decision was made to ensure that users receive fixes for vulnerabilities, bugs and new features faster.
- For all desktop operating systems and Android, HTTPS-First mode is now available, in which when accessing a site via HTTP, it first tries to open the HTTPS version.
- For public HTTP resources, access to local or internal URLs is prohibited.
