Yandex Browser

What's new in this version:

CLIQZ 1.25.2

New features:
- We added a new notification box on Cliqz Tab to keep our users up-to-date on news related to the Cliqz browser or to talk about other important matters, like asking for their opinions: the survey we ran in the past weeks got thousands of responses! Thank you! We will carefully analyse the feedback and use it to further improve Cliqz. The notification box only appears when there’s something to say

Improvements:
- Cliqz got updated to Firefox 65.0.1 which brings various improvements and fixes
- Light and dark Cliqz browser themes have been polished: we’ve fixed many small issues across the themes. It’s like with every good face-lift: if you don’t notice anything but you enjoy looking at it, it worked
- Looking for current flight information? The Flight Status Smart Cliqz (shown to users who type “flight” plus a flight number into the URL bar, e.g. “flight LH 773”) now shows the respective time zones for departure and arrival locations

Fixes:
- We fixed the issue of users’ cookie management preferences (set in the Options menu) not being saved after browser restart
- For some of our users the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+T that restores the last closed tab did not work. This has been fixed

- On Cliqz Tab the “Time Saved” statistic got reset to zero after some time in specific cases. This has been corrected

CLIQZ 1.24.0

Improvements:

New features:
- Cliqz now allows add-ons. Just before Christmas, one of the most frequent requests from our users becomes a reality: Cliqz Browser for Windows and Mac now supports extensions from the Firefox Add-ons Store. Enjoy the new variety of available functions, but always keep in mind that adding third-party extensions to your browser can be associated with certain risks
- Read more about how to install extensions in Cliqz and the potential damage add-ons can cause
- Added privacy statistics on Cliqz Tab. These stats provide an easy overview of the amount of personal data that have been hidden from trackers for you since you’ve been browsing with Cliqz. In addition, you see the total number of blocked ads and the time saved due to faster page loads

Fixes:
- Windows users can now import passwords from their Firefox built-in password manager into the Cliqz one. (Note: possibility to import the passwords protected by the master password is currently limited).
- Multiple fixes to the Cliqz Offers module
- Fixes for various enriched search results in the quick search
- Users of the German version of the browser were not able to use the search engine Qwant for specific queries directly from the Cliqz URL bar. This has been fixed

New features:
- We have integrated the open source tool “re:consent” into the Cliqz Browser. It leads you directly to the often well-hidden or deliberately confusing or unnecessarily complex privacy settings (e.g. on Google or Facebook). This allows you to quickly and easily check and change your consent for data processing, e.g. location sharing, face recognition or cookie tracking


CLIQZ 1.21.3
