🌟 New

・Are you looking for an excellent sidekick? Isolate cookies in your sidebar and get more done!

You can now use the container tab feature that allows you to segregate cookie🍪 in the web panel of Floorp’s browser manager sidebar.

The container settings are added next to the custom URL setting in the settings and can be changed there. A web panel opened in a container will have color added to the left.

Browser manager sidebar with isolated cookies

You can use userChrome.css to change the colors.


・Let’s transition the website anywhere easily like a ninja!

Added a home button to the icons in the browser manager sidebar that appear when viewing the web panel. Clicking on it will instantly take you back to the page set in the web panel.


・Switch more faster!

Clicking the select box icon of a selected web panel now closes the side panel.


・Is the device running slow? Want to hear audio in the main viewer? Silence the web panel!

Added context menu for web panel select box icons. From here you can unload and mute/unmute audio.


・Let’s increase the efficiency of webpanel operation!

Switching a web panel to a browser management tool or another web panel no longer unloads the originally displayed web panel!

This makes the select box toggle button work like a tab. Also, the convenience of the user who used it as a music player will increase.


Improved the performance of switching between opening a web panel once, opening browser management tools, and then opening the same web panel again.

In particular, it has been improved to display faster when switching to TST.


・Did you forget something? fine! Floorp remembers everything!

Added a button to remember the width size of the browser manager sidebar for each panel.

It will be easier when switching to other panels by remembering it on websites that require width, such as Discord.


・The open panel icon is now highlighted in the browser manager sidebar.

Icons float when highlighted, same as Firefox’s Proton UI design.


・New localization, Chinese added
Thanks!: benzBrake
