Turtlebrowse

added userscripts scaffolding and a new easter egg :)

fixed windows focus bug finally. after 9 months. youre telling me the answer is a simple clear global focus owner. really man?

added auto updating for linux appimages. i also improved the adblocker and ported a cube minigame into the browser.

Added adblocking, zooming, new improved UI, and favicon support!

Added an integrated terminal using JediTerm and pty4j to the browser sidebar. Silly feature but cool and useful. First browser to do so.

Added fullscreen mode support and fixed toolbar bad contrast when dark mode bug.

Added OS theme detection for light/dark mode. Modified the buttons and text to follow the theme as well.

Added an update microservice using Go and migrated the update UI to the settings page.

Added find and replace to Turtlebrowse and a new tool panel that can be swapper for AI, find and replace, and yt-dlp

Added browsing history, made tab switching more efficient. I struggled with fixing the grey paint on tab switch bcuz it looks like its unfixable and an issue with JCEF on Linux.

Added Linux AppImage, YouTube video downloader, and more!

Features and bugs fixed:

• YouTube video downloader via yt-dlp
• Better menu buttons
• Web browser registration and xdg-open handlers on Linux
• Frontend search suggestor
• AppImage build

Multiple new changes in Turtlebrowse v1.4.5, including:

• Setting to enable AI integration and model selection
• New Tab settings
• New Tab wallpaper uploading
• Migrated from Vue to Nuxt for turtlebrowse.ingstudios.dev for better SEO
• Improved performance for wallpapers (serving images directly from backend rather than creating an ObjectURL based on the returned Blob)

I used the DuckDuckGo autocompleter API to add autocompletions to Turtlebrowse. It uses a JavaFX Popup component with an embedded ListView. I also changed the jpackage to use a custom jlink.

Completed the settings page! User can now choose between many different search engines including Brave Search, DuckDuckGo, Google, Startpage, Vyntr, Bing and Yahoo. Users can also choose to enable or disable the Discord Rich Presence IPC connection.

we (finally) managed to fix macos build on turtlebrowse! turns out the issue was single process flag that had to be added because of linux and focus issues that caused a StackOverflowError on mac! try v1.2.9 now at https://turtlebrowse.ingstudios.dev!
