Turtlebrowse

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.
