MinusBrowser 1.2 is Published
Minus is an alternative to, but not a replacement for, HTTP and Gemini.
- Tor now starts automatically. The option to keep Tor running after the browser window is closed still exists.
- Tor is now used for all connections, not just connections to
.oniondomains. - Gopher is now supported, but not as fully as with a dedicated Gopher client. Gopher menus are presented as if they were Minus pages. You can click on Gopher links just as you do with Minus links. Search is also supported.
- Various annoying bugs are fixed. This includes bugs related to selected text.
The new version is available on Codeberg as a .tar.gz file.
https://codeberg.org/giXzkGsc/Minus-Protocol/raw/branch/main/MinusBrowser.tar.gz
There is no need to install MinusBrowser. Just download the .tar.gz file to your home folder and unpack it with
tar -xf MinusBrowser.tar.gz
or use your favorite GUI software to unpack it.
If you have an earlier version, unpack the .tar.gz file into the same directory as your present MinusBrowser folder. I plan to make future versions of MinusBrowser able to update themselves similarly to the way EasyGPG updates itself.
