kinda expected that lol
you could always fork the project and edit it
i already have my own browser it just lacks contributors atm, I'm slowly rolling out the small features.
Contributors aren't necessary for making something though.

My projects are all heavily dependent on the community considering my code REALLY sucks (lmao)

…If you were smart enough to understand it, which I'm not cos I can't even figure out how to make callbacks in JS

I think the download page would look better without the bullet points, those are kind of old UI looking. Also the color of the text changing on hover would look great!

MagicCrayon9342

There are links to the individual files, but wouldn't it get kind of annoying changing them every update…?

I didn't style it myself. It comes from the Tailwind typography plugin.

It uses the GitHub api to automatically fetch the files and description. As you can see, the current release's description and files match https://mystpi.github.io/ninetails/download exactly.

Recommended Features to Add 21.2.2022,

- The ability to drag a tab out of the browser window to create a new window and put the corresponding website into that window
- Dark mode, with detection of system theme, also toggleable (See Catalyst source)
- Debug and version details in some kind of menu (See Catalyst for information how)
- Less rounding on input boxes in settings menu, or just increase the padding.
- Smaller logo in loading screen, and loading bar below
- Welcome page for fresh installations

Bugs found as of 21.2.2022,

While the logo appears fine on Linux and MacOS, on Windows (11, could be a big taskbar issue) the icon looks quite blurry in both the Window Titlebra and Taskbar

Images/Screenshots:

(May be intentional), I am used to using CTRL + R to reload the current tab, many else are. I'd prefer if it reloaded the tab in Ninetails as well, maybe a different key for restarting the browser

I am aware of that issue, but unfortunately I'm not sure what's causing it.

I am aware of that issue, but unfortunately I'm not sure what's causing it.

The blur in an icon (especially PNGs), can be caused by scaling issues. While SVGs can be scaled infinitely without losing quality, PNGs lose quality when resized. The Operating System, scales the icon to the UI element it's being placed on, example: a taskbar or a dock.
