3.3.1

New!

Rule hits can can be optionally recorded to a CSV file (off by default). To enable, check Settings->Log Rule Hits to File. This creates hit_log.csv which you can open from the File menu. Feature is useful for recording your activity for further analysis to exporting to some analytical engine.

Bugs Fixed

• Config window was not deleted from memory after closing it.
• Update check was happening on every start instead of every 24 hours.

There are installation instructions available if you need them. I also have optional integration extensions for Chromium, Edge and Firefox.

I hope you enjoy this release. Feel free to raise issues or start discussions.

3.3.0

New

• Match rules support regular expressions syntax.
• Support for Firefox Containers added! Firefox containers link redirection works with Open external links in a container by Denys H extension or my own Browser Tamer extension.
• Added Firefox integration extension (link available from Help menu) and published source code for Chromium and Firefox extensions.
• Added native support for Waterfox. This means BT will treat Waterfox just like Firefox, including support for profiles, private mode, containers and the rest.

Improvements

• config.ini is slightly simpler - removed open_cmd and vdf keys as they are not required anymore.
• Browser profiles are sorted by the order they appear in the browser itself instead of alphabetically.
• Chromium browsers have a convenience toolbar button that links to browser store to download optional integration extension.
• Visual: "incognito" modes are marked with a visual icon.
• Firefox: profile discovery skips default profile which is intended for some kind of alpha testing and has no meaning to a normal user. default-release profiles is now displayed as Primary as this is exactly what it is.
• Infrastructure: release notes are removed from application code and replaced by a link to GitHub to avoid duplication and gradually increasing application size as they grow.

Bugs Fixed

• health check: if BT is installed as browser but to a different directory than you are launching from, validation was still succeeding.
• health check: status icon was not updating after health is fixed from dashboard.

There are installation instructions available if you need them. I also have optional integration extensions for Chromium, Edge and Firefox.
