This version of Wavebox has some bumper performance improvements along with a plethora of updates to how tabs work and what they can do!

We've been working hard on adding tabs into the main Wavebox window. These sit right alongside your apps and give you a great way to open a bunch of pages up without needing a second window all the time.
Need a little help with your extra tab powers? No problem, tabby our tab navigator is here to help and is accessible from the sidebar or menubar at the tap of your mouse. It gives you a single preview and overview of everything that's running so you can flick between what you're doing like a boss.

We've updated the way that tabs sleep and restore so that they startup faster and remember your previous browsing state and history.
Sometimes it's nice to pick up where you left off after restarting your machine, so we've added an option to do this. You can find it under Settings > Startup and when enabled, you'll see your last set of tabs restored into a new window, just like you never went away.

Wavebox has updated a bunch of its dependencies as well as Chromium which is now at 85.0.4183.83. The great thing about updating to v85 is that tabs now load 10% faster which means you'll be where you want to be before you know you want to be there.
We spent some time digging around the app and tracked down some performance bottlenecks caused by a bad voltage regulator. It turns out that by switching the regulator to fast mode actually makes a bunch of stuff run faster, or in real terms a 50% CPU usage reduction in some cases.

There's also a bunch of other stuff that's not even worthy of a mention but each fix or tweak keeps Wavebox running smoothly and speedily 😊

Update to Chromium 84.0.4147.135
A small number of you couldn't sign to Slack, and we'd feel really bad. So we fixed it.

Under rare circumstances, our handy notifications would just not appear. We made the logic behind this more robust, so all of your notifications will now display correctly.
