Version 10.95.28 27/10/2021
Alongside the update to Chromium 95, this release focuses on a number of
performance improvements and reduces the load time by up to 55% in some
instances, making this the fastest Wavebox yet!
๐ New!
-
With a little bit of tweaking and testing we managed to reduce the
load time of certain Wavebox components by a whopping 55%! This is down
to some work we've put into rewriting the styling framework that we use

in the technical side of this, you can find out more info on our blog.
