  • After the second time you open an article from a site in reader mode, you'll be asked whether you want to turn it on automatically, or you can enable reader mode at any time by clicking on the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  • Easier installation on Windows:
  • Previously, running Min on Windows meant downloading a folder full of files, which was often confusing to use. Starting in this release, Min can now be installed by running a single installer, which is easier and simpler to run.

New in Min 1.9.0 (Feb 4, 2019)

  • Improved content blocking:
  • Min has always had the ability to block trackers and ads, helping to speed up your web browsing and making it harder for sites to track you across the web. However, it wasn't always easy to figure out how to enable this option, or to control what would be blocked. Starting in this release, Min will block third-party ads and trackers by default, helping to protect your privacy and making pages load significantly faster. To test this, we loaded a selection of news websites in Min 1.8 and 1.9 with third-party content blocking; on average, enabling content blocking makes sites load 2x faster.
  • If you turned on content blocking in a previous version of Min, all ads and trackers will continue to be blocked, just as they were before. In this release, we've also made the content blocker even faster, and added an option to disable content blocking on certain websites if you choose.
  • Download manager:
  • Min now includes a way to manage downloads - one of the most-requested features in our recent survey. When you start downloading a file, a bar will appear at the bottom of the window, allowing you to view the progress of a download or cancel it. Once the file is finished downloading, you can open the file directly from Min, or drag-and-drop it to move it to a different location.

New in Min 1.8.0 (Oct 9, 2018)

  • Userscripts
  • Userscripts allow you to create scripts that run whenever a page is loaded, allowing you to modify their behavior. To create a userscript, first enable the option on the settings page
