1.2.726/05/2026
- New "App language" option under Settings -> Interface. Pick "Follow system", "English", or "Norsk bokmål". Your choice is applied right away and remembered across app restarts.
- On Android 13 and newer, the language is also visible as a separate entry in the Android settings page for NT Browser.
1.2.626/05/2026
- New Settings section "Backgrounds (Premium)": pick a custom drawer background from six presets (Default, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Midnight, Sunrise).
- Backgrounds is a one-time purchase. Once unlocked, it is yours forever, no subscription. The purchase button is in the new section.
- The Unlock button is currently shown as "Coming soon"; it becomes active as soon as the in-app product is published in the store. Your choice is remembered either way.
- Light visual change only: the chosen background is shown behind the side menu. The browser view is left alone, so pages always render normally.
1.2.526/05/2026
- Long-press menu fix: works on videos and images. The Send button now downloads to a folder you pick, and Start saves to your Downloads folder.
- New Settings layout, with sections: Downloading, Notifications, Automation, Cataloging, Scheduler, Interface, Browser, Data.
- Downloading: pick the folder for new downloads, and choose how many files NT Browser downloads at the same time (1 to 5).
- Notifications: small toast messages, the persistent NT Browser banner, vibration on completion, and a tone on completion can each be turned on or off.
- Automation: choose whether Send should ask where to save, whether page-driven downloads should ask before starting, and whether the NT Browser banner should stop on its own when the queue is empty.
- Cataloging: turn on per category (Archives, Programs, Video, Music, Images, Documents) to sort finished files into subfolders.
- Scheduler: pick a daily start and stop time. Outside the window new downloads wait, and the app starts them automatically when the window opens. Optional: silence notifications while the window is closed.
- Interface: theme follows the system, light, or dark.
- Browser: turn visit history on or off, allow pop-up tabs, and clear the cache (cookies and bookmarks are kept).
- Data: export the list of downloads and the app settings (no developer or token fields), and reset settings to defaults.
1.2.425/05/2026
- New sidebar Options: Visit history, Enable JavaScript, Load images, Save open tabs, Desktop mode, Pop-up tabs, Block Ads, Address bar at bottom, and Swap side menus. Each toggle takes effect right away on every open tab.
- Save open tabs: when on, your tabs (and locked tabs) come back the next time you start NT Browser.
- Desktop mode: switches the page to the desktop user agent and reloads, so sites show their desktop layout. Turn off to go back to mobile.
- Pop-up tabs: links and pages that try to open a pop-up now open as a new tab instead of being blocked.
- Block Ads: skips the most common ad networks and hides leftover ad slots on every site.
- Swap side menus: moves the side menu from the left edge to the right edge.
- Open in browser: now hands the page off to another browser on your phone (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, ...) instead of looping back into NT Browser.
- Downloads keep going when the screen is off or the app is closed: a small NT Browser banner appears while downloads are running, with Stop all and Exit, and the app icon shows a count badge.
1.2.325/05/2026
- Sidebar tabs: long-press a tab to lock it so it cannot be closed by accident. Long-press a locked tab to unlock it.
- Tab close confirmation: tapping the X on a tab now asks before closing. You can turn the confirmation off in Settings.
- Links open inside the app when possible, and only switch to another app when the link needs one (for example WhatsApp or Maps). If no app is installed for a link, the app shows a short message instead of failing silently.
