Floorp Browser 12.6.0 changelog:
New Features
Added “Open in Other Workspace” to the context menu.
When right-clicking on a link, “Open in Other Workspace” has been added to the context menu. The container selected in Workspace settings is not applied to tabs opened from here.
Added the ability to display bookmarks at the bottom.
You can now display bookmarks at the bottom. Due to breaking changes on the Mozilla side, displaying them at the bottom is becoming more difficult year by year, so normal operation is not guaranteed.
New Features via Floorp Tests
The rollout rate for the Workspace archive/restore feature has been increased to 50%. This feature is scheduled to be released as a stable version in 12.7.0.
You can change your participation policy for Floorp Tests in Floorp Hub (about:hub#/about/updates).
Changes
The container selected in Workspace settings will now be applied to tabs opened from bookmarks bars, etc.
Fine-tuned the sensitivity of Mouse Gestures.
Due to changes on the Firefox side, Floorp’s Split View has been corrupted and is temporarily disabled. This feature is expected to be natively implemented on the Firefox side, so it is scheduled to be available again within three weeks.
