🤩 Introducing Wavebox 10

[Thomas101]

Today we are delighted to announce the release of a brand new version of Wavebox. The app has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, on a full Chromium foundation to provide a flawless experience across all your web apps.

To find out why we’ve made the move from Electron to Chromium, read this blog post

We’re very excited about the release of Wavebox 10 and the potential it has for offering fast and seamless working across your web apps and tools. It's a huge step forward from Wavebox Classic (the new name for existing Wavebox) and we hope you will find it leaner, more robust and much faster than ever before.

Here's a really brief list of what's new in Wavebox 10...

• Expand our supported extension list from 16 to thousands of extensions ❤️
• A 10-20% decrease in memory consumption 💨
• A refined and sparkly new UI that's tastefully familiar ✨
• Seamless tab support in any window
• Fully integrated autofill for usernames and passwords 🤖
• Improved PDF and printing support across the board
• Improved theming support 🎨
• Support for things such as U2F keys when signing into Google
• Improved screen-sharing support
• Privacy lock to keep your app private 🔒

...and if you want to download it, just head over to our download page.

If you're already on the beta channel and want to continue getting new features first, then you can download the beta directly

We're not pushing this down the normal update channels just yet, as we're yet to release our migration wizard, which means you will have to setup a-fresh. If you don't mind doing this (or want to clear out a few cobwebs 🕸️) then the download page is for you 😊.

There's more in-depth information about everything that's new 🆕 in the Wavebox 10 launch blog

The windows 10 version would not install. I downloaded it, tried to do the install and nothing happened, rebooted my PC, and tried the install again with the same results. downloaded it again (file size was the same) and retried the install again with the same results. It did not show up in the task manager at any time. The R4 version still works fine.

I posted this issue in GitHub and have since closed it.

@Thomas101 Hold up. Is Wavebox 10 no longer open source? The whole reason why I use Wavebox over other competitors is that it is open source. I don't see this change mentioned anywhere.

@dfrankland seems to be true, unfortunately… #1132

Wavebox Version: 10.0.52-2 stable (Wavebox Pro)
Operating System & Version: Linux Mint 19.3
(Linux only) Install method: Debian installer

Upgraded to 10.x version from 4.x and was very disappointed that:
Missing important function: close button --> hide to tray

Now Wavebox all time hangs in minimized state and Plank panel.
It is very uncomfortable! Can you add this function (as it was on the previous version of Wavebox) as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Is there a Wavebox 10 repo/branch ? What about a wavebox 10 stable/beta change log ?
