Previous:
- Added a new setting "Hide 3 macOS buttons" to hide the close/minimize/maximize buttons on floating windows.
- Added a new "History" option in the menu bar drop down. The app will remember the last 100 links for easy access.
- Note regarding Twitch.TV links: Twitch has recently started showing a purple screen with note about third party tools every 5 minutes for 2 minutes. This is beyond my control. I found many other developers complaining about this too on Twitch's own forums:
https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/getting-a-message-on-my-embeds-that-goes-away-after-a-while/29592/31
The response by Twitch staff "jbulava" seems to indicate that this is intentional and they intentionally cause this breaking change on embeds: "...it’s effect on the Twitch viewing experience, but showing the message in all embeds was the intended effect in order to address it."
This is quite disappointing. I will have to wait for Twitch to see if they decide to change this policy as they are intentionally breaking developer tools. Until then, I can't do anything to get around it for Twitch URLs. As a workaround - you can enable the "Use browser instead of embeder" setting by clicking my app's menu bar icon..
Version 4407 June 2023- Added a new "History" option in the menu bar drop down. The app will remember the last 100 links for easy access.

Previous:
- The app now remembers the previous location and size of the window and opens new window with same size and location. This can be disabled with new setting "Don't use previously saved window location and size"
- Added support for Prime Video
- Fixed a bug where content wasn't playing as well as playlist links weren't working.
- Added a useful new setting "Cursor hover hole & pass through activated with Option ⌥ key press". This is OFF by default and you will manually need to switch it ON. Switching it ON makes it so that the hole mask and pass through click can be toggled by pressing the option key on your keyboard.
- Now you can use the "Share" menu in browser to open the browser link in a floating window.
- Fixed a bug where YouTube videos were using the "browser" mode instead of embedder even when "Use browser instead of embedder" was disabled.
- The "enter link manually" button has been removed. This option is available in the "Settings" button on top right of a floating window as "Manually enter URL".
- Changed icon for the settings button and it's grey in color until hovered. Hope this is less distracting.
- New Control + Shift + Command + 8 shortcut in a browser opens the front tab as well as closes the front tab of the browser.
- The app now supports Safari Technology Preview too for "float from front browser" shortcut.
- New setting to enable "Resize freely". When enabled, the floating window can be resized without the aspect ratio. This is off by default.
- Now you can enter the URL directly in the app without requiring a browser opened first. You can either click the menu bar icon and pick "Manually enter URL" and enter multiple URLs. Or if you already have a floating window opened WITH a website opened, you can tap the new blue link icon on the top left (next to the close/min/max buttons) and enter a single url there to open the link in the current window.
- New "Use browser instead of embeder" setting which is useful for platforms like YouTube and Twitch which disable embedding on some videos. If you are getting an error from the webpage, try this setting.
