Every released version of the Aszendra browser. https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/feed.xml 2026-09-30T12:00:00Z Aszendra https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-8-0 2026-09-30T12:00:00Z <p>You can now colour Aszendra your way, and password managers can connect to their desktop app.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>New Dark Cherry theme in wine red, next to the familiar violet (Settings → Appearance).</li><li>Custom colour: pick an accent and Aszendra derives every shade from it — with neutral, tinted or strongly tinted surfaces.</li><li>Extensions can talk to their desktop app (for example Bitwarden or Apple Passwords). Aszendra asks the first time, and you can revoke it under Settings → Permissions.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-7-0 2026-09-30T12:00:00Z <p>Aszendra now warns about scam and malware sites, can always encrypt connections and connects websites to USB and Bluetooth devices.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>Warnings for dangerous sites: known phishing and malware sites are blocked. The lists live on your computer; no address leaves it.</li><li>“Always use secure connections” in the settings: http:// is upgraded to https://; without an encrypted connection Aszendra asks first.</li><li>Secure DNS: name resolution encrypted via Cloudflare, Quad9, Mullvad or Google.</li><li>Websites can connect to USB, Bluetooth and serial devices — you pick the device, e.g. for hardware wallets, security keys or Arduino.</li><li>Mute tabs with one click on the speaker in the tab.</li><li>Search tabs with ⌘⇧A (Ctrl+Shift+A) across all windows; open tabs also appear in the address bar.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>The password vault's encryption uses current versions of its libraries. Existing vaults open as before.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-6-3 2026-09-29T12:00:00Z <p>This update closes several security vulnerabilities. Aszendra installs it by itself.</p><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>The prompt for camera, microphone or location and the lock menu were sometimes hidden behind the page.</li><li>The password menu no longer loses input when switching tabs.</li><li>If saving in the password manager fails, the previous state is kept.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>Latest security fixes from Chromium (Electron 44.5.1).</li><li>An HTML file dragged onto the tab bar used to get the rights of the browser interface. The bar now only ever shows itself.</li><li>Downloaded files now always carry the system's origin mark, even after many downloads in one session.</li><li>Reading history now respects exceptions entered with “www.”, capital letters or a port, and truly overwrites deleted entries.</li><li>A copied password is cleared from the clipboard when Aszendra quits.</li><li>A removed ad blocker exception no longer keeps working.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>Updated build tools (no effect on the browser): @cloudflare/workers-types 5.20260930.2, wrangler 4.145.0.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-6-2 2026-09-26T12:00:00Z <p>In 1.6.1 the Aszendra window stayed empty. 1.6.2 fixes that — the protection for local files stays.</p><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>The interface loads again. In 1.6.1 the window stayed empty.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>Local HTML files still cannot read other files on your computer — now in a way that no longer affects the interface.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>If you have 1.6.1, you get 1.6.2 automatically the next time you quit Aszendra.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-6-1 2026-09-26T12:00:00Z <p>This update closes several security vulnerabilities. Aszendra installs it by itself.</p><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>The password window appears only once it is fully drawn.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>A downloaded HTML file opened in Aszendra could read other files on your computer. Local pages can no longer reach other files — just like in Chrome.</li><li>Downloaded files now carry the system's mark of origin. macOS checks a downloaded program before it first runs, and Windows asks.</li><li>Other programs on your computer can no longer launch Aszendra as a tool to borrow its permissions (camera, microphone, location).</li><li>Extensions only see the addresses and titles of your tabs if they have permission.</li><li>The password manager checks again before filling that the page is still the same. A password saved for a different subdomain is only filled after you confirm.</li><li>Aszendra's own pages are additionally protected: only the script that belongs there can run.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-6-0 2026-09-26T12:00:00Z <p>New versions now install themselves — no installer, no downloads folder.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>Updates install themselves: quietly the next time you quit, or right away with a click on the arrow at the top right. Your tabs stay.</li><li>On the Mac the previous version is kept as a backup until the new one runs cleanly. If the new one doesn't start after the click, the old one comes back.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>If you still have 1.5.0, this update arrives one last time as a file in your downloads folder. From 1.6.0 on it happens by itself.</li><li>On Linux with .deb, the system asks for your password once when installing.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-5-0 2026-09-24T12:00:00Z <p>Extensions from the Chrome Web Store now work much more completely — and a security flaw during installation is closed.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>Extensions get their button in the toolbar, with icon and badge. A click opens their popup, a right-click their menu.</li><li>Extensions can add entries to the context menu of web pages, set reminders and show notifications.</li><li>Extensions can see and control tabs and windows as in Chrome — Dark Reader, for example, now works completely.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>When installing an extension from the Chrome Web Store, a crafted package could exhaust memory or write files outside its folder. Aszendra now unpacks extensions itself, with fixed limits.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>Private windows still get no extensions.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-4-0 2026-09-24T12:00:00Z <p>If you come from another browser, you now bring everything along. Plus extensions from the Chrome Web Store and a reading aid.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>On first start, a welcome page brings over bookmarks, history and passwords from Chrome, Edge, Firefox and other browsers, and can make Aszendra your default browser.</li><li>Passwords come from the export file of any common browser or password manager, and on macOS directly from Chrome, Edge and Brave.</li><li>Extensions can be added from the Chrome Web Store with one click and keep themselves up to date. Beforehand, Aszendra says what they may do and what they lack here.</li><li>The reading aid shows the key sentences of articles and reads aloud — both on this device.</li><li>After a crash, Aszendra asks whether it may send a short report and shows exactly what it contains first.</li></ul><h3>Improved</h3><ul><li>When checking for a new version, a progress bar shows that something is happening, and at the end it says clearly whether Aszendra is up to date.</li><li>The button for workspaces now sits at the top right of the tab bar.</li></ul><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>When Aszendra is the default browser, links from mail and other apps now actually open in Aszendra.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>Before any extension, Aszendra asks and lists what it may do and what it lacks here.</li><li>The update channel choice has been removed from settings.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-3-0 2026-09-24T12:00:00Z <p>Aszendra now translates whole pages — on your computer, not in a cloud. And PDFs open right in the tab.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>When a page is in another language, the button next to the address translates it into yours, from more than 50 languages.</li><li>Translation happens on this device. The first time, a language pack is downloaded once; after that it works offline too.</li><li>Aszendra can always translate a language automatically; “Original anzeigen” brings the original text back.</li><li>PDFs open right in the tab, with search, zoom, printing and saving.</li></ul><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>Full screen (F11) on Windows and Linux now hides the tabs and address bar, as in other browsers.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>Downloaded language packs are listed in settings under “Übersetzung” and can be deleted there.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-2-0 2026-09-24T12:00:00Z <p>The overview of all tabs has been rebuilt, and a few things you expect from any browser now work here too.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>The Constellation is a star map: tabs that belong together form constellations with names, every website has its fixed place in the sky, and a large preview sits on the right.</li><li>Searching the Constellation dims what doesn't match instead of hiding tabs. The arrow keys move in the direction you press.</li><li>Ctrl+Tab and then Enter takes you back to the previous tab.</li><li>Screen sharing in video calls such as Meet, Teams or Zoom.</li><li>Pages that ask for a password (such as routers or intranets) now prompt for a username and password.</li><li>Print (⌘P) and Save page as (⌘S).</li></ul><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>Holding ⌫ in the Constellation could close several tabs after the search was cleared.</li><li>A sign-in window that closed itself left an error behind.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>On macOS, the first access to camera, microphone or location is now explained in German.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-1-0 2026-09-23T12:00:00Z <p>Aszendra now runs on Linux too, and a few things that got in the way every day are fixed.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>Aszendra for Linux: as a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian and as an AppImage for every other distribution.</li><li>A password generator in the key menu, with the length and kinds of characters you choose. Right-click a password field to insert a strong password directly.</li><li>Cookies and site data can be viewed and deleted per site in the settings, or removed automatically on quit, with exceptions for sites where you want to stay signed in.</li><li>The settings are grouped into categories, with a menu on the right to jump between them.</li><li>“Feedback senden …” in the menu opens a prepared email for bugs and wishes.</li></ul><h3>Fixed</h3><ul><li>Signing in to Google and YouTube failed with “This browser or app may not be secure”. It works now.</li><li>Videos in fullscreen now fill the whole screen; before, the tab strip and toolbar stayed on top.</li><li>Sign-in windows such as “Sign in with Google” or PayPal on other sites report back to the page that opened them again.</li><li>On Windows, closing the last window lost the session.</li><li>Bookmarks from Opera were not found during import.</li><li>On Windows, menus and tooltips showed Mac key symbols instead of Ctrl and Shift.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>Generated passwords are now uniformly distributed: before, some characters appeared slightly more often than others.</li><li>A copied password disappears from the clipboard after 45 seconds.</li><li>Electron 44.4.5.</li></ul> https://aszendra.com/en/aenderungen/#v1-0-0 2026-09-22T12:00:00Z <p>Aszendra is ready enough to hand to someone without adding a word.</p><h3>New</h3><ul><li>The ad and tracker blocker is built in and works without an extension.</li><li>A password vault as a program of its own, encrypted with Argon2id and XChaCha20-Poly1305.</li><li>Background tabs go to sleep after 20 minutes and give their memory back.</li><li>The Constellation shows every open tab as a star map — with lines between the tabs that opened one another.</li><li>Private windows write nothing to disk, instead of deleting it afterwards.</li><li>Bookmarks from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and Safari can be brought over on first launch.</li><li>Seven search engines to choose from, DuckDuckGo by default — plus your own address.</li></ul><h3>Security</h3><ul><li>Updates are signed and checked three times before anything is installed.</li><li>Aszendra sends no telemetry and creates no identifier by which an installation could be recognised.</li></ul><h3>Worth knowing</h3><ul><li>macOS and Windows warn on first launch because there is no purchased developer certificate yet. The download page explains how to get past it.</li><li>There are packages for Apple Silicon and for 64-bit Windows. Intel Macs and Windows on ARM don't have one yet.</li></ul>
