What's New in the Latest Version 1.4.0
Last updated on Jun 13, 2021
Old Versions
As much as the hamsters would love to have been in hibernation during lockdown, they have in fact been busy burrowing away in preparation for this release!
They are particularly proud to bring you the most requested features from our HamsterBrowsing community along with a number of improvements and bug fixes:
• Scroll super-slowly or super-fast with an expanded range of scrolling speeds. You can change the hamster running speed in settings. Alternatively, hold down the settings button to access the Scroll Control Panel and change the speed on the fly in Swipe-to-run mode. There are now 80(!) speed levels to give you much more control.
• You can now scroll on your Instagram direct messages!
• Previews of tabs containing PDF files now show correctly on the Tabs page.
• Missing scroll bar indicators on web pages are now visible when using hamster-powered scrolling.
• The positioning of floating toolbars at the top of some web pages has been improved.
