  • Sep 2, 2026 1.2.7
    ### Added - Pre-cleaning before unshortening: Strip tracking query parameters before sending requests to external link shorteners (such as share.google, bit.ly, etc.) so tracking tokens never reach shortener servers. - Fingerprint reduction for outbound requests: Added a new "Reduce fingerprinting while fetching" toggle (enabled by default) that replaces device-specific User-Agents and detailed locale headers with generic ones and drops unnecessary Referer headers when resolving links or fetching previews via DuckDuckGo. - In-app privacy disclosures: Added plain-language, non-technical explanations in Settings beneath network-touching toggles explaining when and why external servers are contacted. ### Changed - Network client hardening: Set followRedirects(false) on base NetworkClient for safer and strictly controlled redirect following.

  • Mar 28, 2026 1.2.4
    **Sidestep 1.2.4** brings new frontend support and a smoother browsing experience. ### What's New - **Fandom → BreezeWiki:** Fandom wiki links are now automatically redirected to BreezeWiki. You can configure a custom instance or toggle it per-platform in Settings. - **Android Custom Tabs:** Open processed links inside a seamless in-app browser experience instead of switching to an external browser. - **Old Reddit support:** `old.reddit.com` links are now intercepted and handled alongside standard Reddit URLs. - **Privacy Policy:** Added `PRIVACY.md` documenting the app's zero-data-collection, local-processing stance. ### Dependency Updates - Android Gradle Plugin → 9.1.0
