Cliqz Browser Release Notes 1.24.0 (64.0+1.32.4)

You asked, we listened: from now on you can install your favorite extensions in the Cliqz browser. Find out more about this and other enhancements we have made.


Improvements

  • Update to Firefox 64.0.
  • Multiple improvements and added coverage for our ad-blocking functionality.

New features

  • Cliqz now allows add-ons. Just before Christmas, one of the most frequent requests from our users becomes a reality: Cliqz Browser for Windows and Mac now supports extensions from the Firefox Add-ons Store. Enjoy the new variety of available functions, but always keep in mind that adding third-party extensions to your browser can be associated with certain risks.
    Read more about how to install extensions in Cliqz and the potential damage add-ons can cause.
  • Added privacy statistics on Cliqz Tab. These stats provide an easy overview of the amount of personal data that have been hidden from trackers for you since you’ve been browsing with Cliqz. In addition, you see the total number of blocked ads and the time saved due to faster page loads.

Fixes

  • Windows users can now import passwords from their Firefox built-in password manager into the Cliqz one. (Note: possibility to import the passwords protected by the master password is currently limited).
  • Multiple fixes to the Cliqz Offers module
  • Fixes for various enriched search results in the quick search
  • Users of the German version of the browser were not able to use the search engine Qwant for specific queries directly from the Cliqz URL bar. This has been fixed.
  • Some of our users experienced issues with a broken context menu. We apologize for the inconvenience and are happy to report that this issue has been fixed.

Unfortunately, the Connect function is broken at the moment. We are working on a fix to bring back this function to send webpages and videos from your desktop to your mobile device with the next release.

Enjoy safe and fast browsing with Cliqz. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know.
