v1.1.6 Update Live • Spaces, Split View & Compact Omnibar

A minimalist browser with
nothing in the way.

Q: What's new in AirBrowser v1.1.6?

Version 1.1.6 introduces Work & Personal Spaces for one-click tab segregation, Dual Screen Split View for side-by-side multitasking with an adjustable divider, an Arc-style centered compact Omnibar with clean domain display, and redesigned bookmarks with sleek modern context menus.

Q: How does the Spaces (Work / Personal) switcher work?

In the sidebar directly beneath your bookmarks, click between 'Personal' and 'Work' to instantly filter your open tabs. Tabs are automatically saved to your local profile, allowing you to keep work documents and personal browsing cleanly separated without running separate windows.

Q: How do I use Split View for dual-screen browsing?

Click the Split View button [ | ] in the top toolbar. AirBrowser opens a secondary full-featured WebView2 pane alongside your current page, separated by a draggable splitter so you can research or take notes side-by-side.

Q: How is AirBrowser so much lighter than Google Chrome?

Most Chromium browsers download and run an entire redundant web browser binary. AirBrowser utilizes the native Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime already built into Windows, combined with lightweight, high-performance C# WPF, keeping memory usage around 70-90 MB idle.

Q: How does the Smart Picture-in-Picture feature work?

When you switch tabs away from a playing video on YouTube or Netflix, AirBrowser detects active playback and automatically pops out the video into an always-on-top, borderless floating window. When you return, it docks seamlessly back into place.

Q: Is AirBrowser free to use?

Yes! AirBrowser is 100% free with no ads, subscriptions, or hidden charges. It is available on the Microsoft Store and open source on GitHub.

Q: Can I import my bookmarks and passwords?

Yes. You can export passwords and bookmarks from your previous browser as standard CSV/HTML files and import them directly into AirBrowser via Settings.

Light enough to forget it's there. Built natively with C# WPF and WebView2 to use a fraction of your memory, featuring Work & Personal Spaces, Dual Screen Split View, Smart PiP, and distraction-free navigation.
