The top of long pages no longer hides behind the address bar. • Pages now start just below the address bar. Previously the first few lines were hidden behind it, including on the iPhone Duo's outer screen with the clock set to horizontal. • App-like sites such as Gemini no longer start behind the address bar or leave an empty strip at the bottom. • Find on Page uses a single system find bar, and the bottom button row moves out of the way while it is open. • Downloads can be paused and resumed, and resume from where they stopped if the connection drops. • A tab that had downloaded a file no longer downloads it again every time the app starts.

Links that push you into an app are blocked, and you can open the same site as a PC instead. • App-redirect links are blocked. Bium recognises the intermediate addresses these services use and stays on the page. Tap the notice's button and the site reopens in its desktop form. • A site's own pinned header and bottom bar no longer hide behind Bium's bars. YouTube's search icon going behind the address bar was the symptom; it affected every device, not only the Duo. • Tapping the close (x) on a tab card no longer opens that tab instead. The target is now visible and the area that accepts the tap is larger. • Notices at the bottom are no longer drawn behind the button row where they could not be seen. • Desktop mode now reports the browser name correctly, so sites no longer reject it as an unsupported browser. • "Open in Bium" now appears in other apps' share sheets. • Sites with a certificate problem show the reason and fingerprint, and you can continue just this once. In kid mode they are blocked without asking. • Find a tab in the tab list by its title or address. • "Read Later" keeps a page so it opens without a connection. Private tabs are never saved. • Handoff: continue the page you were reading on another device signed in to the same account. Private tabs and kid mode are not handed off. • "Open in Bium" is available in Shortcuts. • The icons in the address bar now respond across a wider area than the drawn glyph.

Deeper support for iPhone Duo. On the cover screen, a site's own search box or header no longer hides behind the address bar, and you can now lay the clock and Wi-Fi out horizontally. • On the cover screen the page now starts below the address bar. The bar used to sit on top of the page, so a site header pinned to the top of the screen - Google's search box, for one - went behind it and could not be seen. • Turn on 「바깥화면 시계를 가로로」 in Settings and the status items move to a horizontal band at the top, widening the text column by 22%. Buttons and the address bar move to the bottom. • Your reading position no longer gets dragged when the keyboard appears. It is only restored when the text actually reflows - folding and unfolding - and it stands aside while you type. • On image-heavy front pages the reading position no longer latches onto a gap and jumps the page.

Sound is fixed. In 1.3.0 audio and video on a page would stop a moment after starting; this release puts that right, and sharpens two more corners of how Bium holds your place. • Play a narrated article or a video and it runs to the end. Opening Bium no longer cuts off music you were already listening to. • Folding the Duo while it is turned no longer nudges the line you were reading. • On image-heavy front pages your place no longer latches onto a gap and jumps the page.

Real support for iPhone Duo. Folded, open, or turned, the screen is spent on the page and you never lose your place. • Fold, unfold, or turn 90 degrees and the paragraph you were reading comes with you. When the width changes the text reflows, so we hold on to the words you were looking at — not a coordinate — and put them back in the same spot on the new screen. • Open and landscape, the address bar lies down in a single line; scroll to read and the clock and Wi-Fi step aside with it, leaving only the page. Open and portrait, the address bar shortens and moves up beside the clock. • On the cover screen the buttons stand in the column beside the camera — space the safe area had already taken, so the page loses nothing. • Play a video and the screen becomes a stage. Press and hold the right edge and controls appear under your thumb: pause and jump ten seconds with one hand. • Profiles are one idea now. Cookies, history, favorites and saved passwords stay in their own jar, and a jar you hand to a child asks for nothing on the way in — it asks for the adult jar's code on the way out. • Reader mode picks its line length from the screen. The tab switcher shows covers, and those covers ask nothing of the outside world. • Fixed: the app could quit while deleting a profile, and the screen could jitter while pinching to zoom.

Fixed the composer being cut off on chat sites. • Pages built as one fixed shell — Gemini and the like — never scroll themselves. Bium was leaving room for its floating address and button bars with a scroll inset only, and a page that never scrolls cannot see that inset. The composer at the bottom ended up under the button bar, and the site's own header hid behind the address bar. Those pages now get real layout room, so the composer and the header both stand clear. Long articles you scroll behave exactly as before.

A switch for the endless vertical scroll. • Settings has a new switch, "Take out YouTube Shorts." With it on, Shorts tiles and Shorts shelves drop out of the feed, and a Shorts link opens in the ordinary player instead. It does not block the video; it keeps it out of the endless scroll. It is on by default in Kid Mode and off by default in the adult profile — the two are stored separately, so changing one leaves the other alone. • App Store links opened an empty tab on the phone. Apple's server answers an iPhone with a redirect into the App Store rather than a web page, and Bium was treating that as a page trying to launch an app on its own, so it blocked it. Navigations you start yourself — address bar, search results, start page — now go through. • The home screen now holds 135 quotes, up from 121. Fourteen are new Goethe lines on quiet courage, rest and hope.

The home screen is rebuilt. • An empty tab is now a place — your frequent sites sit on one card, and a single quote of the day rests at the very bottom. Choose Goethe, classics, or scripture, or turn it off. The classics now run to 61 lines — Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, La Rochefoucauld, Marcus Aurelius, Thoreau. • The search field that overlapped the address bar is gone. There is one place to type. One road should not have two doors. • Paper and ink now match the app icon exactly. Tabs are held differently. • Closed tabs survive quitting the app, and come back with their scroll position intact. • Tabs you haven't looked at in a while close themselves (a week by default, and you can turn it off). Pinned tabs, the tab you're on, and tabs playing audio or holding text you typed are left alone. Anything closed comes back from Recently Closed. Also: pinch to zoom works. Document URLs such as PDFs no longer render as an error page. A single first-run screen covers default browser, kid mode, and profiles.
