* Bugfixes:
◦ Fixed the disappearing URL bar: The address bar will no longer pull a vanishing act when it loses focus, when you click the bottom toolbar, or when a webpage hits a loading error. It stays put right when you need it.
◦ Better home wallpaper engine: Overhauled the background image code. It now pulls fresh, random imagery cleanly without killing the network pipeline or eating up your phone's memory with thousands of duplicate requests.
◦ Smarter city search: Looking up weather locations now filters out random street numbers and businesses, giving you clean city/state matches (like Springfield, IL vs Springfield, MO). Plus, if your GPS is off, the app handles it silently without throwing a sheet in your face on launch.

◦ Seamless Homepage Integration: Fully optimized to stay crisp and responsive right on top of wallpapers and dynamic home screens gadgets.
◦ Under the Hood: The Strict Domain Privacy ADBLOCK
If you are wondering why the ad blocker feels so precise and strict, it comes down to how uSheild content blocking rules and privacy boundaries:
◦ When the shield is ON, the engine aggressively blocks requests originating from third-party domains (entities outside the website you are currently visiting).
◦ Protecting First-Party Integrity: Filter remains strictly bound to 1st-party domains—meaning resources, stylesheets, and scripts hosted directly by websites are allowed through.
