Новые выпуски

PBI 1.7.8

Plasma Browser Integration our addon for Chrome and Firefox got an update.

This fixes it working with Vivaldi and Brave browsers. It fixes video controls with iframes. Some websites set the album cover art through the Javascript Media Session API but for those which don't the video player’s poster is now used as an album cover. And it fixes the detection of short "new message" notifications that do not need controls with those which just report their length wrongly.

A new accessibility tool this month is Kontrast. It is a color contrast checker and tell you if your color combinations are accessible for people with color vision deficiencies.
