Serious Discussion What’s New Page (on your browser)

[Sampei.Nihira]

How much it bothers me after every update to see the changes made to each browser version.
In Firefox, I use a policy:

OverridePostUpdatePage set to ""

In Chrome, I recently unchecked the box in the developer tools under:



"Show what's new after each update"

and I need to check if it works.

I've configured Vivaldi to display a blank page for the startup, homepage, and new tab.

Are you asking if we disabled the "what's new" page or what do we have set for home page and/or opening new tab?

"What's new" page.
But it wasn't a question.
Perhaps this feature doesn't bother forum members.

In Chrome, this internal page is displayed after each update:

chrome://whats-new/

@Sampei.Nihira In Brave I never see what's new. I just set newpage to blank in the settings of Brave

@Sampei.Nihira,
In Firefox, I found the "WhatsNew" page after updates somewhat annoying.
Setting the about:config preference browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone as "ignore" was said to disable the "WhatsNew" page, but I never made that setting.
For some reason, I haven't seen the "WhatsNew" page after updates in a long time, I don't remember what the last time was. Perhaps it has to do with the Firefox snap version, or perhaps it is because of some setting, I don't know.

Can confirm it doesn't bother me. I don't mind seeing what's new in Firefox and when it updated to be honest.

The good, old days of Yahoo search as the browser home page.

I don't see a Whats new in Libra Wolf, must look next time but I don't remember seeing it or in Brave either???

I sort my neighbors lappy out for him & he insists on Yahoo mail as browser homepage on Chrome & Edge, I do wonder if he has visited the planet Earth recently, no problem to me I do what people wish these days unless I feel its unsafe - A friend of mine also likes Norton & Malwarebytes running in real time with 4 GIg memory, it takes 10 mins to start up, I'm looking for a newer PC for him but people get set in their ways?? I have abandoned him to his fate somewhat until he sees sense.

OT Again, sorry...

I think Sampei.Nihira said it was about the "What's new" page after updates, not about a homepage or new tab page.

 

[Sampei.Nihira]

Now just a small pop-up saying that Chrome has been updated, no New Page.

Of course I have a Home page, its a Canadian news site, first thing I read everyday. How else am I going to find out whats happening in the world....social media.

Yep, I don't get a What's New in Brave, either. I believe we would have to go to the release note web site to view the changes.

Brave recently changed how it surfaces release information, so many users no longer see a “What’s new” or release notes tab immediately after updating. Instead, changes are now documented on dedicated release‑notes pages.
