What's New in Bare
1.3
September 14, 2026
Every web page used to have its top strip hidden under the address bar. On a long page you could scroll it into view. On a short one it was just gone. Pages now start below the address bar. Apostrophes in news headlines came out garbled, and small pictures were blown up until they were a grid of squares. Both fixed. Bare has a new icon. Three more that were quietly wrong. A download that got cut off halfway still showed up as finished. Headlines from two weeks ago came back whenever a refresh failed. And when the phone ran out of space, Bare acted like it had saved anyway.
