What's New in Ply
1.1.0
August 28, 2026
A rebuilt new-tab screen, two more kinds of page pressure spotted, and a long structural overhaul finished underneath. • The new-tab screen has been rebuilt. It no longer ships with six websites somebody else picked. it starts empty and holds the sites you actually choose. Add, rename, reorder and remove them from the page itself or in Settings. • Fake urgency gets turned down. Badges like "Only 2 left in stock" or "13 people are viewing this" are dimmed so they stop shouting. Ply can't know whether a claim is true, it just stops it from doing the pushing. • Cookie banners that hide the "Reject" button now get it outlined, so you can find it. Ply never clicks either button and never touches "Accept”. it only makes the buried choice visible. The decision stays yours. • The parts of the app that handle your vault, your saved passwords and device sync have been restructured so each one has a single clear owner, checked automatically on every change. Nothing you see or store changes. • Added the ability to refresh tracker and ad blocklists. • Several privacy descriptions in the app were corrected. A few of them promised more than Ply actually does. • Fixed “Save photo to gallery” when long pressing an image from a web page. • Subtle UI changes.
