Octoweb 0.15: page memory, link hints, private tabs
Description and use
<p>I shipped Octoweb 0.15.0 nine days after 0.14.0, and it's the largest release since launch: 46 files changed, about 5,100 lines added, and two new MCP tools. Most of it is the kind of change you notice in the first hour. The browser now remembers the text of what you read, reaches links inside a page without a mouse, and opens a private tab from any palette row.</p> <p>Here's how each piece behaves, including the edges. If you just want the upgrade:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>brew upgrade <span class="nt">--cask</span> octoweb </cod
