Hermit 27: Customizable Content Blocker & Advanced Sandbox Features
Aug 29, 2024
With the latest Hermit release, we’re bringing to you one of our most requested features: being able to customize the Content Blocker more fully.
Now you can configure your own HOSTS block lists within the app. Hermit will auto-update them every week, so your browsing protection is always up-to-date. We also provide a set of common well-known lists, but you can disable or delete any of them.
Since we launched v26, we’ve added many more new features in incremental updates as well. Here is a summary.
Clear Cache & Storage for each Sandbox individually
Each Sandbox has its own cache & storage, and now you can clear it for each Lite App individually.
Set Custom Labels for Each Sandbox
Although each Sandbox has its own defined color, that’s not always helpful to remember. So now you can attach a label to each Sandbox, and be able to tell your “🟢 Personal” Lite Apps from your “🔴 Work” Lite Apps even if you are color-blind.
More Zoom
For webpages that are truly hard to read because of their tiny font size, you can now zoom your webpages all the way up to 250% (previously: 150%).
Dark Mode Improvements
For Web pages whose authors did not set a background color, Hermit’s Dark Mode now uses a color based on the Dark Mode setting for that Lite App.
