Release notes, improvements and fixes for TabGecko.
TabGecko 0.5.12
Latest release
This release expands MCP and workflow automation and improves browser control.
Discover and inspect MCP tools with permission-aware search and pagination.
Read versioned English and German integration guides directly through MCP.
Validate workflows and JavaScript syntax without saving or executing them.
Edit workflow steps atomically with revision checks to prevent conflicting changes.
Read incremental execution logs using cursors and bounded result sizes.
Fix authenticated page control for Chromium and Firefox across the ten MCP page tools.
Use the TabGecko-hosted update feed for installations of this release.
Update API documentation, SDKs and integration examples.
Existing API tokens retain their permission requirements. Workflow validation does not guarantee that external services or runtime conditions will succeed.
TabGecko 0.5.11
This release hardens extension installation, browser automation and application updates, and includes the recent web/client reliability fixes.
Require approval for each extension version and verify its contents before launch. Revoking a version stops profiles that use it.
Protect Chromium and Firefox debugging with authenticated access and revoke active connections when access is withdrawn. Restore HTTP-based Playwright connections.
Verify application updates with an embedded Ed25519 trust key and publish the compatible Firefox kernel, revision 10.
Capture Firefox element screenshots at their native bounds without losing edge pixels.
Restore the local service and account connection if update installation is rejected; discard invalid cached installers before retrying.
Existing extensions require approval in the extension version dialog. Firefox automation requires the new kernel. The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed.
TabGecko 0.5.10
Improves navigation stability, billing date filters and update handling.
Preserve loaded views and remove delayed log-tab switching, placeholder flashes and shifting API/MCP configuration panels.
Apply billing date ranges directly from the calendar, add preset periods and animate usage-table expansion without an inner scrollbar.
Show complete subscription benefits and current account limits with consistent billing layout and icons.
Keep extension status, versions and assignment controls stable while navigating and refreshing.
Restore synchronized theme transitions and the appearance switch animation.
Allow program updates before sign-in.
Prevent kernel update checks from repeatedly suggesting older versions.
Restore cloud device registration after account-session changes.
TabGecko 0.5.9
Improves API and MCP reliability, normal profile browsing and extension-store stability.
Prevent duplicate token refresh and revocation requests, and keep stale responses from overwriting the current token list.
Close event connections when their API token expires or is revoked.
Support normal profile windows without an automation connection. When switching from an API session, back up cookies and clear stale verification state while preserving other cookies.
Assign GECKO_1, GECKO_2 and subsequent available names to unnamed profiles.
Animate the selected kernel version without unnecessary fingerprint-generation feedback.
Keep extension-store cards in place while assignment controls load.
TabGecko 0.5.8
Adds support for the completed Chromium kernel versions and improves profile imports, account flows and notifications.
Download Chromium 143, 146, 149 and the updated 154 kernel; Firefox 153 remains available. Older Chromium versions now install and remove assigned extensions through a compatible private maintenance connection.
Refresh the kernel catalog immediately when a requested version is missing, and download missing browser engines automatically.
Import independent Nstbrowser profile copies with preview, cookie checks and optional browser storage and compatible fingerprint settings. Passwords and unsupported vendor-specific settings are not imported automatically.
Keep sign-in, registration and password recovery inside the main application, with clearer loading and logout states.
Preserve notifications when reopening the panel, animate refresh and filters, and permanently dismiss individual notifications.
Show an updated local profile start page and clarify local service status.
Improve profile-count accuracy and handle closed output pipes without crashing Electron.
TabGecko 0.5.7
This update expands extension management, improves Housekeeping and notifications, and separates development data from the installed application.
Assign extensions to entire groups or individual profiles, exclude individual profiles, and remove assignments directly. Changes take effect on the next profile launch.
Expanded the store to 36 Chromium and 19 Firefox extensions, including Dark Reader and Tampermonkey. Improved store metadata, browser icons, and Firefox package compatibility.
Redesigned Housekeeping navigation and loading, with animated tabs, consistent light/dark themes, and shared membership and role badges.
Improved notification targeting, previews, editing, resending, and archiving. Compact banners include navigation between active messages and animated opening and closing.
Refined profile column reordering, selection animations, extension dialogs, and workspace backgrounds. Improved MCP status feedback, the ten-second check cooldown, configuration resizing, and copying.
Unified application version reporting and clearer read-only database notices. Development uses separate data directories by default. Installed applications check for updates automatically unless disabled; downloading and installing remain explicit actions.
Adopted the TabGecko executable and data-directory names with legacy-path support. Existing database safeguards remain in place to protect data opened by an older application.
Includes matching Local API documentation, SDKs, and Postman files. Existing signed browser-kernel update metadata is retained; this release does not introduce new browser-kernel builds.
TabGecko 0.5.6
This update adds workflow debugging and improves startup, offline access, and profile synchronization.
Edit workflows with undo/redo and freely movable diagram nodes, or test an unsaved draft.
Use breakpoints, single stepping, and variable inspection to diagnose workflows, including subflows.
Keep local information available during connection checks. Eligible local profiles can use a time-limited, device-bound offline authorization; cloud profiles still require a connection.
Recover interrupted profile uploads and release retained device locks without duplicating successful uploads.
Add a battery-masking setting for compatible Chromium kernels. Kernel support is required and is distributed separately.
Improve group creation icons, green profile-start controls, and selection behavior for platform icons.
TabGecko 0.5.5
This update adds finer team permissions, more profile automation options and a revised profile workspace, with fixes for browser restarts and cloud synchronization status.
Configure team permissions by module and action, invite multiple members and renew invitation links.
Run or schedule RPA tasks from selected profiles, configure Google Sheets and webhooks through forms, and browse eight public workflow templates.
Enable automatic group vault synchronization, import bookmark files into group defaults and select proxies dynamically from a group at each start.
Create temporary API browser sessions with an expiration time and automatic cleanup.
Open Housekeeping as an isolated administrator-only workspace tab.
Review clearer audit entries with account email, IP and location, client source, profile and group; filter dates using a two-month range picker. Startup logs no longer include stop events.
Copy full profile UUIDs, expand truncated notes in animated tooltips and see relative modification times.
Improve navigation, menus, selection animations, checkmarks and dark-mode contrast; preserve profile counts when switching pages.
Serialize rapid stop/restart operations, clarify saving and cloud upload phases, and avoid request bursts when switching account pages.
Keep device sign-ins active until revoked by the server.
Existing published browser kernels remain in use. Additional Chromium builds and Docker browser support are not included in this release.
TabGecko 0.5.4
This update improves startup with saved accounts and makes cloud synchronization status clearer.
Save the confirmed account cache reliably so it is available on the next launch.
Show synchronization while session cookies are being saved after closing a browser.
Avoid showing warnings from the previous synchronization while a new one is in progress.
Rename the upload status to “Syncing with cloud”.
Online authorization for profile launches is unchanged. No new browser kernels are included.
TabGecko 0.5.3
TabGecko now includes an expanded English interface, consistent subscription information and improved account and team controls.
Switch between German and English in Settings; language selection persists across restarts.
Manage named team user groups and review historical browser launches, profile counts and member counts where records are available.
Use the aligned Free and Premium comparison, with 500 daily launches on Free and unlimited profile/member quotas for teams owned by a global administrator.
Improved two-factor authentication settings, copyable browser-kernel paths, Cloud Sync back navigation and profile filter controls.
Refined shared desktop/web icons and layouts, and display the application version in the window title.
Existing Chromium and Firefox kernel downloads remain available. The additional historical Chromium builds are not part of this release.
TabGecko 0.5.2
TabGecko now includes native browser restrictions, Google sign-in, and clearer cloud synchronization conflict handling.
Apply video, audio, notification, password viewing and saving, extension page, translation, and developer tool restrictions per group or profile with Chromium 154 revision 11.
Password viewing restrictions are enforced before Windows authentication; permitted developer automation remains available.
Sign in with Google and connect the desktop agent automatically. GitHub sign-in is not offered.
Resolve simultaneous group setting and trash changes by reviewing the local and cloud versions.
Updated shared desktop/web controls, profile logs, account views, API definitions, SDKs, and Postman collection.
Includes a signed kernel update catalog and verified installer checksums. The existing Firefox kernel remains available.
Chromium 149, 146, and 143 are not included in this release. Installer updates are manual.
TabGecko 0.5.0
TabGecko now uses one shared workspace in the desktop application and on the website, with account teams, gift-code subscriptions and updated browser kernels.
Redesigned proxy groups, group details, column controls, extension cards and update panels; larger Arial text, synchronized avatars and a clearer account card.
Added Subscription, Billing, Team Members and Audit Log navigation, account limits, usage reporting and administrator-generated Premium gift codes. Free accounts support five saved profiles and three team members; Premium supports 20,000 profiles, 20 members and 5,000 daily launches.
Added account-bound cloud synchronization, encrypted profile and vault key transfer, conflict protection and separate local stores for each account team.

Fixed profile update atomicity, permission checks, closed shadow-root credential capture, and UI alignment and dropdown behavior. Updated the API, SDKs and Postman collection to 0.5.0.
TabGecko 0.4.3
The Synchronizer and RPA workspace now follow the supplied automation interface references while retaining the existing execution engine.
Show open profiles in a Synchronizer table with source and follower selection, a side console for Windows, Text and Tabs, and a separate settings dialog.
Keep selected profiles visible when filtering groups and retain text inputs when switching console tabs.
Separate RPA workflows, schedules and execution history.
Open workflows in a visual editor with a searchable action palette, a large graph canvas and a settings inspector; retain the optional list view.
Add drag-and-drop insertion from the action palette, including a verified WebKit-compatible transfer path.
Validated with 24 Chromium/WebKit UI checks in light and dark themes, two drag-and-drop browser runs and packaged application checks. Synchronizer command payloads were tested with simulated running profiles; no foreground desktop test was performed. Browser kernels and database schema are unchanged. Missing reference features are documented locally rather than exposed as nonfunctional controls. The per-user Windows installer remains unsigned.
TabGecko 0.4.2
The manager now uses a compact workspace layout based on the supplied design references, while keeping existing profile and automation functions accessible.
Streamline profiles with group tabs, a split creation menu, compact rows, configurable columns and contextual actions.
Organize the profile editor into Overview, Proxy, Hardware and Advanced, with a live configuration summary.
Rework extension cards, groups, team sections and audit navigation; add quick access to updates and appearance.
Improve keyboard focus and floating menu placement in light and dark themes.
Extend Google Sheets actions with clearing cell values, reading rows by column headers and configurable append behavior.

Keep Settings and the installed version accessible at the bottom of the sidebar.
Improve navigation focus, scrolling and active states in light and dark themes.
Document confirmed differences from AdsPower and NSTBrowser; this release does not claim complete feature parity.
Browser packages and database schema remain unchanged. The installer runs per user without paid Authenticode signing.
TabGecko 0.4.0
Adds shared browser settings, an encrypted group account vault, and automatic team synchronization of cookies or complete browser state.
Manage group browser defaults, image loading, interface language, and DNS-over-HTTPS for Chromium and Firefox.
Save and fill shared login accounts through the manager or the opt-in browser vault extension, with explicit confirmation and checks for page address, frames, document changes, and revoked access.
Publish encrypted group account vaults to selected team members.
Configure automatic group synchronization with conflict protection, profile leases, session-cookie capture, and recoverable browser-state replacement.
Use group filters, shared profile selection, window arrangement, and optional global shortcuts in the Synchronizer console.
The Windows installer runs for the current user and does not require paid code signing. Existing data is migrated with a database backup; browser-vault access and automatic synchronization remain opt-in. Chromium 154.0.8037.57-r5 and Firefox 153.3.0-r6 are unchanged. Team services remain local unless deployed separately.
TabGecko 0.3.2
Adds controlled deletion of shared profiles and previous server versions.
Separate permissions for deleting complete shares and historical versions, with confirmation dialogs.
Active hosted sessions, profile leases and uploads protect a share from deletion. The current version cannot be deleted separately.
Deleted shares cannot be recreated through stale client links. Local profile copies remain available.
Interrupted file cleanup resumes safely and pending files still count toward storage limits.
Package validation now verifies that app, core and API versions match.
Chromium revision 5 and Firefox revision 6 are unchanged. The Windows installer is unsigned and supports installation for the current user. Team hosting remains local.
TabGecko 0.3.1
This update adds explicit profile sharing controls and local team browser execution.
Select recipients for individual profiles, including before their first publication. Revocation also blocks historical downloads and unfinished uploads.
Organize shared profiles in groups with combined group and individual access rules.
Restrict member roles with reusable permission groups for profile access, publication, local host execution, workflow sharing and team administration.
Explicitly allow selected published profiles to run headlessly on the local team host. Chromium and Firefox sessions have ownership checks, concurrency limits and automatic shutdown when access is revoked.
Extend the local API and generated TypeScript, Python and C# clients for these controls.
Team hosting remains local to this computer and uses the host owner's Windows account; it is not a separately isolated cloud service. Existing local copies are not erased when sharing is revoked. Host execution is disabled by default.
The browser kernels are unchanged: Chromium revision 5 and Firefox revision 6. The Windows installer is unsigned and supports installation for the current user.
TabGecko 0.2.0
This release expands Firefox support, browser automation, synchronized input, and local encrypted team workflows.
Adds native profile identity, regional language settings, Do Not Track, and location configuration. Chromium applies location settings before restoring tabs and preserves website permission decisions.
Extends RPA with file and spreadsheet actions, element loops, network events, a visual workflow editor, HTTP/webhooks, and Google Sheets integration.
Expands synchronized input across frames, shadow DOM, CodeMirror editors, and extension pages and popups.
Adds direct frame-content screenshots and native tab ordering in the supplied browser kernels.
Expands cookie transfer and website-storage exports, including partitioned storage and IndexedDB.
Adds profile-key rotation, combined master-password/Windows protection, and encrypted local team transfer with access checks.
Improves multi-tag filtering, dropdown keyboard handling, and narrow-window layouts.
Google Sheets requires a configured account. Team/cloud services are supplied for local operation; no hosted service is included. Profile identity settings do not emulate a different rendering engine or physical device. The Windows installer remains unsigned; browser-kernel updates retain Ed25519 verification.
TabGecko 0.1.0
First Windows release of ADBrowser for managing local Chromium profiles, proxies and browser data.
Manage profiles with groups, tags, advanced filters, templates and batch actions.
Configure HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS and SSH password proxies, verify exit-IP changes and use custom sticky-session templates.
Import and export cookies, bookmarks and encrypted profile packages; export local storage, create scheduled backups and restore profiles.
Use the included Chromium kernel with persistent extensions, profile timezone, fingerprint controls, measured consistency reports and local network protection.
Automate through the local API, MCP and TypeScript, Python or C# SDKs. AdsPower compatibility covers selected endpoints.
Install kernel packages through signed update manifests; app updates use the separate Windows installer feed.
The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed. Firefox, team/cloud synchronization, RPA and full encryption of browser files at rest are not included. GPU capabilities remain those of the actual hardware; this release does not guarantee undetectability or complete AdsPower/NSTBrowser parity.
