A quick update for Goosle fixing a number of bugs and including a bunch of useful tweaks. Version 1.6.1 improves some elements introduced in version 1.6.
The DuckDuckGo engine has a more direct scrap instruction. Tooltips introduced in 1.6 now also work reliably on smaller screens. Pagination is more spaced out so it’s easier to tap the pages on phones. And a number of bugs with features that were introduced recently have been resolved.
