BriskBard

The latest security threats affecting many Intel and AMD CPUs cannot be ignored. To help mitigate Spectre and Meltdown attacks BriskBard now has the strict site isolation configuration option enabled by default for new installations. 

This version also introduces many enhancements, speed improvements and bug fixes in the user interface. Some of them will make it even easier to navigate through your browsing history or to quickly jump through the tabs using the mouse wheel. 

If you use the email client or the Usenet reader you will be happy to hear that the message editor and the message viewer are now much faster.
