Bulk-inserts <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg"> before
the </head> tag on every silentmode.st page that was missing it. All 36 site
HTML pages now advertise the chain-links favicon; browsers show it in tabs
and bookmarks across the whole umbrella site.
Pages touched (29): apps/, choose/*, deviant/* (7 pages under the parent
house), hephaestus/, hephaestus.x/* (9 chain-published mirror pages),
nav/ (redirect stub), register.html (redirect stub), sirius/,
sirius/register.html, store/ (redirect stub), tlds/.
Already had favicon from earlier passes (7): index.html, brand/,
tools/, prometheus/, helios/, hermes/, releases/.
Line-ending preservation: choose/index.html and sirius/register.html were
originally stored with CRLF endings; the plain Python read/write path
normalized them to LF and produced a noisy diff. Both files re-serialized as
CRLF before the favicon insert to keep the diff to +1 line each.
Deploy: rsync-equivalent tar-pipe to /opt/silent-mode/site/, plus per-file scp
for the two CRLF-corrected files. Verified live: 7 spot-checked URLs each
report exactly one <link rel="icon"> in served HTML.
- Security popover redesigned to resemble Firefox's site-info panel:
lock/shield hero, "Connection secure" status, host, plain-language
subtitle, and a details grid; the overlay view auto-sizes to content.
- Search-engine picker returned to the toolbar with an "Add / edit engines…"
entry that opens Settings; added Ecosia, Mojeek, Presearch.
- Custom search engines: add (name + URL template with %s) / remove in
Settings > General; used by address-bar search.
- Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address".
- Performance: cache the chain index (was rebuilt on every navigation) and
warm it at startup — .bch pages open near-instantly after the first.
- Loading indicator: indeterminate bar under the toolbar, per-tab spinner,
and reload⇄stop button (driven by did-start/stop-loading + BNS resolve).
- Chrome cleanup: removed the bottom status bar and the redundant search
box; security padlock now always present at the front of the address bar;
minimal ICANN/BCNR pill at the end; favorites bar shows only on new-tab.
- Search: added Yandex; engine picker moved into Settings > General.
- Settings redesigned with a left sidebar (General / Performance / Privacy /
Anti-fingerprinting). Anti-fingerprinting now Show/Hide/Spoof/Manual for
timezone, language, AND location (geolocation coords overridden in-page).
