Terminology (user-facing labels now match the product/registry distinction):
- BCDN = Bitcoin Cash Domain Names (the product — what you view)
- BCNR = Bitcoin Cash Name Registry (the on-chain system that backs it)
Chrome badge, popover, Settings section and 'Open with…' prompt all show BCDN
for a resolved name. BCNR stays only where the registry itself is the subject.
'Open with…' prompt (collision.html):
- Larger window (640x520, was 480x340)
- Radio-select pattern with explicit Open / Cancel buttons (was auto-fire on click)
- Enter = Open, Esc = Cancel, keyboard-first
- Body copy per operator spec (no product-name-in-parens; blockchain-generic)
- Card titles kept short: 'BCNR / BCDN' + 'ICANN / IANA'
Address-bar chip:
- Says BCDN (not BCNR) for on-chain names; ICANN for web
- Dropped the '·.tld' suffix — TLD is already in the URL bar
- On collision candidates: shows BOTH chips (BCDN | ICANN) with active
highlighted; clicking the inactive one flips the tab (via collision-switch)
Settings section renamed Naming → Registries. Copy rewritten in the same
BCDN/BCNR frame; policy labels are now 'BCDN first' / 'ICANN first' / 'Ask
each time'.
Passive 'also on BCNR' bar copy updated to BCDN.
Verified: all preload/settings/main/chrome JS + HTML parse; no secrets in
staging.
Theseus soft-mode UX: 'Open with...' modal on collision, per-name/per-TLD
overrides, live per-tab switcher in the site-info popover, and a Naming section
in Settings for policy + reset. Backed by an on-chain root TLD certificate
(tlds.bch) that resolver-web.js discovers via fetchBcnrTlds()/isBcnrNativeTld().
Companion pieces:
- Argus/src/indexer/ELECTRUM-SOURCE-README.md — the featherweight VPS variant
(no BCHN node, no Fulcrum) now live as bns-indexer.service.
- Argus/DESIGN-root-tld-cert.md — clarified: NOT a governance workflow, just
ordinary key management (single wallet MVP -> 2-of-3 multisig). List gates
registration / surgical NRPT / soft-mode classifier — never resolution.
- ROADMAP-IDEAS.md — recorded SiaGit/GitHub.sia + user-friendly Sia UI ideas.
Full spec: Argus/DESIGN-collision-modes.md (already tracked).
Each engine row in Settings has a drag handle (⠿) and is draggable; dropping
onto another row reorders and persists via setEngineOrder, driving the
toolbar dropdown order. Visual drag/over states included.
- Search engines can be reordered (▲/▼ per row); order persists in
settings.engineOrder and drives the toolbar dropdown order.
- Manual anti-fingerprinting values are now dropdown-or-type (datalist):
timezone (common IANA zones), language (common locales), and a city picker
for location that fills exact lat/lon — each still accepts free typing.
- Privacy fix: enumerateDevices() leaked speaker (audiooutput) labels + device/
group IDs even with camera/mic blocked. New "Hide media devices" (default on)
blanks every device's label/deviceId/groupId and collapses to one per kind,
matching Firefox — closes the WebRTC device-fingerprinting leak.
- Anti-fingerprinting moved into the Privacy section (own sidebar item removed).
- Location spoof: pick a world region (Europe/Asia/N&S America/Africa/Middle
East/Australia) → representative coordinates, or Manual for exact lat/lon.
- Language spoof: pick from the top-10 world languages, or Manual for any locale.
- Custom engine dropdown as a floating overlay view (engine-picker.html) that
renders REAL favicons per engine — a native <select> can't show images.
- Larger catalog (DuckDuckGo/Google/Brave/Bing/Startpage/Yandex/Ecosia/Mojeek/
SearXNG/Wikipedia/Perplexity); Settings has a favicon checklist to choose
which appear in the dropdown (enabledEngines), plus manual add/remove.
- OpenSearch "scan": pages advertising a search engine surface an
"Add <site>'s search" entry in the dropdown.
- Toolbar search box now just a magnifier button that opens the dropdown
(no per-engine icon in the bar).
- Each search engine shows a symbol in the toolbar dropdown, the placeholder,
and Settings (🦆 DuckDuckGo, 🦁 Brave, 🔵 Google, 🔎 Bing, 🛡️ Startpage,
🔴 Yandex); custom engines take an optional symbol (defaults to 🔍).
- Fix: light-theme @media blocks for settings/popover/home were placed before
the base rules and lost the cascade (sidebar stayed dark) — moved them last.
- Light/dark/system theme (Settings > General) via nativeTheme.themeSource
driving prefers-color-scheme across chrome, settings, popover, and home.
- Search box redesigned: a magnifier icon opens the engine dropdown, the rest
is a wider typing field; styled to match the browser (was a raw <select>).
- Trimmed built-in engines to DuckDuckGo/Google/Brave/Bing/Startpage/Yandex;
custom engines still add/remove via "Add / edit engines…".
- WebRTC: the "WebRTC Network Limiter" extension can't run in Electron
(chrome.privacy API is unavailable), so its function is now a native
4-mode WebRTC IP policy in Settings > Privacy.
- Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address".
- 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).
