Lots of new features for Peacock! I feel the main elements of the browser are down with this new version. Navigation has been cleaned up a lot, along with the interface becoming much more fluid. Code has been distributed and organized neatly across other JS scripts like tabs.js, web.js, blockchain.js and vpn.js, allowing more robust engineering for future modifications.

Yes! We now have a (buggy, but functional) adblocker, Peacock Shield more refined and given a dedicated icon. Peacock Shield will block trackers, ads, and privacy-intrusions that websites try to send.

On top of this, Peacock is now better integrated with Discord (join our server to learn more) and now supports Discord Rich Presence so you can show off to your friends that you're browsing.

Also, there is now a settings menu, divided by tabs, where you can manage your themes (including Light or Dark mode), view your history and sign in or out of your Blockstack account. All history is recorded on the Blockchain and is never sent to external databases or seen by anyone which you didn't directly authorize.

⭐ Setting Menu (with Tabs)

I've started working on documentation in the Wiki where I'll soon be posting guides on how to modify the light/dark themes along with how to create your own themes. I'll also create a wiki page listing all the keyboard shortcuts for those who'd like them. Feel free to leave any suggested guides (about things you had trouble with) on our Discord server.

DISCLAIMER: This is a very early build and shouldn't be used to store/browse any sensitive data.
