We've been hard at work making Socialbrowse faster, stronger and overall cooler. We're now releasing version 0.4, which fixes a lot of the bugs you've been so helpfully reporting, along with some cool new features you've been asking for. You can grab the newest version of Socialbrowse from our update site.

Here are some of the main goodies you'll find in the new version:

Stacked comments

To help you save room and keep your feed organized, all comments for a single thread will now be stacked. This will look just like the stacked comments for shared links appear, which gives a better sense for the popularity of a particular discussion thread.

Email links to your friends

We want everyone in the world to be using Socialbrowse, but we recognize that we're still young and most of your real life friends probably aren't using Socialbrowse yet. So now we're giving you a chance to share links with your non-Socialbrowse-using friends with a single click (and a couple keystrokes)! To send any link to someone via email, just select the "Email it" item from the bottom of the share menu. A small box will show up in the corner of the page, similar to the comment box. You can submit your friends' email addresses and provide a personal message to be sent with the link. From there, Socialbrowse will send your friends an email with the link and your personal message!
      

Firefox updates

Previously we'd been using our own homegrown updating system to let you know when Socialbrowse has a newly released version. However, we think it'll be easier for our users to get notified, and receive updates, directly through Firefox. So this is the last manual update you'll need to do - after you grab this version, Firefox will let you know when all subsequent updates are ready to go.

Better performance

We've tweaked the way Socialbrowse saves and transmits data so it works even faster. Hopefully it wasn't slowing you down previously, but if it was, it should be better now!

What are you waiting for, it's time to update.
