New in version 6.10.1
Pages that fail to load now show the "this page could not be reached" message and a retry button, instead of going blank.
The loading bar now starts moving the moment you submit a form or open a link, instead of waiting for the site to answer first.
The tab list now names the group your tabs are in even when they are all in the same one, so it is always clear which group you are browsing in.
MetaGer.de is a German meta search engine with a focus on privacy and variety of results, run by the non-profit SUMA-EV.
This app is a full browser built around that search: native, fast, and private by default.
• Search your way: switch between web, image, news, science and product search, all in one tap.
• Tab groups: keep work, shopping and private browsing apart, each with its own cookies, logins and history — move a tab into another group whenever you like.
• Anonymous search: your MetaGer key for ad-free searches is separated from your queries by blind signatures.
• Account and top-up without leaving the app: sign in once, or hand your key to another device with a QR code.
• Tracker and ad blocking, on from the start.
• Set MetaGer as your default browser: links from other apps open here, protected the same way.
• Address bar with local history — encrypted on-device, never on a server.
• Instant dark, light or system theme.
• Open anonymously: view a page in a remote browser without loading it yourself.
• No account required, no profile, no advertising IDs.
The source code of this app is free (AGPL-3.0).

Settings now has a "What's new" entry showing the full release history, right in the app.
Fixed the browser menu's last row being partly hidden behind the on-screen navigation bar on devices without gesture navigation.
