Released Mar 7, 2025 - 443.74 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterNew Features- Multiple URL Targets: A single bang can now open multiple URLs at once! (#33) This feature unlocks quite some useful possibilities, such as getting multiple translations for a text, opening your favorite new outlets at once, or quickly launching all your work-related sites (e.g., Jira, Confluence, GitHub, etc.). It's up to you what other uses you give it.
- Custom Base URL: The base URL is the URL that is opened when a bang is triggered without arguments. Until now, this feature was quite limited, but with this new version you can customize it with any arbitrary URL! (#34)

Version 0.9.26

Changed- When you add a new bang, the first text input will now be focused and ready for you to type.
Did you know?- You can also use bangs as site shortcuts (without specifying
{{{s}}}). For example, to quickly access the Yang! settings, you can add a bang!ywith the URL of the extension (note that this URL might change every now and then).
Non-user-facing Changes- This version embeds some performance improvements. For example, search engines tend to make a lot of requests aside from the search request itself (e.g., to pre-fetch data, telemetry, etc.). We now employ a more aggressive filtering, so that all these unrelated requests are not considered by Yang!.
