Releases

What changed in each version of Lobster Browser, newest first. Every version number names one build; nothing is ever republished under a number that has already shipped.

2.1.26Profiles moved between Windows and Linux stay signed in

Current

25 Sep 2026

A profile closed on a Windows computer and opened on Linux keeps its cookies, so Gmail and your other sites stay signed in. The same goes the other way round.
Profiles that already lost their sign-ins this way get them back the next time they open.
When a new version is available, the update button in the title bar is larger and has a green outline.
The app also looks for a new version when you switch back to its window, not only when it starts.
On Linux, later updates of the web-installer version keep the browser engine instead of downloading it again.

2.1.25The browser engine moves to Chromium 154

25 Sep 2026

Lobster’s browser engine is now Chromium 154 (154.0.8037.57), with two Chrome releases of security fixes and web platform updates.
Every profile now presents the exact Chrome version it runs, so a site never sees an older Chrome claimed by a newer engine.
The data websites keep in the browser itself (localStorage and IndexedDB, where many web apps hold your sign-in) is stored and read as it was before 2.1.16, so those sites stay signed in.
That site data now travels with the profile to your other computers and to cloud sessions, including data saved while 2.1.16 to 2.1.23 were installed.
On Ubuntu 23.10 and later, profiles open again when Lobster is started from the desktop: the Linux package now lets the browser engine build its security sandbox.
Settings saved in the web dashboard sync to the desktop app again.

2.1.23Importing a profile no longer freezes the app

23 Sep 2026

Importing or exporting a profile file keeps Lobster responsive: the progress shows as it goes, Cancel works, and Windows no longer reports the app as not responding.
When your plan has no free profile slot, the import says so as soon as you choose the file, before it asks for the file’s password.
After an update, Lobster always runs the browser engine that update brought; an older engine downloaded earlier no longer takes its place.

2.1.22Your accounts stay separate, and profiles that moved on elsewhere open again

23 Sep 2026

Signing out and into another account shows only that account’s profiles, proxies, templates and settings. Nothing of one account is uploaded into another, and each account’s profiles come back when it signs in again.
A profile you used in the cloud or on another computer opens here again: its newer session is restored, and if something on this computer keeps a file of the profile busy, Lobster retries and names what is holding it.
Your last session is never thrown away. If it could not be saved to your account when you closed the profile, it is kept on this computer and uploaded the next time you open the profile here.
Lobee carries on through a page dialog, a page that is still loading, a dropped connection to its model or an expired sign-in, instead of stopping with an error.
A profile whose proxy cannot be reached from this computer says so, instead of reporting that your account is offline, and proxies with several servers behind one name are tried one by one.
A cloud browser you left open is there when you come back: the picture reconnects by itself instead of staying black. And a password reset started from the app’s sign-in takes you straight back to the app, signed in.

2.1.20Profiles in the cloud, extensions for the account, and a browser that forgets

21 Sep 2026

Run a profile from the website: sign in at lobrowser.com and a profile with a proxy opens as a full-screen browser in your tab, on our machines, with your fingerprint and your proxy. A password set in the launcher unlocks it there too.
Extensions belong to your account. Add one once, see it with its icon and store id, update it, and put it into any profile; its settings travel with the profile from machine to machine.
Browsing history is never saved in any profile, and the Policy tab says so.
Lobee stops the instant you ask, copies any answer, tells you honestly what it managed when a task cannot be finished, downloads files into the profile’s own folder, and can change the browser’s settings for you.
Personas are truer: sharing follows the persona’s operating system, and a Windows persona on Linux gets that system’s own font measurements.
Folders sit behind one disclosure in the sidebar, and Block ads now reaches profiles started from the website.
