🚨 New Alby Browser Extension release! 🐝

v3.7 🪼 The Jellyfish Nebula Supernova Remnant

Some exciting stuff comes with this one, let's dive in

Alby goes to 🧭Safari on iPhone, Macs and iPads

Now you're able to use Alby Browser Extension in Safari browser on any device!

🔑 Use any Nostr web client on your phone with your keys safely stored in the extension

⚡ Seemless, QR-codeless web lightning payments that you know Alby for now come to any iPhone

⏳ To use Alby in Safari, you'll need to install a companion app from App store. We're still waiting for it to be approved, it should happen some time this week!

🔐 Improved Nostr permissions management

We hear you! No more annoying popup, appearing one after the other, constantly requesting you to sign stuff.

Now, when connecting with client for the first time, you can choose permission policy, depending how much you trust the client:

❤️ I fully trust it — Alby will auto-sign any Nostr request, except payments (at least until deliberately you set a budget)

👍 Let's be reasonable — Alby won't ask you to confirm most social medial request, like reactions, follows, decrypting messages, etc. It will ask you for unknown Nostr kinds and some potential intrusive ones, like relay updates or profile metadata updates.

🕶️ I'm a bit paranoid — This works like Alby worked up to this point — Alby will ask you for every request, until you change it's policy for this kind of requests

Speaking of gradual permissions control, this also got improved!

🔏 Whenever there is a Nostr request, you can easily change permissions policy for its kind or all Nostr requests for the client you interact with.

🔙 You can always revoke granted single permissions in site settings.

💵 Stablesats integration for @blinkbtc:

😍 You can now choose stablesats while connecting your Blink wallet to Alby Extension

$ Extension will only display fiat amounts for that wallet

💡If you want to use both bitcoin and stablesats from your Blink wallet, just connect it twice to the extension: first choosing BTC and next time stablesats
