A little more useful with every update

Changes that make a difference to you, newest first. Small fixes aren't listed one by one.

  1. Smoother and faster on your phone

    • Bottom navigation, easier buttons

      On phones the main pages sit at the bottom of the screen within thumb reach, and small text and buttons are larger.

    • More than twice as fast to open

      On a 4G connection the homepage shows content in about 2 seconds, down from about 6. Images, fonts and translations load only what's needed.

    • Add it to your home screen

      Open it in one tap like an app; pages you've read work offline. In My checklist, tap “Add to home screen” for steps that match your browser.

    • The site in 3 minutes

      A short walkthrough video on the homepage, in all five languages.
