New Figma Project Organisation

I have added new default thumbnails to every Figma file, as well as special thumbnails for Design System files. The Design System includes icons, UI kits for various platforms (such as Android and Windows), logos, and color files.

These new thumbnails make it easier to navigate the project in the Atom Browser.

Widgets Feed

We added this feature based on user feedback. Users had been requesting for a long time to have a feed with only useful widgets, as the default feed was previously only news and other inner services.

This new feed has boosted our key metrics, including daily active users (DAU) and time spent on the platform.

Windows users now have the option to exclusively receive a widget feed by turning off all other feeds. With this update, users can easily customize their desktop experience by dragging and dropping widgets to their desired location and hiding any unnecessary ones.

This provides users with greater control and flexibility over their desktop widgets, allowing them to optimize their workspace and streamline their workflow.

Transparent Mode

The latest update for Windows includes a new feature called "transparent mode" which allows users to customize their desktop experience. With this feature, users can automatically set their background picture to create a light or dark blur effect depending on the picture's color scheme. This provides a seamless and aesthetically pleasing user experience, allowing users to enjoy a personalized desktop that matches their preferences.

Picture in Picture

Picture in Picture (PiP) is a new feature that allows users to continue watching videos or engage in video calls while performing other tasks on their device. With PiP, users can keep the video playing in a small window that floats on top of other windows, providing a convenient and non-intrusive way to multitask.

Users can resize the PiP window, move it around on the screen, or even hide it temporarily, while the audio continues to play in the background. This feature is especially useful for those who need to keep an eye on a video tutorial, a live stream, or a video conference call while working on other tasks simultaneously.

With PiP, users can enjoy a seamless and uninterrupted viewing experience, without having to sacrifice productivity or compromise on their workflow.

VK Play Integration

VK Games Integration is a new feature that has been added to the Atom browser for Windows, providing gamers with weak computers an exciting new way to play their favorite games. With this feature, users can access the VK Games streaming platform directly from the browser and play games without needing to install them on their computer.

This feature is particularly useful for those who have lower-end computers and cannot run games with high system requirements. With VK Games Integration, users can stream games in real-time from the VK Games platform, allowing them to play even the most demanding games without the need for expensive hardware.

VK Sales Integration

VK Sales Integration is a new feature that has been added to the Atom browser for Windows, providing sales lovers with an easy and convenient way to manage their VK Sales account directly from the browser. This feature now includes a new addition, allowing users to access different sales and coupons for various goods.

This feature is particularly useful for those who love finding deals and promotions on a wide variety of goods on VK Sales. By offering different sales and coupons for various goods, sellers can attract more customers and increase their sales revenue.

Cloud Extension

Cloud Extension is a new feature that has been added to the Atom browser for Windows, providing users with a seamless and convenient way to load and download files without closing websites. With this feature, users can easily manage their files without interrupting their browsing experience.

The Cloud Extension feature allows users to store their files in the cloud, giving them the ability to access and download them at any time, from any device. This feature is particularly useful for those who frequently work with large files or need to access files across multiple devices.

With Cloud Extension, users can seamlessly upload and download files without interrupting their browsing experience. This feature allows them to continue browsing their favorite sites while the files are uploading or downloading in the background.

Site Sharing

This is redesign of Google Chrome feature to share a site. We changed default Chrome services to share and added services that popular among our users.

Our goal is to provide users with a more personalized and convenient sharing experience. By offering a range of services that cater to different preferences and needs, we hope to make sharing websites as easy and efficient as possible.

With this new redesign, users can now access a wider range of sharing options, including popular services that are not available by default in Chrome. This means that users can choose the service that best fits their needs and share websites with just a few clicks.
