Version v3.2.0-beta.1
Beta, released on July 12, 2026
Trails® have evolved through years of making them work with every odd website under the sun, and that has consumed most of Horse’s development time. If you have wondered why Horse does not sprout new features at the pace of other browsers, the answer is usually that one rider found an internal company dashboard doing something unspeakable with a link, and Trails had to learn its customs.
This beta changes how Trails are made. Horse now lets each website do its peculiar little thing, then builds the right Trail around what happened. Let me know if anything changes on your favorite sites, for better or worse!

- Clicking a photo that opens a lightbox now opens the lightbox, instead of killing it and forking a Trail to the raw image link.
- “Sign in with…” buttons embedded inside a page now fork a Trail, instead of replacing the page you were reading.
- Links that hit a brief connection wobble still fork properly, instead of replacing the page you started from.
- Pressing Enter on a focused link now forks a Trail, same as clicking it.
- Links whose site does its own navigation now take you where the site intended, not to the link’s fallback address.
- App-like sites that switch pages without reloading no longer confuse Trails; their links fork like anywhere else.
- Following a link in one window no longer makes another window show the right page under the wrong Trail.
- Downloading a file and then going Back no longer leaves a duplicate Trail behind.
- A wildcard in your Trail exclusions no longer matches look-alike domains; excluding `*.x.com` no longer also excludes `netflix.com`.
