Version v3.3.0

Released on August 9, 2026

Horse runs extensions now. 1Password, uBlock Origin Lite, and Dark Reader are first through the gate: passwords unlock, ads disappear, the lights go down, and your Trails remain gloriously unlike tabs. This is what computers are for. Hand them the chores and keep the good part for your brain.

  • Extensions have arrived. Install 1Password, uBlock Origin Lite, and Dark Reader from Settings, keep the ones you use pinned above your Trails, and open their complete menus from the cog.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts has its own screen, listing every shortcut Horse answers to and letting you change the ones that bother you.
  • Clicking “Add an account” in 1Password opens sign-in as a Trail instead of flashing up a window that immediately disappears.
  • Extension windows stay steady while loading, respect dark mode, and keep their rounded corners and shadows on Mac.
  • Settings behaves like a proper desktop menu from the cog through Extensions and down to an extension’s own actions.
  • Saddlepack recognises more login forms, including sign-ins where the password appears after the username, and avoids treating account creation or password changes as ordinary sign-ins.
  • Welcome and Settings stay visible when you resize the window.
  • Pasting a full address into Trail exclusions saves the correct site and keeps working over time.
  • Navigating away no longer replaces a real parent Trail title with its address.
  • More interrupted, retried, and rapidly repeated navigation keeps the correct Trail selected and preserves Back and Forward.
  • When a Trail crosses from one site to another, the old site’s icon no longer follows it.
  • Deleting several selected Trails at once closes exactly those Trails after confirmation.
  • With more than one window open, extensions see the tab you are actually on instead of another window’s tab.
  • On Windows and Linux, clicking a link while Horse is closed opens it as soon as the window is up instead of waiting on the network.
  • Pages that constantly create and remove embedded frames, like Feedly, no longer trigger a “Render frame was disposed” error dialog.
  • One plus button now covers everything you can make: a Trail, Note, Folder, or Trailhead.
  • Horse now relies on extensions for ad blocking and dark mode. If you had either feature switched on, Horse carries that choice into uBlock Origin Lite or Dark Reader for you once and tells you.
  • Extensions can only read and touch the sites their permissions name.
  • On Mac, Horse now has its permanent official identity. If you use 1Password desktop unlock, add Horse to its accepted browsers once more; later Horse updates keep this identity.

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha (煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan.
Types of sencha

The types of sencha are distinguished by when they are harvested. Shincha(新茶, "new tea") represents the first month's harvest of sencha. Basically, it's the same as ichibancha(一番茶, "first tea"), which is the first harvest of the year.

Kabusecha (かぶせ茶) is sencha grown in the shade for about a week before harvest. Asamushi (浅蒸し) is lightly steamed sencha, while fukamushi (深蒸し) is deeply steamed sencha.

Production

Sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried immediately after harvest to prevent oxidation. This process preserves the fresh, grassy flavor that sencha is known for.

The steaming process used in making sencha is what differentiates it from Chinese green teas, which are typically pan-fired. The duration of the steaming process affects the final taste and color of the tea.

Brewing

Sencha is typically brewed at lower temperatures than black tea or oolong tea. The ideal water temperature is usually between 60–80°C (140–176°F), with brewing time ranging from 1 to 2 minutes.

The tea can be brewed multiple times, with each infusion revealing different flavor notes. The first brew tends to be more astringent and fresh, while subsequent brews become milder and sweeter.
