Plugins

Plugins add things the Browser leaves out by default, like headlines on the home page or a food order in the Dynamic Island. Every plugin is made by 1zero and is built into the app, but none of it runs until you install it. Removing one takes it away again and keeps its settings for next time.

The Plugins page

Open it from the browser menu with Plugins Marketplace, or go to onezero://plugins.

Plugins are grouped by where they show up: New tab page, Dynamic Island, and Miscellaneous. Switch to Installed to see only yours.

A plugin's page says what it does, where it shows, and what it reads. A plugin marked Coming soon needs a newer version of the Browser.

Managing plugins

Settings → Plugin marketplace lists what you've installed. Each row has:

• A switch that turns the plugin off without removing it.
• A button for its settings.
• Remove.

Each plugin's settings start with Tips: ways to use it that its settings don't show, like a command to type in the command center. A tip with a command has Try it, which opens the command center with the command typed in.

Some plugins add actions to the wheel and to gestures. Find them under Plugins in Settings → Wheel → Add action. An action stays in your list if you turn its plugin off, but does nothing until the plugin is back.

What's sent

• The list of plugins comes from 1zero's website, so new plugins can appear without an app update.
• When you install, remove, or switch off a plugin, the Browser tells 1zero's website which plugin it was, along with the app's version and platform. Nothing in it tells one browser from another. These reports add up to the install counts on the Plugins page.

What each plugin reads and sends is listed with it below.

New tab page

These show under the home page's search box. Change their order in Settings → Appearance → Home page.

Stocks

The day's most active US stocks, biggest gainers, and biggest losers, each with its price, change, and volume, plus how the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow did. Pick a stock to open it on Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, TradingView, or Stocktwits.

It shows popular stocks, not a watchlist, so everyone gets the same list and 1zero never learns which stocks you look at. The list updates a few times a day, not live. Penny stocks and warrants, units and rights are left out unless you turn them on, and you can hide any stock you don't want to see.

News

A short list of today's headlines from the topics you pick, plus any RSS or Atom feeds you add.

• Headlines from 1zero come from 1zero's server. Only the topic is sent.
• Your feeds are read by the Browser itself, so 1zero never sees them.
• Blocked sources keeps stories from sites you list off the page.

You can show 3, 6, or 9 stories, with or without pictures. A story opens in a new tab.

YouTube

A few videos from your YouTube home feed, or the newest from your subscriptions. It uses the YouTube account you're signed in to in the Browser, and asks YouTube directly, so nothing goes to 1zero and the feed isn't saved to disk.

Type yt or youtube in the search box and up to five of the videos are listed there too, after the suggestions. Turn that off with In the search box. They never show in incognito windows.

Unlimited shortcuts

The home page holds 12 shortcuts. With this plugin it holds as many as you pin, row after row. Remove it and the first 12 stay on the home page; the rest are kept and come back if you install it again.

Tabs on the home page

Your open tabs and folders, drawn as the command center draws them, under the home page's shortcuts. Press a tab to go to it, or a folder to open it in place, and back out with Backspace or Esc. Arrow keys, Enter, right-click menus, and dragging work as they do in the command center. Locked folders stay locked.

Turn off Snapshots to show each site's icon instead of a preview. Everything stays on your computer.

Dynamic Island

These show in the Dynamic Island, the pill at the top of the window.

Spotify in the Dynamic Island

What the Spotify app on your computer plays shows in the island the same way a song playing in a tab does: the cover, the song and artist, and play, pause, skip, and seek. Volume works on macOS and Linux.

• Show Spotify: while it plays, or whenever a song is up.
• Pause for videos pauses Spotify when a tab starts a video with sound. Play again after the video starts it again once the video stops. Both are on to start with.

On a Mac, macOS asks once whether the Browser may control Spotify. If you said no, the plugin's settings show how to allow it in System Settings. The Browser talks only to the Spotify app; nothing is sent anywhere.

DoorDash in the Dynamic Island

Track a DoorDash order in a tab, then switch away. The island shows the store, the ETA, DoorDash's four steps as they fill in, and the Dasher's pickup and drop-off photos. It shows when the order's delivered or canceled.

Uber Eats in the Dynamic Island

The same for an Uber Eats order: the store, a countdown to the ETA, and the order's steps.

Both delivery plugins read the order's page on your computer and send nothing. In their settings, Show the order picks whether the island shows it only while you're in another tab or on the order's page too, and Keep a finished order sets how long it stays after it's done.

Miscellaneous

Discord Rich Presence

Your Discord status shows what you're up to in the Browser. It needs the Discord app running on your computer, and talks only to that app.

To start with, your status only says you're browsing. You choose what else to share:

• Share what's playing on: pick sites like YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, and Twitch to show the video or song itself, with its picture, a link, and your progress.
• Share the site you're on and Page titles for other sites.
• Hidden sites are never shared.

Nothing is shared while you're in an incognito window. The plugin's settings show whether Discord is connected and a preview of your status.

Privacy mode

For screen shares and recordings. Email addresses, IP addresses, phone and card numbers, sign-in codes, and the words and names you list are blurred on every page and in form fields before they're drawn. Underneath, the text is swapped for look-alike letters, so even a screenshot with the blur removed shows nonsense.

Hover a blur to see what it hides, and click to reveal it. Turn it on and off from any page with ⌘Ctrl⌥AltB, which you can change in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts. Your list of words and names is hidden each time you open its settings, so sharing your screen there doesn't show it either. Pages are read on your computer, never sent.

Focus mode

Blocks the sites you list until you're done, for a set time, on a weekly schedule, or until you turn it off. See Focus mode.

Locked folders

Keeps a folder of tabs behind a 4-digit PIN. In the command center, right-click a folder and pick Lock folder…, or select its card and press ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftL.

A locked folder shows a padlock instead of its tabs, its tabs stay out of search, and its visits are kept out of your normal history. Opening it asks for the PIN. Its menu has Change PIN… and Remove lock…, which both ask for the PIN first, and Lock now while it's open. Lock all folders is in the menu of the command center's empty space.

In its settings:

After a few wrong guesses you have to wait before trying again. The PIN never leaves your computer.

Limits worth knowing:

• Folders in incognito windows can't be locked.
• A tab from a locked folder that's on screen stays open until you leave it.
• Cookies, site data, downloads, and per-site settings are shared with your other tabs, so a locked folder's tabs stay signed in to the same accounts.
• Switching the plugin off or removing it keeps your locks in place. It never opens a folder.

Cat tower

Seven cats stacked in the bottom right of the command center, behind your tabs. It has no settings; remove it in Settings → Plugin marketplace.
