Wrapping up Week 11/2025

Welcome to our weekly look back.

The biggest issue this week surely was the hiccup at Verifone, who mixed up purchase confirmation templates. Thankfully, no customer data was leaked, but we spent a lot of time researching due to lack of timely support from their side.

On the bug fixing side, we’ve fixed support for the latest Opera browsers, which is not yet in the updates, but led to an updated BrowsAlyzer, which will be released as BrowsAlyzer 5.1 next week.

The Firefox Privacy Policy changes from last month led us to play around with Firefox alternatives and discussing some inspirations gathered during that.

Some of our regular development systems this week have started to move to Windows Arm64, strengthening our existing support for this platform.
