+
+this update enhances the cobalt experience all around, here's everything that we added or changed since 10.0:
+
+### saving improvements:
+- youtube videos encoded in av1 are now downloaded in the webm container. they also include opus audio for the best quality all around.
+- fixed various bugs related to the download process on older devices/browsers. cobalt should work everywhere *within sane limits*.
+- fixed downloading of twitch clips.
+- fixed a bug where cobalt wouldn't download bluesky videos that are in a post with a quote.
+- fixed a bug that caused some youtube music videos to fail to download due to differently formatted metadata.
+- cobalt will no longer unexpectedly open video files on iOS. instead, a dialog with other options will be shown. this had to be done due to missing "download" button in safari's video player. you can override this by enabling [forced tunneling](/settings/privacy#tunnel).
+- fixed a bug in filename generation where certain information was added to the filename even if cobalt didn't have it (such as youtube video format).
+
+### general ui/ux improvements:
+- added a button to quickly copy a link to the section in settings or about page.
+- added `(remux)` to filenames of remuxed videos to distinguish them from the original file.
+- improved the look & behavior of the sidebar.
+- fixed cursor appearance to update correctly when using the sidebar or subpage navigation.
+- added a stepped scroller to the donation options card [on the donate page](/donate).
+- tweaked the [donate page](/donate) layout to be cleaner and more flexible.
+- fixed tab navigation for donation option buttons.
+- updated the [10.0 changelog banner](/updates#10.0) to be less boring.
+- fixed a bug that caused some changelog dates to be displayed a day later than intended.
+- changelog banner can now be saved with a right click.
+- cobalt version now gently fades in on the [settings page](/settings).
+- fixed the position of the notch easter egg on iPhone XR, 11, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max.
+- cobalt will let you paste the link even if the anti-bot check isn't completed yet. if anything goes wrong regarding anti-bot checks, cobalt will let you know.
+- fixed a bunch of typos and minor grammatical errors.
+
+### about page improvements:
+- added motivation section to the [general about page](/about/general).
+- added a list of beta testers to the [credits page](/about/credits).
+- rephrased some about sections to improve clarity and readibility.
+- made about page body narrower to be easier to read.
+- added extra padding between sections on about page to increase readibility.
+
+### internal improvements:
+- cobalt now preloads server info for quicker access to supported services & loading turnstile on demand.
+- converted all elements and the about page to be translatable in preparations for community-sourced translations *(coming soon!)*.
+- added `content-security-policy` header to restrict and better prevent XSS attacks.
+- moved the turnstile bot check key to the server, making it load the script on the client only if necessary.
+- fixed a bug in the api that allowed for making requests without a valid `Accept` header if authentication wasn't enabled on an instance.
