Release Notes
# 🧿 Darkelf Cocoa Browser v7.1.2
**Media Compatibility & Privacy Refinements** · October 11, 2026
Darkelf Cocoa 7.1.2 improves video playback compatibility while retaining its native WebKit privacy and content-blocking architecture.
✨ Highlights
▶️ Video Playback Restored
**ESPN, NBA, and NHL videos** now play in developer testing with content filtering enabled.
Refined media compatibility handling in native WebKit content rules to avoid disrupting supported players.
🛡️ Adblocking Retained
**100/100 on Adblock Tester** in the tested configuration, with content rules active.
Site-specific compatibility exceptions may allow some requests that would otherwise be blocked. The score does not guarantee universal tracker blocking.
🎨 Native Cocoa Experience
Carries forward the compact, accent-aware **Move & Resize** window popover.
Retains Darkelf-styled context menus, keyboard shortcuts, accent synchronization, and custom browsing-data confirmation.
Preserves ephemeral browsing, fingerprinting defenses, WebRTC restrictions, and local MiniAI Sentinel monitoring.
🧪 Validation
**Confirmed in developer testing:** ESPN playback · NBA playback · NHL playback · Adblock Tester **100/100**.
**Still recommended before distribution:** Verify other streaming sites, homepage rendering, normal browsing, and the final signed/notarized DMG. Results may vary by site and system.
