v3.3.0 ✨Hidden Orion from Webb
This release contains many amazing new features, bug fixes and UI improvements.
For example: it is now possible to send and receive onchain bitcoin by signing with your Alby Master Key (You can try our demo wallet at https://getalby.github.io/bitcoin-wallet/). This is possible with the new Alby window.webbtc provider API. We have improved control over site access by splitting permissions for different providers such as nostr and webLN - therefore you know exactly what functionality you are enabling for the site. We've improved Login with Lightning so now that if you don't have a master key yet, you'll be guided on how to set one up. We've improved the UX for paying HOLD invoices, and added a new method to our extension APIs to check whether providers have been enabled in the past or not without having to launch a popup. There are also many bug fixes and updated translations! 🚀
