Developers also focused on user’s privacy. When any application accesses the microphone, an icon will pop up in your system tray, showing that something is listening. Vaults, a built-in utility to encrypt folders, are easier and more convenient to use.
Dolphin file and folder manager now opens folders you click on in new tabs instead of new windows.
