| 114 | |||
| 115 | * "Decode URLs" causes percent-coding to be decoded for the user interface, so one can see international characters in URLs. | ||
| 116 | * "Maximum URL size" sets a limit for how long URLs can be. While Gemini servers are required to enforce a limit of 1024 bytes for URLs, this setting affects all URLs regardless of scheme. Link lines with URLs longer than this will be presented as plain text. | ||

This allows back and forward navigation to happen instantly, without any network requests. | 120 | When navigating to a new page, the old page is cached in memory.
