Swipes between spaces that keep working, sign-ins that stay, Zen in Bring In, and a lighter column.
Added
Rewrites in place
Improve, Fix, Translate and the other rewrites write their result where the selected words were, in the page's own type, with one bar under it: hold ⌥ for the original, Copy, or Replace ↩.
Bring in from Zen
Settings › Bring In takes bookmarks and history from Zen and Firefox. Passwords come in from their own CSV export.
Bookmarks show
Settings › Appearance › Bookmarks show: icons and names, icons only, or folders named and sites as icons.
Folders for agents
An agent can take tabs out of a folder, put them in one, or ungroup a folder, each undone like the column's own.
Sign-in links from mail
A sign-in link that comes by mail is offered in the corner, and Open follows it.
Play from the foot
A paused video at the column's foot has ▶ at the row's end, to play it again where it is.
Improved
A faster column
The column is drawn by AppKit now: switching spaces with many tabs takes about half the time, and it uses less memory.
Quicker launch
An extension that waits for something starts when it is first needed, so Veb comes up sooner.
Less waiting
Saving tabs, history and icons no longer holds up typing or scrolling.
Mail in the foot
Mail sits among the spaces at the column's foot, numbered like them.
Selection in ⌘T
With text selected, ⌘T lists the selection's commands first, and typing picks one.
History first in ⌘T
Pages you've visited, Ask and Task come before the search engine's suggestions, four of them at most.
The band slides
With the column on the right, the band with the lights slides the page, the bookmarks and the chat down whole instead of making the page shorter.
Extensions at launch
Every extension's button shows at once, and no welcome page opens again.
Fewer redraws
The column and the tabs redraw less when a setting or a page changes.
The plus on the right
With the column on the right, the plus at its foot sits nearest the page.
Fixed
Split View from a peek
A peek from a pinned tab opens in Split View beside a copy of the pin, as in Arc.
NordPass
Its button works when pressed right as Veb comes up or while it sleeps.
Proton Pass
Its icons and passkey prompts inside a page no longer stop on a missing browser call.
Swipes between spaces
Two fingers sideways over the column switch spaces again after a while of use.
Spaces over each other
Mid-swipe, the leaving space's name and pins no longer show over the incoming one.
Signed out less
Sign-ins kept only for the session survive a crash or Force Quit, and a site that renews its sign-in in the background no longer signs the tab out.
Renamed tabs
A renamed kept tab keeps its name after it browses away from its page.
Rabby Wallet
Rabby's popup opens, and sites find the wallet.
AdBlock
AdBlock's background no longer stops at every launch, and it blocks on every page from the first request.
Wallet welcome tabs
Rabby and MetaMask open their welcome tab once, in the space it was asked from.
Extension changelogs
An extension no longer opens its welcome or changelog page at every launch.
Extensions in private tabs
Allow in Private Tabs lets an extension work there.
1Password on local pages
1Password no longer errors on a page whose address has a port.
A page's picture in picture
A page's own picture in picture opens its window again instead of a tab.
Looping videos
A looping video's time in the player card goes round instead of stopping at the end.
The player's place
The player at the column's foot sits 6 points in from the window, never on its edge.
Settings › Tabs
Two switches there show their new state at once.
