1Password on macOS 26, Slack's app links, sites that ask where you are, and AI helpers on ChatGPT too.
Added
Other mail accounts
Experimental: iCloud, Zoho, Yahoo, Fastmail and other IMAP mail next to Gmail, with an app password. Turn it on in Settings › Experimental › Other Mail Accounts. Set It Up has an agent make the app password when the provider's page is signed in.
Improved
AI helpers on ChatGPT
Replies written ahead, a split's line, splits made from words, Space and ⌘J in a reply, and form drafts work with ChatGPT as well as Claude.
Agents upload files
An agent uploads the file you named itself, on a hidden file field, a drop zone or a button like "+ Add App Icon", and the open panel stays shut.
⌘` for tabs
The tab switcher can take ⌘` in Settings › Shortcuts, as in Arc and Dia.
Agent mail from the right account
With more than one mail account, an agent's new mail goes only from the one you name, never from whichever comes first.
Passwords in sign-in frames
Saved passwords are offered, filled and saved in a sign-in frame from another site too, such as Apple's on App Store Connect.
Kept-awake sites
Settings › Tabs shows a remove button on a kept-awake site when the pointer is over it.
Repeat with tabs
A routine made with Repeat that keeps its tabs up to date gets its folder of tabs, as one saved in Settings does.
Fixed
1Password
1Password works on macOS 26.4 and 26.5: its worker kept restarting, so its button opened nothing and its row was full of warnings.
Extension warnings
An extension's row warns only of what Veb or macOS got wrong, not of errors in the extension's own code, as in Chrome.
Links to apps
Slack's "Redirecting..." page opens Slack again, and so do other pages that open an app from a frame of their own.
Location
A site asking where you are gets Veb's card, then macOS's own question, then your location.
Closed tabs
A tab brought back with ⌘⇧T or from Recently Closed keeps its Back, as in Chrome, and the mouse's side buttons go back and forward as the toolbar's do.
Importing extensions
Extensions brought in from Arc or Chrome no longer open their sign-in or welcome pages, as Claude's did.
Mail from Now
A Now row with a mail opens its thread in a card over the page you are on; ⌘O takes it to mail's space.
Leaving Mail
Leaving Mail's space no longer brings you straight back when Mail's pin was the tab in front, and a long thread in Now's card opens at once.
ChatGPT's icon
ChatGPT's tab shows its icon again, not a letter: a site behind a bot check now gets its icon.
Spaces row
After an update, the What's new button no longer turns the spaces' emoji into dots.
Sidebar
The sidebar no longer redraws itself whole when a space is made or deleted, or a split is made or parted.
Mail in the sidebar
With one space and Mail, Mail's row shows as soon as mail comes in.
Folder previews
A folder's preview row keeps its weight under the pointer.
Split View
Letting go of the divider, or putting two tabs together and apart, no longer leaves a half or the sidebar drawn as before.
