Yab 0.22

October 13, 2026

Extensions that no longer slow tabs down, one ad blocker at a time, and password managers that connect.

Password managers
Settings › Passwords connects 1Password, Bitwarden or NordPass, and agents can sign in with it.
One ad blocker
Adding an ad blocker asks once whether it or Yab's built-in blocker blocks; ⌘E and Settings › Privacy show which one.
Side panels
An extension with a side panel opens it in the column, as in Chrome.
Lag in feedback
Send Feedback carries short stalls, how long tabs took to open and switch, and the extensions installed, so a slow moment can be found.
Console Copy
The console has a Copy button for the lines shown.

Tabs with password managers
With NordPass, Bitwarden and 1Password installed, a new tab shows in about 0.2 s instead of 0.67 s, and a sleeping tab wakes in 0.2 s instead of 0.7 s.
Ad blockers
An ad blocker no longer keeps the Mac busy while its lists update: idle CPU about 2% where it was 99%.
Extension messages
Messages between an extension's parts no longer wait 10 seconds, so OneTab restores a group in half a second.
Starting with extensions
With password managers installed, the first page shows in 1.3 s instead of 3 s.
Settings
Menus in Settings work like Raycast's, and the page's name stays in the toolbar as you scroll.
Tab rows
Tab rows, the floating column and its island are drawn as in Arc.
Small window
Back, forward and reload sit in the small window's field.
Chat
The chat is spaced like Messages.

NordPass sign-in
Signing in to NordPass by email or with Google comes back to NordPass instead of "The page couldn't load".
Extension popups
An extension's popup stays open while the pointer goes into it, and its shortcut opens it from its pinned button.
Bitwarden's menu
Picking a login in Bitwarden's menu fills the form in the tab in front.
AdBlock in new tabs
AdBlock blocks in new tabs right after its lists update.
