Tabs that drag smoothly, ad blockers as fast as in Chrome, password managers that connect in one step, and Claude's Chrome extension in the side panel.
Added
Claude in the side panel
Claude's Chrome extension signs in and can read and click on the page.
More of Chrome's extension API
Omnibox keywords, tab groups, site settings, the reading list, downloads, tab and screen capture, proxies and Save as MHTML work as in Chrome.
Userscripts
A .user.js link offers to install in Tampermonkey, as in Chrome.
Password managers
A manager already on this Mac shows in Settings › Passwords with Connect; connecting opens in one frame instead of 1.8 s.
DevTools find
⌘F searches the Elements tree, and in Network and Sources every loaded resource, with the matches lit.
Improved
New tabs
A new tab shows in about 0.1 s instead of 0.16 s: each window keeps one ready.
Ad blockers
With an ad blocker, a new tab opens as fast as in Chrome with the same blocker: about 85 ms instead of 110.
Sidebar and spaces
Showing the sidebar and switching spaces do about half the work they did, with fewer dropped frames.
Pickers
A list with a search field takes your typing as soon as it opens.
DevTools per tab
DevTools belong to the tab they were opened on, and come back when it does.
Hover
Pinned tabs and the address bar light up under the pointer as in Arc, and the squares behind a tab's buttons follow its corner.
Plans
A chat keeps the plan it started on. A new chat starts on ChatGPT only when Claude is out of room and ChatGPT is connected, and says so.
Fixed
Dragging tabs
A dragged tab stays under the pointer, glides into place when let go, and a new folder shows the plain folder mark with no count.
Swiping spaces
The column coming in is drawn under the pointer from the first frame; nothing pops in at the end.
Extension buttons
An extension asking you to sign in sits with the others and shows on hover; its badge no longer covers the pin, and pinned extensions can be reordered.
Downloads
A download that opens a blank tab closes it when the file is in, as in Chrome; files dragged from Downloads keep their names.
Sidebar in Split View
Showing and hiding the sidebar in a Split View works every time, also after switching between tabs on top and the sidebar.
Display on the left
The hidden sidebar no longer comes out when the pointer moves to a display beside the window.
Split View tools
Both halves of a Split View show the screenshot and downloads buttons, on hover for the half behind.
Claude sign-in
A Claude Code signed in through the keychain is no longer taken for signed out.
