Fixed
Agent tabs
Agents open pages in tabs of their own instead of taking over existing tabs.

Selecting or hovering a result keeps Compact small; Clipboard History is labeled at the right edge.
Quick answers
Calculations, conversions, dates and time have distinct icons. HEX colors show a color sample and RGB values.

The Site Controls slider icon matches the size and line weight of its neighbors.

Compact field reopening
Reopening the compact field reuses its hidden suggestion rows.

Saved certificate exceptions expire after a week on public sites or a month on local devices.

If a page process cannot be stopped at its memory limit, Yab keeps watching the same process and can retry.
Pinned tab work

Extension requests
Disabling, reloading or removing an extension cancels its unfinished requests and frees unread response data.
Extension rule cleanup
