October 28, 2026

Boosts and userscripts in one list, Picture in Picture when you leave Yab, and a long round of fixes.

Improved

Fixed

A page's first load already carries your kept sign-in.
Keychain
Yab never brings up a system keychain dialog.
Background videos
A video opened in a background tab plays when you switch to it.
Scrolling
A plain mouse wheel scrolls the page as it should, and a back swipe goes back.
Shortcuts
Shortcuts follow your keyboard layout on ISO and Nordic keyboards, and an extension's own shortcut reaches it.

Each window's color follows its own space, and each Mac keeps its own space and color.
Split view
Pinning a split view keeps both pages as one pin.

Passwords
The saved passwords list stays open after Forget Password.
Apple Intelligence
Turning it off in Yab also hides its button on selected text.
Dark pages
Every ChatGPT address keeps its own theme.
