Yab 0.47

Build 0.47.0

User script managers, passkey autofill and extension side panels work on Chromium tabs as in Chrome, AppleScript reaches Yab with Chromium tabs open, and Yab comes back by itself after Update.

Added

  • Extensions

    Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey and other user script managers run their scripts on Chromium tabs: an extension that asks for it has Allow user scripts on its Settings page, as in Chrome, and scripts install from its own pages.

  • Extensions

    An extension's own items appear in its button's right-click menu on Chromium tabs, and its keyword works in the address field.

  • Passkeys

    On Chromium tabs a site's passkeys are listed under its sign-in box as you click into it, with Use Passkey from another device, as in Chrome.

  • Video

    A video's right-click menu on Chromium tabs has Save Video Frame As and Copy Video Frame.

  • Search

    Typing part of a site's name in ⌘T offers the site Google suggests, such as facebook.com for "faceb".

Fixed

  • Updates

    After you press Update, Yab comes back by itself instead of quitting and staying closed.

  • AppleScript

    AppleScript and apps that script Yab, such as site blockers, work with Chromium tabs open, and quit, open location and opening a file reach Yab.

  • Sound

    A muted tab stays muted through a reload, a link and in every window it is pinned in.

  • Site icons

    A tab's icon follows its page at once, such as an unread count or a timer, and pages of one site such as Docs and Slides each keep their own icon after a restart and while asleep.

And 12 smaller fixes

Extensions3

  • An extension's side panel follows the tab you are on, as in Chrome.
  • Extension notifications show on Chromium tabs.
  • Extensions from the Chrome Web Store on Chromium tabs update themselves, keeping their data and settings; one whose update wants more access asks you first, and an extension's own tabs, such as GoFullPage's result, stay open.

Passwords2

  • Filling a login from Apple Passwords asks for Touch ID once, not twice, and Apple Passwords' code box is ready to type in when it opens.
  • 1Password's browser helper ends with the page that used it instead of piling up in the background.

Passkeys1

  • Sites that use passkey extras such as large blobs or older security key sign-ins work on Chromium tabs.

Speed1

  • Work Chromium tabs leave until after startup, such as extension updates, starts once your first page shows instead of up to three minutes later.

Screens1

  • A page on a portrait monitor is told that monitor's size and orientation on Chromium tabs.

Mouse1

  • The pointer keeps a page's own cursor on Chromium tabs when a tab's speaker icon comes or goes.

Quit1

  • ⌘Q quits with a Chromium tab still loading.

Search1

  • Shift-Fn-Delete takes a history row out of ⌘T, as Shift-Delete does in Chrome.

Agents1

  • Connecting Gemini no longer opens Google in another browser or waits a minute, and the Connect screen sees agy installed in Terminal when you come back.
