Yab 0.46.21
Pages run about a third faster, close to Chrome's speed on Chromium tabs, pages recover from network hiccups the way Chrome does, extensions work better on Chromium tabs, and fewer crashes.
Fixed
Speed
Pages run about a third faster in both engines, close to Chrome's speed on Chromium tabs: Yab's card and address helper now loads only into frames that have a card, address or file box.
Pages
A page that failed during a short network outage reloads by itself once the network is back, as in Chrome, and Chromium errors say what went wrong.
Extensions
Chromium tabs run on a newer engine build with fixes for extension sign-in windows, proxy sign-in and downloads started by extensions.
Chrome Web Store
The Add to Yab button no longer disappears a few seconds after a store page opens.
Writing
Improve Writing's Replace works in Gmail, LinkedIn and other rich editors.
Notion
Each Notion tab shows its page's own icon, and it follows within a second as you go from page to page.
Chromium
Reloading a tab whose page crashed shows the page again instead of an empty window.
Chromium
Inspect Element opens DevTools on every Chromium tab, including pages opened from other apps.
Media
A notification sound, like Gmail's, no longer shows up as music playing.
Paste
Pasting from Raycast or with Cmd+V right after switching apps works on Chromium tabs.
Video
A full screen video stays on the display it was on, and Space pauses videos with a Chinese input method.
Tabs
Pinned tabs stay after syncing between Macs.
Cmd+T
Typing a site's name puts the site first, not a folder or an open tab with a similar title.
Windows
Opening and closing windows responds sooner.
Passwords
An email box with no sign-in offers your addresses, and the Apple Passwords code field takes the code without a click.
Updates
Choosing the Stable channel in Settings replaces the Nightly with Stable.
Energy
Yab uses less of the processor while Claude works in the background.
Dock
Yab no longer shows a second icon in the Dock for a moment at launch.
Stability
Fixes for a crash at launch, crashes when typing in an extension's popup, when a site sets cookies, and in WebKit tabs.
