YouTube no longer shows its ad-blocker wall and then plays ads, Chromium tabs stop saying a page couldn't load while Yab is only busy, and they keep loading pages past 256 tabs.

Fixed

  • YouTube

    YouTube no longer shows its ad-blocker wall and then plays ads: Yab's ad blocking passes YouTube's own checks, so videos play without the wall and without ads.

  • Tabs

    A page on a Chromium tab that is slow to start because Yab is busy, such as when many tabs load at once, now loads as a slow page instead of saying "The page couldn't load".

  • Tabs

    With more than 256 Chromium tabs, sleeping ones included, new tabs and pages load instead of failing.

  • Tabs

    After a long day with many spaces, private windows, downloads, PDFs, extension pop-ups or site permission requests, Chromium tabs keep doing them instead of quietly stopping until Yab restarts.

  • Calls

    In a call on a Chromium tab, such as Google Meet, a camera and microphone you allow for the visit also let the site list your speakers and play through the one you pick.

  • Payments

    Google Pay opens on Chromium tabs: a checkout's Google Pay button opens its window instead of leaving the page dimmed.

  • Location

    A site asking for your location with Location Services off for the whole Mac says so and where to turn them on, instead of waiting for a macOS window that never comes.

  • Dictation

    Dictation and writing apps such as Raycast, Willow and Cotypist type into the field you are in on Chromium tabs.

  • Passwords

    The code card for pairing Apple Passwords takes the six digits as you type them, with keyboard navigation on too.

  • Picture in Picture

    A video plays on in Picture in Picture when you move to another desktop with Yab in front.

  • Memory

    Chromium tabs that sleep no longer keep a picture of their page.

  • Speed

    Chromium tabs no longer record the details of every error a page or an extension makes, as Chrome doesn't with Developer Tools closed, so script-heavy pages spend far less time on errors and a first scroll stalls less often.

  • Speed

    Browsing on Chromium tabs uses less energy: Yab takes one picture of the page where you stop scrolling instead of two.

  • Folders

    A new folder dragged between two closed folders goes between them instead of into one.

  • Passwords

    Offer to save passwords stays a switch you can turn on and off with Apple Passwords connected, and off means Yab no longer offers to save into Apple Passwords either.

  • Agents

    Agents can upload files on Chromium tabs again, such as a video to a Facebook Reels post, and a screenshot of an agent's tab out of sight shows its page.

  • Agents

    An agent can read and act on pages with many embedded frames, up to the 1000 a page can have, instead of failing past 256.

  • Shield

    A link to a site on an ad blocker list, such as a click-tracking link in a mail, opens instead of failing to load; what pages load from that site stays blocked.
