Yab 0.47.2

Build 202611090904

Password managers no longer leave helpers running in the background, a site's alias and Space searches that site as in Chrome, and hint apps such as Neru see Chromium pages.

Added

  • Search

    Typing a site's alias and Space searches that site, as in Chrome; Settings, Field, Sites, Keyboard shortcut switches back to Tab only.

  • Shortcuts

    Share Page can have its own keyboard shortcut, such as ⌃S as in Arc.

  • Energy

    Energy Saver in Settings, as in Chrome. It is off unless you turn it on, so pages and scrolling keep your display's full refresh rate.

Fixed

  • Passwords

    iCloud Passwords and other password managers no longer leave their helper apps running in the background on WebKit tabs, where hundreds could pile up and freeze the Mac.

  • Pages

    A page left open for long no longer runs out of memory and reloads by itself.

  • Accessibility

    Hint and accessibility apps such as Neru, Homerow and Vimac see a Chromium tab's page after it goes to another site, and in new tabs, as in Chrome.

  • Tabs

    The tab bar's color matches the page from edge to edge, also after leaving full screen.

  • Disk

    Yab no longer leaves copies of itself in a temporary folder after it closes unexpectedly, where they could take gigabytes.

  • Crashes

    When Yab closes unexpectedly without a crash report, it sends what it knows at its next start, if you allow crash reports, so it can be fixed.
