Search 1.0.7

Settings, history and passwords as pages of their own, profiles, page translation, Apple Passwords, and YouTube without ads. Settings is now a page in a tab, sorted into sections you can search with ⌘F, with fewer switches: what's simply better is on for everyone. Profiles keep separate spaces, sign-ins, history and bookmarks, one per window. Pages translate on your Mac, nothing sent anywhere. Your passwords from Apple's Passwords app can show under the sign-in field, and Shield now blocks YouTube's ads. The front tab shows the site you're on, and plain http or a look-alike name always shows. Also: a site in the side panel, a column of icons only, ask before quitting, tab numbers while ⌘ is held, Copy Clean Link, Fold All Groups, ⌃Tab on a key of your own, drag tabs onto the pins and back, and a call that keeps its camera when you switch tabs. Fixed among many others: saved accounts offered only in real sign-in fields and placed under them again, extension rules that blanked pages, and the Norma and Vimium C extensions.

Added

• Shield blocks YouTube's ads: on youtube.com, YouTube Music and YouTube videos embedded in other sites, the ads YouTube schedules in its player's own data are taken out before the video starts, and the player's ad reports aren't sent. It is part of Settings › Privacy › Block ads and trackers, on with it, and Block on youtube.com turns it off for YouTube alone. An ad that plays all the same goes by muted and fast, and the video's sound and speed come back after it. YouTube changes its pages often, so an ad may get through until the next update
• Tabs as icons only: a narrow column of each tab's icon, pins as they are, the title in a tooltip and nothing that grows or slides out under the pointer. A pair in Split View is one tile with both icons, a tab group a short heading with its first letter and a thin bracket beside its tabs; a playing or muted tab has a small speaker in its corner, one an extension records from a red dot, and the address the tab you're on would say is in its tooltip. Dragging, closing with the middle button or the menu, the new tab button and the space's button work as in the column; a click on the tab you're on opens the address field over the page. The window's buttons and back, forward and reload stand one above the other at the top. Off unless you pick Icons only in Settings › Appearance › Tabs
• Apple Passwords can be offered under a sign-in box: on a site where Search keeps no account, the first time you're in its sign-in box, one quiet row at the bottom says "Use your Apple passwords?". A click turns Apple Passwords on and asks for your Mac's code right there; its ✕ means don't offer again. At most once per site, and never again once it has been passed by twice; never in a private tab, on plain http or in a frame from another site, and only on a Mac that has Apple's helper. Apple Passwords itself stays off until you say so
• Fold All Groups and Unfold All Groups, as in Arc: every tab group of the space at once, from the space's menu or View, or ⌥⌘[ and ⌥⌘] (beside ⌘[ and ⌘], Back and Forward). Each group keeps its tabs and its place, and a folded one still shows the tab you're on if it is one of its own.
• Press Escape twice to leave full screen, as in Arc, off unless you turn it on in Settings › Browsing › Video › Press Esc twice to leave full screen. In a video's full screen or the window's own (the green button, ⌃⌘F), the first press shows "Press Esc again to exit full screen" and a second within two seconds leaves; the find bar, the address field, a peek or a panel still take a single Escape first. Holding Escape down counts as one press. Off, one Escape leaves, as before. Thanks @FabianoC13 (#678)
• Reading mode can follow light and dark: in a dark window the article is light on dark, and a small switch in its corner, faint until the pointer reaches it, makes an article light, dark or as the window is, kept for the next one. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Browsing › Reading mode. Thanks @dima237 (#566)
• Reading mode can read a site's own Markdown when it publishes one, instead of working the article out from the page: the page's Markdown twin, named in its head or at its own address with .md on the end, as Anthropic's, Mintlify's, Vercel's, Cloudflare's and Bun's docs have. It's drawn in the same reading page, marked "· markdown" beside the site's name, and a Markdown file opened in a tab reads the same way. Only the page's own site is asked, only an answer that says it is Markdown counts, and nothing in it can run: its text is escaped and only plain tags and web links are kept. A page without one is read as before, a moment later. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Browsing › Reading mode › Read the site's own Markdown. Thanks @oddharsh (#687)
• Sized website pop-ups can open in small windows of their own instead of tabs: a call, a sign-in, a chat asking for a window its size gets one, as in Safari. They keep their opener, sign-ins and space, close when their page does, and never come back with the session. The line over the page names the site that is on screen, never an address still on its way. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Tabs › New tabs › Open sized pop-ups in small windows; pop-up blocking still applies. Thanks @BryanZaneee (#660, #552)
• A site asks before it shares your screen, as in Safari: a card names the site and offers Share a Window, Share a Screen or Don't Allow, and says so when the page also wants your Mac's sound. Only then does macOS's own picker open, so nothing is shared until you pick; nothing is remembered, and a tab behind waits until you're on it. Thanks @BryanZaneee and @sxivansx (#651, #530, #528)
• Hold Back or Forward, or right-click either, for every page that way, as in Safari and Chrome: the nearest at the top, each with its site's icon. Pick one and you go straight there, however many steps away; a click still goes one step. Thanks @oddharsh (#567)
• Animations can go easy on a Mac that's saving power: in Low Power Mode, or while the Mac is running hot, the sidebar, tabs and panels move in a short 0.16 s ease-out instead of a spring that takes about half a second to settle. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Appearance › Motion. Pages are left as they are: WebKit already draws them at 30 frames a second in Low Power Mode, as in Safari. Thanks @oddharsh (#688)
• Tabs can give a little under the pointer while you press them, in the column and across the top, and spring back when you let go, as Arc's do. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Appearance › Tabs › Tabs give when pressed; nothing moves with Reduce Motion on. Thanks @oddharsh (#686)
• Profiles, as in Chrome and Arc: separate sets of spaces, each with its own sign-ins and site data, its own history and its own bookmarks, in windows of their own. A window of one profile shows nothing of another's: not its spaces, not its tabs in ⌃Tab, not its history in the address field. Make one in Settings › Spaces & Pins › Profiles; once there are two, a letter beside the space's icon says which profile the window is in and switches to the other one's window, as does File › Profile. Everything you have now is the profile Personal, where it was, and a space with sign-ins of its own keeps them. Importing from Arc brings each Arc profile in as a profile of its own, with its spaces. Extensions, passwords, downloads and settings stay shared by every profile. Thanks @0xbentang for asking and @BryanZaneee for offering to build it (#459)
• Translate Page, on this Mac: right-click a page › Translate Page to your Mac's language, done by macOS's own translation on this Mac, so nothing is sent anywhere (each language is downloaded once, the first time, in Apple's own sheet). What's on screen is translated first, then the rest, then whatever the page adds; links, bold and code stay where they were in the sentence, frames are translated too, and a quote in another language is translated from its own language or left alone if it's already in yours. Code, fields, editable text and what a page marks as not to translate stay as they are. A small sign beside the tab's title says the page is translated; a click on it offers Show Original, which puts back exactly what was there, and Always Translate . Settings › Browsing › Pages lists the languages always translated. Needs macOS 15 or later. A private tab can translate, and remembers nothing
• Passwords from Apple's Passwords app under the sign-in box, as in Safari, without the iCloud Passwords extension. Off unless you turn it on in Settings › Passwords › Passwords from Apple's Passwords app, and the first time you want one of its accounts, Connect Apple Passwords… under the sign-in box asks for the six-digit code your Mac shows, right there, once per launch of Search (Apple's helper keeps no pairing between launches; nothing is asked at launch). Only the names are asked for while you are in a sign-in box; a password is asked for when you pick its account, macOS may ask for Touch ID, and it goes into that page alone. Only accounts for the site you are on, only on https pages, never in a private tab or a frame from another site, and nothing is kept by Search. Unofficial: Search talks to the helper Apple made for its Chrome extension, as that extension, so a macOS update could stop it working; the extension stays the way in then. Asked for on #425
• The tab you're on can show where its page is, without a click: its site in place of its title, the subdomain dim before it, the title back under the pointer. Look-alike names in other alphabets show as the punycode they are (xn--80ak6aa92e.com, not a Cyrillic "apple.com"), plain http says Not secure, and a file on this Mac is named by its file name. In the column, across the top and on the half you're on in Split View. Every page says it, unless you turn off Settings › Tabs › Show the address on the tab you're on; with it off, only a page over plain http and a look-alike name are said, as warnings
• Two tabs picked in the column (⌘- or ⇧-click) go side by side with Open 2 Tabs in Split View in either one's menu, or ⌥⌘N: the first in the column on the left, each keeping its page as it is, with nothing loaded again. A tab in another pair leaves it first, as when it is dragged; a pin stays a pin and its page goes in, as with one tab. With more than two picked the item is there but off, and ⌥⌘N splits the page in front as it does without a selection. The selection is cleared after
• ⌃Tab's recent-tabs switcher can be on a key of your own, as in Arc: Settings › Keyboard & Mouse › Shortcuts › Tabs › Switch to Recent Tab. Hold the key's ⌃, ⌥ or ⌘ to keep the switcher up and let go to take the tab; with ⇧ it goes back. ⌃Tab can then be given to another command, such as Next Tab, or left to the page.
• Move Group to Space, in a tab group's menu: every tab of the group goes to the other space, in its order, and is the same group there, folded or open as it was. A space with its own sign-ins asks first only when a page in the group has something typed and not sent, once for the group.
• Websites in the side panel: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or the page you're on, beside the page without an extension, from View › Side Panel or a tab's Open in Side Panel. It's a page of the space you're in, signed in where that space's tabs are and never a private tab's; its address is on the panel's own line, a link it opens in a new window goes to a tab, and Open in a Tab takes it into one. Always there, with no switch
• The floating video can be macOS's own picture in picture instead of Search's window: Settings › Browsing › Video › The floating video. ⇧⌘P, and leaving the tab or the app when those float a video, then hand it to the system's window, the one Safari uses, and coming back to the tab brings it home. Search's window stays the default; it floats a video without a click and keeps its page alive in it
• A pin's ⌘ number pressed again while you're on that pin takes you back to the tab you were on before it, and once more back to the pin. Always there, with no switch
• Copy Clean Link copies an address without the parameters that only track where a click came from (utm_ tags, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, mc_eid, igshid and a few more, and a YouTube or Spotify share's si). Everything else stays as it was, in its order, and an address with a signature is copied unchanged. It's under Copy Link when you right-click a link, on the page's own menu when its address has any, in a tab's menu and in the Edit menu, ⌥⇧⌘C. A menu item, so there is no switch. Asked for on #594
• A right-click on the bookmarks bar opens a menu, as in Safari and Chrome. On a bookmark: open it in a new tab, a new window, Split View or a private tab, rename it, change its address, copy its link, move it into a folder or remove it. On a folder: open the bookmarks in it in new tabs, in a new window or in a tab group named after the folder, rename it, make a folder inside it, move it or remove it. On the bar's empty space: New Folder…, Show Bookmarks… and Hide Bookmarks Bar. Open in Split View and Open All in Tab Group are there when Split View and tab groups are on. Thanks @bacecek (#438, #439)
• Settings › Tabs › Show tab numbers while ⌘ is held: while ⌘ is held, each tab ⌘1–9 picks shows its number, in the column and across the top; a folded group counts once. Off unless turned on. Thanks @BryanZaneee (#654, #658)
• Settings › General › Confirm before quitting asks before ⌘Q or Quit Search closes the browser. Cancel keeps the windows and tabs open. Off unless turned on. Thanks @BryanZaneee (#659)
• Pins and tabs dragged across, as in Arc: a tab carried onto the pins becomes one where you let it go, the squares making room for it on the way, and a pin carried down among the tabs becomes a tab there, a line opening where it will land. Either keeps its page as it is, with nothing loaded again. With pinned rows on, a tab can be let go among them, and a square or a row taken to the other kind. A pin let go over a group's name goes into the group. With no pins yet, carry a tab up beside the window's buttons to make the first. A pair in Split View isn't pinned by a drag (Pin Tab still pins the half you ask for). A pin dropped in makes a pin of this space, after the ones every space shows; one of those dragged out leaves every space, as Unpin does
• Two more switches in Settings › Privacy, both on unless you turn them off. Remove click trackers from links takes the IDs an ad network adds to a link so the site can tell whose click it was (gclid, fbclid and the like) off the address before the page loads, as Safari does; campaign tags (utm_) stay. Tell sites not to sell or share your data sends Global Privacy Control with every request, which some laws make a site honour. Both need macOS 27, and their switches aren't shown before. Private tabs always do both, as in Safari's Private Browsing. A switch you move reaches open tabs from their next page. Thanks @oddharsh (#701)

Changed

• The edges you pull to resize — the column's, the side panel's and the one between two pages in Split View — no longer draw a line the window's whole height. A small rounded handle sits in the middle of the edge instead: hidden until the pointer is on the column's or the panel's edge, faint between two pages, a little longer and darker under the pointer and while held. The whole edge still takes the pointer, and a double-click still puts it back. A Split View pair in the column now reads as one thing, with a faint ground of its own and a fine line between its two tabs, and the pointer on one tab of the pair while the other is open no longer leaves a notch between the two greys
• Settings, reorganised so you can see what you turn on: ten short sections (General, Appearance, Tabs, Browsing, Spaces & Pins, Passwords, Privacy, Extensions, Keyboard & Mouse, About) instead of two pages of 24 and 28 identical lines. Each section is in titled groups with an icon and a line saying what the group is for; each row has its own small icon, a title in plain words and one short line, with the rest behind its (i). A row that only counts while another is on sits indented under it and is only there while it counts (the column's options with the tabs down a side, Back and forward on the left with the tabs across the top). Tabs Top / Left / Right, Light / Dark / Auto and the page as a card are small pictures to pick from, as in macOS's own Appearance pane, and Sleep tabs says under its choice what happens. Find a setting, at the top of the sections (⌘F on the Settings tab, Escape empties it), finds any setting by its words or by others you might type ("vertical tabs", "pip", "autoplay", "dark"), shows each with its section and group and its real control, and goes to it with a click. search://settings/shortcuts and /downloads still open, at Keyboard & Mouse and General
• Set Up Like Arc, in Settings › Spaces & Pins: tabs on the left, Spaces, pinned rows, pins that keep their site and the floating new tab in one click, with Undo, beside Bring Arc's spaces and pins over
• Fewer switches: Split View, tab groups, websites in the side panel, Translate Page, Keep selected sites awake, searching a site from the address field (red, Tab), pins in every space, a pin's number pressed again going back, and the ⌃Tab switcher's keys are always there, since each only adds a command that does nothing until used; an old "off" no longer hides them. Show where links go and flicking the floating video are always on too, but an explicit off made before stays off. Correct spelling as you type moved to Edit › Spelling and Grammar, as in Safari
• Two switches become one choice, reading and writing the same settings as before: Tabs Top / Left / Right, Sleep tabs Never / Later / Normal / Sooner, Float the video on its own Never / Switching tabs / Tabs or apps, Pins keep their site (Pins go back home with Pins stay on their site), and Peek at a link Off / Shift-click / Option-Shift-click / Option-Command-click in Keyboard & Mouse
• On for everyone who never changed them, a choice made before standing: Pins keep their site, Pages at 120 Hz On power (an old 120 Hz off stays Never), Hold a swipe to pick from history, and Show the address on the tab you're on
• About no longer repeats a dozen shortcuts (Keyboard & Mouse lists them all, as you set them), Passwords no longer repeats Bring Things Over, and Let a script drive Search is under About › Developer
• Settings, History, Downloads, Bookmarks, Passwords, Bring Things Over and What's New open as pages in a tab of their own, as in Chrome, instead of a card over the page. ⌘, ⌘Y ⇧⌘J and the menus bring the open one forward rather than opening a second; an empty tab in front becomes the page. Each has its own address (search://settings, search://history…), goes with ⌃Tab, sits beside a page in Split View, closes with ⌘W and comes back after a relaunch. Back and Forward go between them, and from a page you opened out of History or Bookmarks back to the list. From a private tab they open beside it, as ordinary tabs
• With the tabs in the sidebar, back, forward and reload sit a little further from the window's red, yellow and green buttons, as a toolbar's first button does in Safari; a narrow column keeps them where they were

Fixed

• Saved accounts are offered only in real sign-in fields, as in Safari and Chrome: a password box, a name box beside one, or the name step of a sign-in that asks for it first (Google, Microsoft, Okta, impots.gouv.fr) when the field says it takes a name, email or phone and the page looks like a sign-in. A project's name in the Google Cloud console, a repository's name, a message box, an email's To field, a search box, a newsletter or a checkout's email no longer show the list, and accounts from the site's other addresses (accounts.google.com on console.cloud.google.com) come only in a real sign-in field (#631)
• Closing the last tab that isn't in a group or pinned leaves an empty tab, as Arc does, instead of taking you to a page out of one of your tab groups and opening that group. ⌘T then gave the floating field over that page rather than a new tab. An empty tab closed there stays, and so does the window
• Escape in a new tab clears what you typed first, the tab staying, and a second Escape closes the tab you didn't use, as in Arc. With a word typed, Escape did nothing
• With Split View turned on, the saved accounts under a sign-in box hang right under it again, and a click on one fills the form. The list was drawn down and to the right of the box, often in the window's bottom-right corner, where a click on it did nothing
• Search gives memory back once an ad blocker's rules are built. WebKit compiles an extension's blocking rules inside the app, all of them each time any change: AdBlock's at every launch and every filter update, a gigabyte for a minute. What it freed stayed counted against Search, 1.1 GB around 44 MB actually in use; now it goes back to the Mac when the rules are done and when Search goes to the background. Thanks @FabianoC13 (#604)
• One Escape leaves a video's full screen, as in Safari, instead of two. A page filling the screen is in WebKit's own window, whose keys went to the browser behind it first, and Escape there put away whatever was left up behind the video, the find bar, the address field or a peek, before the page had it. Escape is now the page's while it fills the screen, in a Split View pair too. A tab drag whose end never came no longer keeps the next Escape for itself either. Thanks @FabianoC13 (#678)
• Reading mode shows an article's headline once when the article repeats the title, keeps a drawing in the text at the size the page drew it rather than the width of the column, and a link followed out of an article is read with ⇧⌘R rather than reloaded. Thanks @dima237 (#566)
• Reading mode keeps Bloomberg's photos, byline, takeaways and opening video. The photos sit in click-to-enlarge buttons, which went as clutter with what they held, and the rest sits between the headline and the text. A video its player feeds from the page now plays from the plain stream it names, fetching nothing until you press play, or shows its poster; newsletter boxes and a video player's controls stay out. Thanks @dima237 (#565)
• Reading mode keeps an article's charts and its opening photo. On the FT each chart was an empty band, as every frame but a video's was taken out; frames from the chart makers (Flourish, Datawrapper, Infogram, Tableau, the FT's own, Google Maps) now stay at the height the page gave them, the photo the FT keeps just above its article comes too, and a box left empty goes. Thanks @dima237 (#564)
• Reading mode leaves the page's own styles behind: its stylesheets, its fonts and the styles written on the article's elements. They reached the reading page, so a site's reset could take the numbers off its lists, or its font stand in for the reader's. What the site's styles hid stays hidden: a label for screen readers or a phone-only copy of a table doesn't appear. Search's own styles for the page stay, Dusk and Find on Page among them. Thanks @oddharsh (#689)
• Extensions with overlapping site permissions use less memory: a wildcard grant covers the hosts it names without a grant of their own, and WebKit keeps a copy of an extension's content scripts for every grant. The sites an extension can reach are the same. This lessens, without ending, the memory Lexirise and the like take. Thanks @BryanZaneee (#669, #663)
• The Figma extension's "Allow additional permissions" page works: Next asks, as in Chrome, to read and change every website, and once you agree Figma goes on. A permission its manifest names but WebKit doesn't have (pageCapture) refused the whole request without a question; a click in the extension's own page wasn't counted as the click a request needs; and access to every website was taken back the moment it was given. It is now kept as every website, still never other extensions' pages or files on this Mac, and an extension that gives it back gives all of it back. Thanks @TanguyCaruel (#675)
• Apps on the same host each wear their own icon. A home server with Sonarr at host/sonarr and Radarr at host/radarr showed whichever icon was fetched first on every tab, pin, bookmark and history line for that host, for a week: icons were kept by host. They are now kept page by page, by the page's path alone, as Safari, Firefox and Chrome keep them, and go with the page when it goes from History. A page that declares no icon wears one from its own app, or its letter rather than another app's. Private tabs' icons stay apart and go with the last private tab. An icon that couldn't be reached is asked for again after a minute, where before it wasn't until Search was quit. Icons kept before carry over. Thanks @AllDaGearNoIdea (#641)
• An extension's side panel waits while a private tab is in front, unless you have allowed that extension private tabs in Settings › Extensions, and the page takes the room it had meanwhile. An extension not allowed is given nothing of a private tab, so its panel beside one was a panel about a page it could not see. It is held back, not closed: it comes back as you left it on a tab the extension may see. A panel asked for by an extension over a private tab it may not see opens nothing at all. Thanks @Chahine-tech (#677, #662)
• An extension's scripts keep their Unicode when it puts them into a page written in an older encoding. Backpack's wallet could fail with an invalid regular expression on windows-1252 pages, its UTF-8 script read in the page's encoding. Installed extensions are prepared again once, at the first launch. Thanks @K-NRS (#521)
• The ⌃Tab switcher's cards and thumbnails have the same smooth corners as the rest of Search, instead of plain round ones. Thanks @oddharsh (#686)
• With the tabs down the side and fewer of them than the column holds, the pointer crossing a row no longer builds every row again, twice over: about 40 rows a crossing became 2, and the main thread's time for one went from about 26 ms to 4. Thanks @oddharsh (#694)
• A tab dragged onto a tab group goes in where you let it go, among the group's tabs, in the column and across the top, and a tab dragged within its group moves to its new place. It could miss the group, and when it went in it always went to the end. Let go on the group's name, it goes at the end and the group opens. Thanks @mvanhorn for the fix and @dalxds for reporting (#693, #673)
• New small windows open a step down and to the right of the newest one on screen instead of exactly on top of it. Five links from Mail were five windows that looked like one, the others hidden under it. Thanks @oddharsh (#493)
• A video call goes on when you go to another tab. On a Google Meet call, the others saw your camera frozen until you came back to its tab, since a tab behind was taken out of the window and its page slowed as one nobody can see; a tab using the camera, the microphone or the screen now stays in the window, unseen, for as long as the call lasts, as Safari and Chrome keep it going. Any other tab behind is slowed and put to sleep as before
• An extension that sends a site to a page of its own, as Norma does with its block page, shows that page again. WebKit carried out such a rule only for extensions that ask for more than Chrome requires, so the site loaded instead, or, with Norma's Mac app blocking it, "No connection." came up; and the page then needed a view of its own and its # back. Its rules go no further than the sites it was given, and a page it doesn't open to websites is still never shown
• With uBlock Origin Lite installed, pages no longer go blank about half a minute after launch, a slip in the change above that never reached a release. Some of its rules name a pattern beside a list of sites, and WebKit drops the list and takes the rule for every site, so every page was sent to uBlock's warning page. A rule that redirects or changes headers in that shape is now left out, for any extension, since it would act far beyond the sites it names; its strict blocking then acts only through its rules that name a site themselves. When one of those sends a site to its warning page, the page shows, as in Chrome, where the tab stayed blank. Thanks @oddharsh for finding and tracing it (#709)
• Dragging a tab or a pin in the column moves it under the hand again. In 1.0.6, since a tab opens as the button goes down (#625), it only jumped into place on letting go, and a pin held still a moment before letting go wasn't moved at all
• One letter in the address field finishes the site you go to most that starts with it, as in Safari and Chrome: "x" and Return go to x.com. Only the top row, and only a site you have been to; a page inside a site, or a letter inside a name, still waits for a second letter. Thanks @murahovsky for reporting (#696)
• A peek opens at your default page zoom from Settings › General, or at the zoom you set for that site, as a tab does; it always opened at 100%. So does the small window a link from another app opens in. Thanks @ralvs for reporting (#691)
• A site whose only icon is an SVG wears it instead of its letter, and so does one whose icon is written into the page itself (an emoji, often). The SVG is drawn by WebKit in a sandboxed process of its own, the way a page shows one, and only the small picture it makes comes back: no new image decoder in Search. Thanks @maxvoltar for reporting (#680)
• 1Password's button in a field, while 1Password is locked, opens its popup to unlock again. 1Password asks for its popup only from a browser that says it is Chrome 149 or later, and Search told extensions it was Chrome 140; it now says 156, Chrome's version today, to extensions and to the Chrome Web Store. Thanks @dalxds for reporting (#685)
• Signing in with your Apple Account by passkey, on Apple's own pages and with Sign in with Apple, gets the Mac's passkey sheet, an iPhone's QR code included. Apple's sign-in is a frame from another of Apple's addresses in the page, and Search refused a passkey to any frame not on the page's exact address, so Apple said the browser needed updating. A frame of the page's own site may now ask, as in Safari, and the site is told it came from a frame; a frame from another site still can't. Thanks @tecandrew for reporting (#679)
• An extension that moves a tab into a window of its own, with chrome.windows.create({tabId}), gets the tab there, page and all, instead of an empty new window and the tab left where it was. A popup-type window asked to take one of your tabs opens as a browser window, since a popup is never saved and goes when its extension is turned off, and your tab would go with it. A pin, already in every window, isn't moved. Thanks @oddharsh (#702)
• The Passwords page lists your passwords when opened from Settings › Passwords › Open…, or from its address typed on a tab. Reached that way it was never read and said "Nothing kept yet", while the sign-in box on a page offered the same accounts. It is now read each time it is shown.
• A pinned tab going between an extension's page and a website stays the same pin. It became a new one, so every other window closed its tab for the pin and made a sleeping one, losing the page it was on there; the page it was pinned at, where a double-click on it goes back to, became wherever it had just gone; and a pin every space shows was kept as this space's own. Thanks @oddharsh (#707)
• Local file tabs come back after quitting Search, in their tab groups too. They were left out of the saved session; private tabs are still never saved. Thanks @mocki-toki for the fix and @ralvs for the report (#713, #699)
• With Settings › Spaces & Pins › Opening and starting › New tab in a floating field on, ⌘T opens a tab, and Search asks there, when an extension you haven't answered has asked to replace the new tab page. The field came up over the page instead, so the extension was never asked and its page never appeared. Thanks @oddharsh (#714)
