Built-in plug-ins, with clear edges

  • Translation and ad blocking are Kaze's built-in plug-ins, in Settings › Extensions › Built in.
    Each has one switch; off, nothing of it runs. Translation is on; the ad blocker is off until
    you turn it on.
  • The ad blocker no longer breaks x.com (its page scripts now run as uBlock Origin's do).

Translation, rebuilt

  • The translate button is in the address bar on every web page, whatever its language.
  • The page's language is read from its content (franc, 80+ languages), not its menus.
  • Iframes, web components and button labels translate; long pages stay smooth; text the page
    changes is translated again. When Google is busy, Microsoft's translator takes over.

Models

  • Each provider's own model list is fetched (OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama,
    OpenRouter…): choose which models the pickers show in Settings › Agent, or add an ID by hand.

Import

  • Extensions come over from Chrome, Arc, Edge (from Edge's own store too) and others, each with
    what became of it: an old Manifest V2 one offers its replacement, one Kaze can't reach can be
    retried.
  • Partitioned cookies (Cloudflare checks, embedded sign-ins) come over, so sites stay signed in.

The agent

  • Stop always stops, and New chat always opens: every tool has a time limit, and screenshots of
    background tabs no longer hang.
  • Before the agent clicks or types, the target flashes. On a tab it works in, its mark is Kaze's
    pinwheel.

Browsing

  • Peek: ⇧-click a link to open it in a card over the page; ⌘O keeps it as a tab.
  • Swipe with two fingers anywhere over the sidebar to change Space; the whole window follows.
  • Hide the sidebar (⌃⌘S): it comes out as a card from the window's edge.
  • ⌘S and ⌘Z go to the page first (web editors save and undo); ⌘Z also reopens a closed tab, and
    File › Reopen Closed Window brings back a window.
  • In the address bar, Tab searches a site, and @ narrows to tabs, history, bookmarks or Kaze.
  • Back on a tab opened from a link returns to the tab it came from; hold Back or Forward for the
    list.
  • A custom window colour (any hue) or Follow Mac.
  • Tab titles use the whole row; Activity notes open again.
