This release adds file attachments to the AI sidebar and fixes several privacy, settings, and UI layering issues, including the one that was blocking email/password logins on sites like X.

New

  • Attach files to AI chats. Click the paperclip in the AI sidebar to add documents, PDFs, or images to your prompt. The AI reads their contents so you can ask questions about them directly.
    • Images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF) are sent as native image parts to models that support them: Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and Ollama all get the actual picture, not a description.
    • PDFs are sent as native documents where supported, with extracted text as a fallback so unsupported models can still read them.
    • Documents and code (DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, JSON, HTML, XML, YAML, and more) are extracted to text and included as context.
    • Attachments stay with the message, so they are available for follow-up questions and survive when you reopen a chat. Up to 5 files, 8 MB each, 10 MB total.

Fixed

  • Privacy settings now actually save. If you are signed in, Ventus syncs your settings across devices, but the cloud copy was overwriting local changes on every launch, so toggles like Block third-party cookies, Anti-fingerprint, Secure DNS, and Strict permissions kept switching back on. Ventus now tracks when settings changed locally and only accepts a cloud update that is newer than your local copy, so your changes win and still sync to your other devices.
  • Logins no longer blocked on X and similar sites. Anti-fingerprint protection was adding random noise on every canvas/WebGL read, so reading the same canvas twice gave different pixels. That is exactly the signature anti-bot systems flag as a tampered browser. The noise is now deterministic per session (consistent reads, still not your real fingerprint), and the fake "Ventus GPU" WebGL string was removed. Same privacy, no more false positives.
  • No more restart on every privacy toggle. Flipping a privacy setting used to force an immediate restart. It now saves instantly and asks once whether you want to restart now or later. Pick Later and it will not nag you again that session, with an Apply changes banner in Settings -> Privacy you can use whenever you are ready.
  • Popups no longer appear under web content. When one panel (like address-bar suggestions) was closing at the same moment you opened another (Downloads, Ad Blocker), a race could clear the wrong clip region and the new panel would render behind the page. Each popup now owns its own region and claims it synchronously, so panels always appear on top.

Removed

  • Removed the unused "Open visible pages" button from the History section of Settings.
