Phi for Windows moves to Chromium 156 (156.0.8078.52, up from 154.0.8037.54 in 0.2.0), with the Mac's omnibox, Space color palettes and a pile of fixes.

What's new since 0.2.0

  • Chromium 156: the browser engine moves from Chromium 154 to 156.0.8078.52, with its security and web-platform updates.
  • The Mac's omnibox: inline autocompletion, the top suggestion ready on Enter, Ctrl to switch to a tab that is already open, deletable suggestions and history favicons. With Omnibox as the new-tab behavior, new tabs, empty windows and empty Spaces open the floating omnibox.
  • Space color palettes: each Space gets the Mac's palette editor (Settings ▸ Spaces ▸ Color), and two- and three-color palettes paint the sidebar as a gradient.
  • Sidebar transparency: a 0–100% slider in Settings ▸ Appearance (default 50%). Appearance's Space color opens the palette editor when you have one Space, or links to Spaces settings when you have several.
  • Import from another browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc for Windows or a file, with profile and Arc Space pickers.
  • Sidebar profile button and Library (Spaces and Downloads), and the membership card.
  • Shortcuts settings: reset, unassign and rebind page commands and menu chords.
  • Peek: a Shift-click on a link no longer lets a single-page app navigate the page behind the Peek, and that page's videos pause while the Peek is open.

Fixes

  • Popups (window.open), app windows and undocked DevTools open as regular windows again.
  • Tabs in the floating sidebar can be dragged and clicked; the keyboard stays on the page after a file picker; Peek and Reader keep their headers when maximized.
  • A bare word typed in the address field is searched instead of opened as a site.
  • Switching to a new-tab tab no longer flashes the desktop through the page.
  • A reload with no window open no longer replaces your last session.
  • Crisper, untinted sidebar account picture; page corners follow the sidebar gradient.
  • Space wording and sync strings translated in Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
  • Logs are kept by default, so Report an issue includes them.

Upgrading

  • From 0.2.0: Phi updates itself on the stable channel, or run the installer above.
  • From 0.1.0: the early-access build follows a separate channel; run the installer above to move to the signed stable channel.
