    Right-click menus now keep things where Dia does.

    New

    • Every right-click menu is rebuilt in Dia's order: on a tab, Pin comes first, then opening, organising, bookmarks, copying and customising, with Close last. Menus show their icons again on macOS 27, each action has one name everywhere, and a shortcut shows only when it really does that item.
    • Move several tabs, or a whole group, to another profile or window from their right-click menu.
    • Right-click the reload button to turn the ad blocker off for a site or clear its cookies, and right-click a profile to rename it, change its icon or colour, or open its settings.
    • The New Tab row, the sidebar's top and its footer open the sidebar menu on right-click, as in Dia.

    Fixed

    • The sidebar's address field is liquid glass again.
    • Pressing a tab row no longer bounces. The row stays put, as Dia's do.
    • The page menu matches Dia's on links and blank pages: Save Link As… comes before Copy Link Address, Open Link as another profile is gone, and Forward shows greyed out when there's nowhere to go.
    • A cancelled Save As no longer leaves an empty download in the downloads panel.

    CompatibilitymacOS 14 or later · Native on Apple silicon

    Fixes a blank-page flash when closing a tab with Command-W.

    Closing a tab with Command-W no longer flashes a blank page. The closing tab stays visible until the next tab has drawn.

    Patch

    OpenNavo editorial

    Fixes dragging and pinned-group crashes, reduces tab memory use and improves sync security and onboarding.

    • Fixes page freezes when dragging content and a crash when removing a row from a pinned group.
    • Reduces background-tab memory use, profile-switching stutter and sync disk writes.
    • Requires Touch ID or a password before showing, copying or saving the sync recovery phrase.
    • Hardens permission prompts, address-bar handling and picture-in-picture isolation.
    • Adds browser-based onboarding presets, Dia tab import and confirmation for insecure downloads.
