2026.1.1

Fix memory leaks, usability gripes with checkboxes and filter buttons

Feb 17, 2026

New features

  • Collapse or expand all tab groups at once from the Action Bar.
  • New search settings to control whether matching tab groups and windows auto-expand while searching (Never / Auto-expand / Temporarily auto-expand).

Improvements

  • Re-implemented tab list virtualization for better performance across density modes.
  • Performance optimizations including favicon caching and reduced re-renders in the tab list.
  • Persist tab list sorting order per window and prevent sort order resets during session updates.
  • Moved Duplicate and Audible tab filter buttons back to the top bar (next to the search button).
  • Duplicate tab indication now uses a favicon badge instead of changing the tab background.
  • Optimistically refresh tab group collapse/expand state to avoid stale UI on some Chromium forks (e.g. Brave).
  • Selection mode checkboxes for window and tab group headers now keep a consistent position.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed tab group colors not updating correctly (including color picker state).
  • Fixed an issue where double-clicking a tab item could create a phantom new tab.
  • Fixed “Add to Tab Tray” actions showing when Tab Tray is disabled.
  • Fixed duplicate tab detection in incognito windows caused by internal URLs (e.g. about:blank).
