New
- Choose how the address field shows a page's address in Appearance: on two lines, on one line, or just the site.
- Super Copy, on by default, copies and shares links without known trackers. It follows supported redirect links to their destination, applies AdGuard's URL Tracking filter and Crest's own rules, and shortens Amazon product links. Selecting the address and copying it keeps everything.
- Choose how the address field, pins, extensions, selected tab and other glass surfaces read in Appearance: Automatic follows each Space, dark over dark Spaces and light over very light ones, or keep them Light, Dark, or as your Mac's appearance (System).
- On Mac, closing a Quick Window that opened over another app, from one of its links or the New Quick Window shortcut, takes you back to that app. Crest's other windows stay behind that app while the Quick Window is open.
Improved
- The sidebar narrows to 164 points, about as narrow as Arc's. In a narrow sidebar, Forward folds away to keep clear of the window's buttons, and Copy URL makes room for the address.
- On macOS 27, Settings pages other than Shortcuts and Feature Flags scroll wherever the pointer is, with the scroll bar at the edge of the page, while their settings stay in a column down the middle.
Fixed
- Copy URL and Site Controls sit side by side in the address field instead of on top of each other.
- A folder inside a closed folder opens when you click it, showing everything in it while the folder around it stays closed.
- The Start Page title on the Mac reads in its Space's light or dark look, so it no longer draws black over a dark Space.
- In a narrow sidebar, Copy URL appears in the address field while the pointer is over it, so you can still copy the address with a click.
- On Mac, a Quick Window that a link from another app or the New Quick Window shortcut opens appears over the app you're using, on the display you're using it on, instead of over another app's window. Links in Crest's own Settings open over Crest.
- An isolated test copy of Crest on Mac keeps its own sidebar width, opening at the default and never changing the installed app's.
