Version 149.2.58 3/6/2026
We're working on bringing Wavebox to a language near you! If you'd like to help us test Wavebox in your language, please reach out to support!
🆕 New!
- Groundwork for translating Wavebox into other languages.
- Ctrl+click and middle-click on bookmarks now open them in a new tab within the same space
🔧 Updates & improvements
- Update to Chromium 149.0.7827.54
- Connect has been rebuilt to run natively inside Wavebox, for faster startup and a smoother, more reliable experience across calls, notifications and messaging
- Improved tab grouping in the tabstrip so branches across different apps render correctly as pills, drag and drop lands where you expect, and joining tabs into a branch happens in a single smooth step
- Tab groups now work in the tabstrip when tabs are grouped by app
- Removing a tab from a tab group in the tabstrip now keeps the tab in place next to its original group instead of jumping to the start of the strip
- Fixed dragging a tab between two adjacent tab groups in the horizontal tabstrip so it lands in the group your cursor is closest to instead of always joining the left group
- Closing a backgrounded child tab now advances to the next tab like Chrome, instead of jumping back to the tab that opened it
- External links opened into an existing Wavebox window now properly raise and focus that window on Windows, instead of leaving Wavebox behind the other app
- External links that focus an existing window now preserve its fullscreen or maximized state
- Improved reliability when reordering tabs if one is closed mid-operation
- Recovers spaces affected by an earlier sync bug that could collapse multiple spaces into one — click Resync on an affected device to heal the data
- Upgraded the underlying Material UI library to version 9 for a more consistent and polished look across settings and dialogs
- Refreshed the Gmail app icon
- UI tweaks to the Windows installer
- Improved crash reporting
- Updated bundled dependencies
- Various stability and polish improvements
🐛 Fixes
- Fixed a startup crash caused by a cookie setting that could leave the browser unable to launch
- Fixed a long-standing sync issue where on some setups, spaces could go missing or leave stale data behind when restoring or removing them
- More resilient sync, search and app integrations, with several crashes around Gmail, identity lookups, suggestion fetches and settings panels now handled gracefully
- Fullscreen windows on macOS now restore correctly on relaunch, with no leftover floating toolbar
- Speculative fix for glitchy fullscreen rendering on macOS
- Fixed a macOS issue where titlebar buttons could be positioned incorrectly
- Fixed an issue on Windows where crash reports were not being uploaded
- Fixed crash report auto-upload not being enabled on Linux and Mac
- Collapsing a nested tab pill no longer also collapses its parent
- Keyboard shortcut settings now show proper localized labels instead of raw placeholder text
- Fixed shadows and rounded corners on the side panel
- Fixes for Windows installer packaging
