Tabs can now be muted individually, giving you control over audio playback per tab.
The CLI can now connect to a specific browser instance by server name, making it easier to automate multi-Profile, multi-agent, or multi-instance setups.

Task Space and window state management is more reliable: improvements to Space migration, window close, Profile switching, and session restore reduce duplicate frames, state loss, and accidental delete confirmations.
Browser data auto-sync now only runs when ego (lite) is not the default browser and the sync interval has elapsed, with support for sync plans across multiple Chromium profiles.
Browser source discovery now runs off the UI thread, reducing the chance of the interface stalling during data sync checks.
Copy for import data sync, default browser prompts, and onboarding is clearer, making current settings easier to understand.
The macOS DMG install experience now defaults to double-click install, with updated background art and window layout; preview builds still use the drag-to-install layout for release checks.

Fixed an issue where refreshing the overlay in a background or non-current Task Space could override the current user-control state.
Fixed Command-W in a user-controlled Space incorrectly triggering the Agent task delete confirmation.
Fixed transient, incognito, pending-delete, and other non-restorable windows being incorrectly migrated during migration.
Fixed an issue where a failed ego-browser Node.js script could still cause the outer CLI to report success.
Fixed CLI task creation not landing on the regular Profile and creating a visible Task Space when only incognito windows existed.
Fixed the CLI CDP bridge allowing new browser targets to be created via Target.createTarget.
Fixed the Windows Start Menu shortcut label not using the ego (lite) product name.

A new “Keep browser data up to date” setting can periodically sync supported data, including bookmarks and history, from a detected source browser.

Closing the last tab in a Task Space now removes that Space immediately.
After browser data import finishes, the newly imported Profile window now opens automatically.
URLs opened outside an Agent task now open in a regular browser window instead of being added to a running Task Space.
