What's New in 4.4.6
--- New Features ---
• Universal Search Bar — Press Cmd+Shift+K (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows/Linux) on any webpage to instantly search your open tabs and the web. Includes auto-suggestions, tab switching across all windows, and works with your preferred search engine.
• Custom Wallpaper Upload — Upload your own images as wallpapers. Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP with drag-and-drop or file picker.
• Customizable Keyboard Shortcut — Change the universal search shortcut from Settings > General or via chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
• Global Search Toggle — Enable or disable the universal search bar from Settings > General.
--- Improvements ---
• Switching to a tab in a minimized window now properly restores and focuses the window.
• Close duplicate tabs now preserves the tab you're currently viewing instead of an arbitrary one.
• Uploaded wallpapers no longer appear in wallpaper history (since they have no Unsplash source).
• Improved wallpaper thumbnail quality in the settings preview.
• Settings changes (search engine, open links in new tab, global search) now sync reliably to the content script.
--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed Unsplash attribution showing twice when FeedHub is disabled but Google Workspace is enabled.
• Fixed wallpaper not updating when selecting from history after using a custom upload.
• Fixed auto-suggestions not appearing in the universal search bar on certain websites (CORS issue).
• Fixed keyboard input being hijacked by websites (e.g., Claude.ai) while the search overlay is open.
