New • Dark mode for every site: Settings › Website Settings › Force Dark Mode makes websites dark when your iPhone is in dark mode. • Send links from your Mac: update Lens for Mac to 1.2, then drag any link onto Lens in the menu bar, right-click a link with the browser extensions, or use a keyboard shortcut. • Ask AI: ask the AI you use, right from the suggestions. Off until you pick one, and you can make AI your default search too. • More search engines: Qwant, or your own in Settings › Search › Search Engine › Custom. • Pin from any app: tap Lens in the share sheet to pin a link, or send it to your Mac. • Close all tabs in one go: in the tab switcher, pull past the first tab.
