Recently, we’ve been made aware of two issues in Chrome (and probably Chromium and any other Chrome-based browser). The following are both issues in Chrome version 131.0.6778.70, and possibly some slightly earlier releases:

1. Witch can only list Chrome’s tabs if they’re in the foreground; once you switch Chrome to the background, you’ll only see one tab. We can’t work around this one, unfortunately. We’ve reported the bug, so hopefully it will garner some attention and get fixed soon. If not, though, we’re stuck, as we can’t see a good way around the problem within Witch’s code.
2. If you use named windows (Window > Name Window…), those custom names no longer show in Witch. Instead, you get the window title, as you do for unnamed windows. This is a very recent regression, and the good news is that it’s already been fixed in Chromium, so that fix should be making its way to Chrome soonish. (If it doesn’t, we have a workaround ready to go, but we’d rather not use it if we don’t have to.)

When/if these issues are resolved in Chrome, we’ll update this post. But for now, if you’re a Chrome-using Witch user, you’ll run into both of these issues.
