Phind's web UI returns a Vercel 404 at the root as of 2026-10-27, so
users who clicked Open AI with Phind as the default got a dark error
page. The engine is now marked frozen with a reason, which keeps the
Settings row visible with an explanation but takes it out of the
enabled list; anyone whose defaultLlmId was phind automatically falls
back to the next enabled engine (Perplexity).
AI picker icons move from runtime favicon fetch back to bundled files
(ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini return as engine-icons/*.svg — initial-on-color
tiles). The fetch path still runs as a fallback for custom engines and
anything else that lacks a bundle.
The ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini and Phind rows in the sidebar AI picker now
pull each site's own favicon through the same fetch-and-cache path
custom engines already use. The old placeholder color-letter tiles I
shipped in 0.3.106 are removed; the engine's sym emoji is the pre-fetch
fallback until the real favicon lands (cached per profile after that).
Change: fall back from bundledIcon(id) to customFavicon(https://<fav>/)
for built-in engines when no bundled file exists. Perplexity keeps its
existing bundled perplexity.png.
Right-click or chevron-click on the sidebar strip's AI button now opens
a borderless overlay instead of a plain native menu: enabled engines
are listed with their bundled icons, the current engine is highlighted
with the acid accent + check, and a settings row at the bottom jumps
to Search settings. Clicking an engine selects it as the default and
opens it in the left panel in one click.
Bundled engine icons gained an svg-first fallback: engine-icons/<id>.svg
is picked up before <id>.png so plain color-coded letter tiles ship
alongside the existing bitmap favicons. Added tiles for ChatGPT, Grok,
Gemini and Phind — each a simple initial-on-color mark.
