Unified color mode for themes

In theme editor there’s a new option under “Settings → Themes → [select a theme] → Editor → Coloring mode” called ‘Unified’. This mode let’s you have a picture or color cover the entire browser window and all toolbars. Check how it behaves unexpectedly across different UI areas and let us know what you think.

Security icon and adblock badge merged

The security info (in the address field) and the adblock badge now share a single button and dialog. Check that both the security info and adblock controls still display and function correctly, and flag anything that looks off in the layout or behavior in the comments below.

Chromium 148

With the Chromium bump expect some regressions across the board. So if you notice anything that looks broken or different (from the previous snapshot), but does not appear to be listed in the changelog, it might be due to this and you should still report it.
