  • Version 2.0

    Released Feb 23, 2021 - 14.22 KB

    Version 2.0 of Always Open Privately has several improvements over the old releases:
    * better UI for configuring the add-on
    * better handling of already existing private windows (the add-on does not create a new private window if another private window is already opened).
    * more features: always strip tracking parameters from URLs (if you want to).

    Released Feb 19, 2021 - 12.52 KB

    Some rework of the code:

    * Settings are now cached during runtime (reducing I/O oprations). Settings are only reread from storage if settings were changed.
    * URLs are now parsed using the URL parser of the "a" DOM element.
    * The check whether a domain is in the always-open-privately list is now more efficient.
