  • Latest version

    Version 0.3.0

    Released May 28, 2026 - 672.4 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Version 0.3.0:
    - Migrated background processes to Manifest V3 service worker (Chrome) and compatible event pages (Firefox).
    - Implemented chrome.storage.local caching to prevent unauthenticated GitHub API rate-limiting.
    - Built a highly resilient, language-independent DOM scraper that utilizes GitHub's native octicon law icons to identify licenses.
    - Refactored DOM injection to target container structures rather than localized strings, preventing badge display failures on translated pages.
    - Enabled warning banners for repositories containing custom licensing exceptions or complex third-party license directories.
    - Refactored layout styling using native GitHub CSS variables to automatically support Light, Dark, and Dimmed themes.

    Version 0.2.0

    Released May 28, 2026 - 363.34 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    Migrated the add-on to Manifest V3 structure.

    Key changes in this version:
    - Registered a background event page (scripts) for Firefox compatibility alongside the service worker fallback.
    - Added storage-based caching (using chrome.storage.local) to cache repository license details. This prevents redundant API requests and avoids hitting unauthenticated rate limits.
    - Implemented a fast-path DOM scraper that parses the repository sidebar to inject the license badge instantly.
    - Added dynamic page navigation support (attaching to Turbo and PJAX load/render events) to ensure the badge updates when clicking links inside GitHub without refreshing the page.
    - Configured dynamic CSS styling using GitHub's native style variables, supporting Light, Dark, and Dimmed modes automatically.
    - Integrated the complex license warning alert to display when custom exceptions or third-party license directories are present.
