Latest version
Version 1.8
Released Mar 30, 2026 - 162.89 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAdded- Print reader article — a print button (printer icon, left toolbar beside the library button) sends the cleaned article to the browser print dialog or print-to-PDF. Typography is normalized for paper: 12pt body, 1.5 line height, full page width, light theme forced regardless of reader setting. The source URL is shown below the article byline (print only) and stays correct when switching between live and saved library articles. Images become clickable links in the exported PDF so the user can open them in a new tab to download. The floating panel is hidden during print.

Version 1.7
Released Mar 29, 2026 - 161.71 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAdded- Save-for-later reading list — save articles from any page and read them later from a library panel inside the reader overlay
- Back-to-article button — when reading a saved article from the library, a back button returns you to the original page article without closing the reader
Changed- Reader overlay and floating panel now use Shadow DOM for full CSS isolation
- Reader and floating panel CSS extracted from inline JS template literals into dedicated stylesheet files
- Theme selector simplified to light/dark only; auto/system mode removed
- Reader settings UI extracted into a dedicated module (
content-reader-settings.js) - Library panel UI extracted into a dedicated module (
content-reader-library.js)
Fixed- Reader-mode summary now saves under the library article's URL instead of the current page URL, so summaries are no longer misattributed when switching articles in the library
- XSS vulnerability:
on*event handlers andjavascript:/vbscript:URLs are now stripped from saved article HTML before rendering - Repeated AI requests (summarize, find interesting) now cancel the previous in-flight request instead of racing
_readerStatesin-memory mirror now stays in sync with storage changes from other tabs- Async state races, stale element references, and missed cleanup on reader close
- Accumulating
mouseleavelisteners on summary and highlight list items - Reader images no longer stretch —
height: autorestored correct aspect ratio - Translation restore now correctly reapplies stored translations when reopening an article
- Missing i18n translations for save/library UI across all supported locales
- Content script
matchesrestricted tohttp/httpsonly (was<all_urls>) - Background script no longer crashes on empty
choicesarray from the API - i18n placeholder RegExp no longer vulnerable to metacharacter injection

Released Mar 27, 2026 - 137.41 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAdded- Reader state persistence — reader mode now restores cached paragraph translations, summary targets, and reading position when you reopen the same article
Fixed- Reader mode now opens cleanly on first entry, with the floating reader button correctly switching into the settings trigger
- Cached summary items in reader mode once again scroll to the correct article location after reopening
- Cached page summaries now restore clickable scroll targets on normal pages too
- Sidebar content state no longer gets overwritten by stale responses when switching tabs quickly
- Clearing settings now also clears cached page summaries, reader state, and reader preferences

Changed- Sidebar toggle rows now show a clearer disabled state while reader mode temporarily locks panel-removal controls
- Summary cards and floating panel buttons now use more accurate click affordances

Version 1.5
Released Mar 26, 2026 - 134.19 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAdded- Reader mode — distraction-free reading overlay powered by Mozilla Readability, with per-page font size, line spacing, width, and theme controls (auto/light/sepia/dark); settings persist across sessions
- Translate in reader mode — the translate button works inside the reader overlay, targeting only the article content
- Reader mode i18n — all reader UI strings localised across all 13 supported locales
Fixed- Floating panel and hide-on-site toggles in the sidebar are now locked while reader mode is active, preventing the panel from being removed while the reader settings trigger is in use
- Settings popup repositions correctly when the sidebar is toggled open or closed
- Scroll position is correctly restored when closing reader mode even when the page was scrolled to the top
Changed- Module architecture refactored:
content.jssplit into seven focused modules (content-core,content-dom,content-translation,content-collectors,content-panel,content-selection,content-init)

Version 1.4
Released Mar 23, 2026 - 88.58 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterAdded- Smart selection toolbar on translated paragraphs — selecting text inside a translated paragraph now shows "↩ Original" (reverts that paragraph) and "Copy + Original" (copies source + selected translation together) instead of the redundant Translate button
- Copy article to clipboard — the second button in the floating panel extracts the page article as Markdown and copies it to the clipboard, with loading state while extracting
- New models — added gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano, o3, and o3-mini to the model selector
- API timeout — all OpenAI requests now timeout after 30 seconds instead of hanging indefinitely
- Sidebar loading timeout — if an operation takes longer than 45 seconds with no response, the loading spinner auto-clears with an error message
Fixed- Toggle buttons (original ↔ translation) on translated paragraphs now use SVG icons instead of text labels, so they fit all UI languages
- Toggle button icon is now correctly centred in the circular button
- Selection toolbar no longer shows Translate button on already-translated text
- Float panel size clamping now uses actual panel dimensions instead of hardcoded 52px
- Resetting all settings now also clears the saved panel position
- "No matches found" message now appears inside the Interests tab instead of the shared global error area
- API key error detection now uses an error code instead of locale-specific string matching, fixing the Settings link not appearing for non-English/Chinese browser locales
- Interest matching prompt tightened to reduce false positives and fabricated reasons
- Disable selection translate when the floating button is globally hidden
