Version 1.19.14
Released Oct 21, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 Firefox no longer stops halfway when opening groups with
file:,data:,javascript:,view-source:orresource:tabs. These URLs are treated as forbidden, and any tab that still fails is skipped and reported, so the rest open and private groups still get re-locked. - 🐛 The password prompt no longer keeps spinning if opening tabs fails.
- 🐛 Creating a private group now ignores extra "Create" button clicks and "Enter" key presses while it is still encrypting, so only one group is saved.
- 🐛 The select tabs screen now saves tabs in the order you see after dragging them, instead of the original order. Deselecting and reselecting a tab no longer moves it to the end.

Version 1.19.13
Released Oct 20, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 New password form can no longer be submitted with mismatched passwords after a paste, autofill, or drag-and-drop.
- 🐛 Renaming a folder to an already taken name now adds a
(Copy n)suffix instead of creating a duplicate folder. Closes #176. - 🐛 Search no longer matches the encrypted contents of locked groups, so typing random letters can't surface an unrelated locked group and open its password prompt. Locked groups now match by name only. Closes #178.
- 🐛 The import success message now shows how many groups were actually imported or replaced, instead of counting duplicates that were skipped. Closes #175.
- 🐛 Opening a private group with
encrypt after restoreon now keeps the updatedopen count, instead of re-locking it with the old count from memory. Closes #177.

Version 1.19.12
Released Oct 19, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🧑💻 Added description to "Lock the group back after restoring the tabs" setting to make it more clear.
- 🐛 Setting
If the new group name matches an existing one, override itnow only applies to public groups. Private groups are never replaced, and creating a private group with a matching name no longer removes the public one. - 🐛 Wrong passwords for groups still using the old CryptoJS encryption format are now rejected instead of unlocking the group with junk data and overwriting its links.

Version 1.19.11
Released Oct 19, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 Fixed issue where Firefox was opening empty tabs in addition to settings page when you hit the Settings button in the sidebar, not in navbar. Closes #169

Version 1.19.10
Released Oct 19, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 Removing a URL lock from an already unlocked private group no longer re-encrypts it with whatever password was typed. If a password is remembered, it must match, otherwise the lock is removed and the group stays unlocked, so a typo or a stray password can't silently re-lock the group under an unknown password.

Version 1.19.9
Released Oct 18, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 Creating a new group or folder can no longer reuse the id of an existing one, which could silently overwrite it. Closes #112.
- 🐛 Groups hidden by the "show private groups only in incognito" setting no longer show up in search results, so pressing Enter can't open a group you cannot see. Closes #113.
- 🐛 Pressing Enter after "Add more tabs" no longer creates a brand new group. It now adds the selected tabs to the group you came from, matching the Add button. Closes #114.

Version 1.19.8
Released Oct 17, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🐛 Creating a private group with an unused name no longer adds an unnecessary
(Copy 1)suffix. Genuine name collisions still get the normal copy suffix. Closes #155.

Version 1.19.7
Released Oct 17, 2026 - 1.98 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🧑💻 When you delete a group, it used to show an error for half a second that group doesn't exist. Now it's fixed.
- 🐛 "Restore tabs and delete group" no longer deletes the group when at least 1 tab fails to open. The group is kept with only the links that failed to restore, so you don't lose them. Closes #117.
- 🐛 Opening an unlocked private group with "Lock the group back after restoring the tabs" on and "Remember my password after unlock" off did nothing. It now asks for a password before opening any tab. Closes #116.
- 🐛 Pressing Enter in search asked for the password of an already unlocked private group and failed with "Unexpected error occurred". Opening a group now shares one code path between search and the open button. Closes #115.
- 🐛 Opening a group from search with Enter hid every folder until the popup was reopened. The full list now comes back once the group opens. Closes #153.

Version 1.19.3

- 🧑💻 The remember password option is disabled with an upgrade warning on browsers without session storage support (Firefox older than 115).
- 🐛 Fixed toast notifications rendering at inconsistent widths across browsers. They now always take 90% of the popup width.

<name> (Copy n)instead of silently ignoring it. #127 - 🧑💻 Creating a folder with a duplicate name now saves it as
<name> (Copy n)instead of silently ignoring it. - 🧑💻 Split confusing
save/saveManygroup functions intocreate,update,createMany, andimportManywith a single responsibility each. - 🧑💻 Improved id generation for groups and folders. Ids now use cryptographic randomness instead of
Math.random, making collisions across devices and backups far less likely. - 🧑💻 Change Codeberg icon in sidebar to black and white to match other icons in the sidebar

Released Jan 19, 2026 - 1.89 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- 🧑💻 Updated all dependencies to the latest versions.
