Aar318's Stream Notifier v3.41.0.2

Live-Count Reliability Patch

• Fixed the extension-toolbar badge alternating between the accurate total and a partial count, often 1.
• Scheduled favorite checks now merge their results into a shared, complete per-profile live-status snapshot instead of publishing one tab's partial in-memory view.
• Tabs without a complete snapshot preserve the last authoritative full-check count until a complete check finishes.
• Full, favorite-priority, and manual checks now keep the toolbar badge and in-page live count aligned across tabs.

No streamer lists, profiles, notification preferences, permissions, or account access changed in this patch.

Aar318's Stream Notifier v3.41.0.1

Position-Lock Patch

• Replaced the Twitch Streamers button and lock's separate fixed-position tracking with one shared flex-positioned control group.
• The two segments now move, resize, and reset atomically, matching the clean segmented behavior of the TTS controls.
• Twitch header rerenders, live-count badge width changes, window resizing, dragging, and Reset Position can no longer leave the lock behind or temporarily misalign it.
• Preserved the existing Kick appearance and positioning while using the same safer shared control structure.

No tracking behavior, streamer data, settings, permissions, or account access changed in this patch.

Aar318's Stream Notifier v3.41.0.0

New: Session Dashboard

• Added a dedicated Session tab showing newly live streams, recently ended streams, longest-running streams, rising viewer counts, and live favorites.
• Session information is kept locally per Stream Notifier profile with bounded viewer samples.
• Added one-click Clear Session without changing tracked streamers, favorites, or alert history.
• Added optional automatic session clearing from 1 hour through 7 days; it is off by default.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

• The dashboard updates after live checks and storage changes without reopening the panel.
• Session cards link directly to Twitch or Kick and follow the active theme and responsive panel layout.
• Added and refreshed tooltips for Session controls and other recently added non-obvious actions.
• Added configurable grouped live alerts, enabled by default at 7 simultaneous streams.
• Group summaries clearly separate Twitch-only, Kick-only, and Twitch + Kick live counts; later alerts remain individual when the threshold is not met.
• Reduced memory use for large profiles with progressive offline-row rendering, lazy thumbnails, hidden-panel media suspension, stale-status pruning, and detached-handler cleanup.
• Export, import, and automatic-backup recovery now preserve grouped-alert preferences, quiet hours, and the session auto-clear duration through the same normalized restore path.
• The position lock is now visually attached to the Streamers button as a seamless segmented control and follows its exact edge and height.

No account authentication, analytics, or remote tracking was added.

Aar318's Stream Notifier v3.40.0.0

• Removed the redundant fullscreen iframe flag from live previews, eliminating the allow/allowfullscreen precedence warning without changing preview behavior.

Changes since v3.39.0.0:
- Added scheduled quiet hours with selectable days, local start/end times, current-period skipping, and an option to allow favorite alerts.
- Added a Snooze Schedule shortcut beside the existing quick-snooze controls.
- Manual snooze and scheduled quiet hours now share one clear live status without allowing favorites to bypass a manual snooze.
- Automatic backups now include the quiet-hours schedule and preserve it through import and restore.
- Converted the most security-sensitive remaining dynamic UI output (import errors, group labels, and debug logs) to safe text/DOM construction.
- Updated tooltips and status copy for the new scheduling controls.
- Corrected the add-streamer + button alignment and kept the Settings panel dimensions stable while toggling controls.
- Replaced text-based add icons with precisely centered SVG plus icons across Streamers, profiles, and Exclusions.
- Imports now reset stale empty/settings dimensions, recalculate the populated grid, and reposition the panel like a fresh open.
- Standardized the persistent header metadata as “v3.40.0.0 by Hor318” with the author highlighted in dark green.
- Added safe empty-list links to the Twitch Following and Kick Following pages.
- Added a compact header audio-preview player below support/version controls with pause/resume, stop, and Twitch volume control.
- Kept Kick previews controllable from the same mini player while clearly deferring volume to the system because Kick does not expose reliable embedded volume control.
- Preserved all existing Twitch/Kick tracking, favorite-first checks, cross-site detection, notification ownership, mobile layouts, and recovery features.
- Kept the optimized favorite-first 30-second path, Twitch batch queries, and bounded provider concurrency after reviewing startup/check latency.
- Transient provider/network failures now flow into the existing retry and fallback logic without creating persistent browser extension-error entries.

• Stabilized Twitch header anchoring: temporary navigation/header rerenders and blank panel clicks now retain the last valid Streamers-button position instead of sending it to the bottom-right and reflowing the panel around it.

Security note:
Dynamic HTML cleanup is an ongoing defense-in-depth project. The most urgent user-controlled output is handled in this release; additional low-risk static templates will be converted incrementally in future releases.

Aar318's Stream Notifier v3.39.0.0
Changes since v3.38.0.0

• Added a separately coordinated 30-second priority check for favorited streamers.
• Newly favorited streamers are checked immediately, and favorites are processed first in every complete streamer check.
• Favorite checks render and publish once per batch while retaining existing notification and sound deduplication.
• Restyled the Exclusions and profile add buttons with the same crisp, high-contrast plus used by the main streamer form.
• Added one-click clear controls to streamer search, streamer-name entry, and exclusion-pattern entry fields.
• Streamer search now reports when there are no exact matches and offers clickable fuzzy-name suggestions when appropriate.
• Added or refreshed tooltips and accessible labels for favorites, search clearing, fuzzy suggestions, add controls, and exclusion controls.
• Preserved the 45-second complete-list schedule, mobile layout, backup recovery, notification snoozing, cross-platform discovery, and existing profiles/settings.

New in 3.38.0.0

• Narrow and mobile layouts now use only Mini or Compact streamer cards.
• A saved Full density is mapped to Mini while the viewport is narrow, without replacing the user's desktop preference.
• The Full density control is hidden on mobile.
• Added responsive panel, settings, and add-streamer form rules to prevent horizontal overflow while resizing.
• When Twitch's navigation lacks room, the Streamers button moves to a safe floating position instead of crowding Search or other header controls.
• Added four built-in favorite alert sounds: Gentle Chime, Ascending Chime, Bright Sparkle, and Soft Pulse.
• Replaced the favorite-sound settings stack with a single sound dropdown and adjacent preview button.
• Choosing Custom Sound reveals the URL/local-file controls and clearly reports the current custom source.
• Favorite sound selection is now included in profiles, imports, exports, automatic backups, and factory reset.
• Replaced the low-contrast emoji inside the add-streamer button with a crisp, high-contrast plus symbol.
• Favorite-alert audio now waits for a trusted, active user gesture before unlocking Web Audio.
• Autoplay-policy deferrals remain silent and retry on a later valid interaction instead of producing extension errors.
• Mobile refreshes now preserve the drawer's actual scroll position and first visible streamer instead of resetting toward the top.
• Intermediate Twitch/Kick combined-platform updates refresh only the affected card; the full list is rebuilt once after the completed check.
• Mobile thumbnails reserve a 16:9 area before loading to prevent list layout shifts.
• Cleaned up the narrow-phone add-streamer form so platform, add, scan, and status controls occupy predictable rows.
• Restored two streamer cards per row for Mini view on narrow portrait phones, including 360px and S25 Ultra-class viewports.
• Compact view remains single-column on narrow phones for readability.
• Kept the mobile Streamers control in a stable lower-bar position without chasing Twitch/browser app prompts.
• Lowered the control's stacking priority so native dialogs and foreground app prompts naturally cover it.
• Mobile NEW badges now expire after 12 seconds and release their card space immediately, while the existing three-minute desktop timing is unchanged.
• Sized the mobile Streamers button to its content and clamped its complete live-count badge inside the viewport with safe-area-aware right-edge spacing.
• Made mobile edge placement authoritative over stale saved/locked desktop coordinates and re-clamp it against the visual viewport whenever the live count or panel state changes.
• Opening the extension icon uses the same mobile drawer lifecycle as opening the page button.
• Added an empty-profile recovery banner that finds the newest automatic backup and offers a restore.
• Factory Reset preserves automatic-backup snapshots so the recovery banner can restore a previously profile.

New in 3.37.0.0

• Reworked notification lifecycle handling around an explicit browser-session ID shared by Chrome/Firefox extension tabs.
• The first eligible notifier instance now runs an immediate check once per browser session and includes every streamer already live. Large startup sets continue to use the existing grouped-alert threshold to prevent notification spam.
• Subsequent alerts are driven by offline-to-online transitions, with a unified ten-minute anti-flap window and session-aware persisted state.
• Added deterministic notification IDs and strengthened cross-tab delivery ownership so overlapping checks replace or suppress duplicates instead of creating repeated alerts.
• Failed browser notification creation no longer marks an alert as delivered; its ownership claim is released so a later check can retry.
• Fixed combined Twitch/Kick entries not always clearing their shared live-notification state after both platforms went offline.
• Notifications are now flushed before slower cross-platform suggestion probes and Twitch viewer-count enrichment.
• The scheduled check target is now 45 seconds, keeping normal discovery within roughly one minute while retaining bounded Twitch batching and Kick concurrency.
• Replaced the standalone header bell with a labeled Snooze dropdown beside "+ This Page."
• The new Snooze menu includes 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 8 hours, indefinite pause, immediate resume, and custom minute/hour/day durations up to 30 days.
• Settings also supports the new custom snooze duration.

New in version 3.34.0.0:

• Added optional automatic configuration backups with adjustable retention from 1 to 50 backups.
• Added manual backup, restore-latest, download-latest, and clear-backups controls.
• Automatic backups avoid saving duplicate copies when nothing has changed.
• Added extension-menu commands to open the panel and check streamers immediately.
• Added a command to add or remove the current Twitch or Kick channel directly from the extension menu.
• Added a favorite-alert sound test button and more reliable audio playback.
• Improved coordination between browser tabs to reduce duplicate status checks and notifications.
• Added Ko-fi and Donate shortcuts with an option to hide the in-panel support buttons.
• Improved panel behavior when entering and leaving fullscreen mode.
