Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[5.4.14] - 2026-10-24

• Prevent overlapping backup imports, bulk rule deletion and settings resets during checks and saving.
• Reject outdated bulk deletion confirmations when another window has replaced the rules.
• Keep localized results, failures and pending synchronization feedback available in accessible status regions.
• Restore saved default settings in place while preserving disclosures, Search drafts and later keyboard focus.
• Serialize individual settings saves around reset and preserve later field choices.

[5.4.13] - 2026-10-24

• Prevent overlapping backup imports during access checks, file reads, password verification and saving.
• Keep import results available in a dedicated accessible status region, with localized format, size and failure messages.
• Allow an explicit retry with the same backup after cancellation or failure.

• Report saved imports awaiting synchronization without asking users to repeat the import.

[5.4.12] - 2026-10-24

• Keep independently selected chart dates and keyboard focus when statistics refresh.
• Preserve visible dates across range changes and select the nearest available boundary when a date leaves the displayed window.
• Name the 7/30-day range controls and keep charts, totals and the selected range consistent during overlapping updates.
• Retain the last displayed statistics when loading fails and show localized feedback with a way to retry.
• Prevent repeated clearing requests and report clearing failures without claiming success.

[5.4.11] - 2026-10-23

• Keep rule deletion controls keyboard accessible throughout the Strict Mode countdown and support Escape and Cancel.
• Announce confirmation readiness and keep the confirmation available while its controls are focused or hovered.
• Prevent duplicate deletion requests during settings checks, password verification and pending changes.
• Give deletion buttons site-specific names and restore focus to a nearby rule or Add Rule after list updates.
• Keep Strict Mode confirmation readable without widening rule-table columns and keep focused deletion controls clear of notifications.
• Preserve later focus choices and keep failed deletions available for an explicit retry.

[5.4.10] - 2026-10-23

• Associate Focus Session duration errors with the input and retain the entered value for correction.
• Prevent repeated Start and Stop requests while an action is pending and show safe, localized errors.
• Restore useful keyboard focus after starting, stopping or completing a session, including Hardcore mode.
• Announce observed session transitions and saved changes awaiting browser synchronization while keeping timer updates quiet.
• Preserve the displayed Focus state when reading the saved session fails.

[5.4.9] - 2026-10-23

• Associate Popup rule errors with the affected address fields and focus the first invalid field after Save.
• Keep entered addresses after validation and duplicate-rule errors, and prevent repeated saves while a request is pending.
• Return keyboard focus to Add Rule or Add Whitelist after saving and respect later focus choices.
• Keep Popup draft actions and field messages readable on narrow screens and with enlarged text.

[5.4.8] - 2026-10-23

• Show accessible, nonblocking notifications for rule changes in Settings, including saved changes awaiting browser synchronization.
• Associate persistent validation messages with rule fields and focus the first invalid field after Save.
• Preserve rule drafts after validation errors, prevent repeated saves while a request is pending and restore useful keyboard focus after saving.

[5.4.7] - 2026-10-23

• Expose Popup notifications through a persistent polite, atomic status region without moving focus.
• Queue rapid and repeated messages with separate live-region updates; retain them while the page is hidden or a modal dialog is open and cancel stale work on pagehide.
• Fit long translated messages and unbroken text within the viewport, allow more reading time and pause expiry while hovered or keyboard-focused.
• Add notification lifecycle regressions and native scenario 55.

[5.4.6] - 2026-10-23

• Make Popup manual rule states named native toggle buttons with keyboard activation and committed pressed state.
• Preserve rule-assignment focus across deferred and overlapping Popup refreshes, respect later focus choices and fall back to Add when the action disappears.
• Ignore duplicate activation while password authorization or a mutation is pending; keep muted categories and Focus-locked toggles unavailable.
• Keep localized URL field names after saved-rule placeholders are cleared. Add focused regressions and native Popup keyboard scenario 54.
• Synchronize focus-test setup with the preceding save and wait for native password-dialog accessibility names without replaying actions or increasing deadlines.

[5.4.5] - 2026-10-23

• Set document language and direction from native extension locale metadata; keep URL editing left-to-right in RTL layouts.
• Fit Options to narrow viewports and reflow inline editor actions and Daily Limit fields without widening saved-rule columns or changing address wrapping.
• Make schedule day grids, group controls and dialog actions adapt to narrow and zoomed layouts. Position close controls and select arrows according to text direction.
• Add native 200% browser zoom coverage for editing, retained drafts, one explicit save and modal geometry.

[5.4.4] - 2026-10-23

• Make the manual rule state a named native toggle button with committed pressed state, keyboard activation and an unavailable state for muted categories. Ignore repeated activation while authorization or a mutation is pending.
• Keep focus on the same rule/list toggle after table refresh, fall back to Add if it disappears and respect focus moved to another control.
• Expose chart days as a named single-selection radio group using native button activation, exact textual values, one Tab stop and wrapping arrows that follow visual direction in RTL.
• Add focused regressions and native keyboard scenario 52, including password cancellation and authorized toggling.

[5.4.3] - 2026-10-22

• Name Feedback and Rule Packs dialogs, localize their cancel buttons and manage initial, boundary and return focus.
• Use native modal schedule editing, including nested Rule Packs editing; preserve drafts, focus after group edits and associate announced validation with the invalid control.
• Announce concise Rule Pack results, retain saved/pending details and prevent duplicate submissions while a request is pending, including across close/reopen.
• Keep Feedback dismissal responsive during slow storage operations and support retry after action failure with localized errors.
• Add lifecycle regressions and native keyboard scenarios 50–51.

[5.4.2] - 2026-10-22

• Use a named native password dialog with visible localized field labels, keyboard navigation, Escape/Cancel and focus return. Announce validation errors while preserving drafts, and name the license-key recovery field.
• Prevent duplicate confirmation and late verification results from authorizing a cancelled or replaced prompt. Keep recovery writes single-flight and report storage errors without exposing private details.
• Add password lifecycle regressions and native keyboard scenario 49.

[5.4.1] - 2026-10-22

• Add localized accessible names to rule controls, keyboard-operated Options sections, a native Options button and a named Back to top action. Hide collapsed panel controls from Tab while preserving drafts, and return focus when the scroll action hides.
• Add focused regression checks and native accessibility scenario 48. Align source and package metadata and update-page highlights for the 5.4.1 store release.

[5.4.0] - 2026-10-22

• Refresh the familiar blue/purple interface with darker action colors, readable helper text, clearer form boundaries and visible keyboard focus across Popup, Options, dialogs, onboarding and the update page.
• Use a restrained glass surface in Settings with an opaque fallback. Honor supported reduced-transparency, increased-contrast, forced-color and reduced-motion preferences. Keep deletion countdown/ready colors stable instead of pulsing or flashing between red and green.
• Add a palette contrast guard for text, controls, focus, gradient stops and the glass fallback. Document the remaining accessibility work; this release does not claim complete WCAG conformance.
• Update the minor-release highlights and version metadata. Preserve saved preferences, rules, schedules, Pro access and browser-specific extension behavior.

[5.3.29] - 2026-10-21

• Show a saved-but-pending warning when rule mutations cannot fully update browser blocking or still need Daily Limit recovery. Cover Popup, Options, Rule Lists, categories, import/clear and Rule Pack reports while preserving committed edits and existing error handling.
• Keep Rule Pack counts and details visible alongside the warning. Localize the new feedback in all 57 locales.
• Add 41 regressions for applied, pending and rejected outcomes, saved-state refresh, real DNR failure/recovery and avoiding mutation replay.

[5.3.28] - 2026-10-18

• Report pending browser-rule synchronization after Focus Stop and show failures in Popup while preserving the saved stop intent.
• Count only saved active-to-inactive Focus transitions. Repeated Stop still performs cleanup and suppresses the current scheduled occurrence without adding another stopped session.
• Contain diagnostic and telemetry write failures so they cannot break Stop responses. Finish committed cleanup before a queued Start, including a Start that is later rejected.
• Add 19 worker and Popup regressions covering duplicate Stop, natural completion, scheduled starts, DNR recovery, reporting failures and concurrent Start. Align release metadata to 5.3.28.

[5.3.27] - 2026-10-14

• Reconcile native blocking rules after install/update initialization finishes restoring Daily Limit usage, Focus and access state. Apply exhausted recovered budgets and remove expired-day blocking even when rule/profile data needs no visible migration.
• Add production-worker regressions for durable remaps, mixed legacy counters and expired-day cleanup on both install and update, including blocking state before the install page opens.
• Align source release metadata to 5.3.27. Native browser CI remains the next verification step.

[5.3.26] - 2026-10-13

• Retain spent Daily Limit budgets while discarding a foreground segment from a previous browser session. Check a small storage.session marker before accounting, including restored-tab events that precede onStartup; keep accounting across ordinary background-worker replacement.
• Preserve durable remaps and v1 counters if a boundary write fails. Use an explicit queued onStartup boundary on Firefox 113/114 without storage.session; add manager and production-worker regressions.
• Compare migration data independently of dictionary field order so native storage serialization cannot rewrite unchanged rules or replace their revisions at startup.
• Align source release metadata to 5.3.26. Native browser CI remains required; no new permissions or telemetry are added.

[5.3.25] - 2026-10-11

• Keep the open Pro section at its natural height after a license-status refresh or feedback update, including feedback received during the opening animation. Prevent long error text from overflowing narrow layouts.
• Preserve collapsed/inert state, retry input, successful activation focus return and Firefox's synchronous user-action consent flow. Use one transition listener across cancelled and repeated openings.
• Add seven production Options regressions for status refresh, pending/failed activation, empty keys, manual checks, logout and replies after collapse. Add native scenario 47 for observed feedback geometry after background status refresh and column resizing; align runtime release metadata to 5.3.25.

[5.3.24] - 2026-10-11

• Separate failed install/update preparation, state initialization, host permission checks, DNR integrity and install-page opening in telemetry using fixed lifecycle codes and existing event reasons.
• Keep lifecycle diagnostic context local and free of raw messages, URLs, keys and stacks. Preserve independent telemetry consent and debug-history controls; reporting failures cannot reject the browser listener.
• Await install-page creation and add production-worker regressions for failed initialization, API permission checks and page opening. Keep browser-specific retry handling and native E2E assertions unchanged.

[5.3.23] - 2026-10-10

• Preserve in-flight Daily Limit tab cleanup when verification confirms unchanged access. Keep early cancellation for actual Pro transitions and storage invalidation for changed credentials.
• Add nine production-worker regressions for Pro, Free and Legacy with no replacement credentials event, a repeated event before cleanup completes, and a repeated event after the DNR drain finishes. Compare storage values structurally so object key order cannot invent a change event.
• Align runtime release metadata to 5.3.23. Keep the existing 44 native Firefox scenarios and harness unchanged; minimum desktop, Android and other platforms remain separate checks.

[5.3.22] - 2026-10-10

• Add a native Linux/X11 undo-close tab scenario using real browser Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Shift+T shortcuts. Verify retained Daily Limit budgets, foreground accounting, alarms, expiry cleanup, Options/Popup reader values and DNR navigation.
• Check the native keyboard backend before launch and reject input if the fixture title or active desktop window no longer matches. Keep zero retries; no sessions permission or runtime workaround is added.
• Align release metadata and the default E2E target to 5.3.22. Startup session restore and other platforms remain separate checks.

[5.3.21] - 2026-10-10

• Keep Daily Limit accounting tied to the active tab in the last focused window, including native background loads and tab moves between two normal windows.
• Reconcile WINDOW_ID_NONE against current native focus so an older loss callback cannot leave a focused visible tab paused. Ignore window-query replies superseded by a newer focus event; retain real loss/query-failure pause and deadline cleanup.
• Add five production-worker regressions with controlled native API replies. Keep native two-window assertions, deadlines and zero retries unchanged; real Chromium CI remains required.
• Align release metadata and default browser E2E target to 5.3.21.

[5.3.20] - 2026-10-06

• Focus the new Options rule URL synchronously after inserting its row. Remove the delayed callback that could steal keyboard input from Daily Limit minutes and save an unintended URL and default budget.
• Assert exact form values and the persisted rule in browser add fixtures before testing accounting and deadline alarms.
• Allocate distinct Firefox WebDriver, Marionette and BiDi ports together and pass them explicitly through the public DriverService API. Record the ports in each browser report; preserve scenario failures without whole-scenario retries.
• Ignore older Popup snapshots and deferred row callbacks after a newer refresh, preventing duplicate or stale rules after import and moves.
• Extend native browser coverage for Popup extension-page readers and expired-day cleanup; these are separate from toolbar Popup lifecycle and real midnight.

[5.3.19] - 2026-10-06

• Bind Skip next session to the displayed schedule revision and absolute occurrence start. Reject stale actions after schedule edits, timezone changes and A-to-B-to-A edits, including queued saves and worker restarts.
• Recheck local occurrence identity and wall time after pending access/session reads and durable claim/alarm operations, before handing off scheduled activation and immediately before the worker writes active Focus. Retain the existing at-most-once claim if the time changes after it is written.
• Preserve input typed while Cancel refresh is pending; keep its original revision so a later save cannot overwrite another window's changes.
• Bind category toggles to the displayed profile, generation and list revision through password waits and the worker queue. Do not retarget the action when another Options window changes the active profile.
• Add 24 regressions using production modules with controlled browser API waits. Update source and E2E target metadata; native browser and Android checks remain a separate release step. No new permissions, storage keys or polling.

[5.3.18] - 2026-10-06

• Keep Options and Popup Daily Limit reads free of storage writes, so a delayed read cannot restore counters removed or changed by the worker. Preserve in-memory normalization and worker-owned day rollover and migration.
• Add regressions for reordered Chrome storage properties, legacy/expired usage, and a delayed Options read racing worker cleanup.
• Update source and E2E target metadata to 5.3.18; browser E2E confirmation remains a separate release check.

[5.3.17] - 2026-10-04

• Show Check Status and Log Out for a retained inactive license without re-entry or exposing the key. Keep verification feedback visible in all license views and preserve Firefox's user-action consent flow.
• Synchronize browser rules when Pro access returns, including active cross-list Focus Sessions; report deferred synchronization explicitly and ignore recovery replies superseded during synchronization.
• Capture Rule Pack destination and list markers when its dialog opens. Preserve Popup destinations through Pro-to-Free changes so the worker can reject the original stale or unauthorized intent.
• Treat one-for-one full-assignment replacement as a move with durable Daily Limit accounting. Keep added assignments independent and require explicit source moves for ambiguous Daily Limit replacements.
• Align the browser E2E target version with this package. Native E2E and live payment recovery remain separate release checks.

[5.3.16] - 2026-10-04

• Retain a stored license key when a successful server verification explicitly suspends Pro access. Existing startup, daily and manual checks can restore Pro after payment without another key activation.
• Keep access disabled while suspended. Explicit logout, HTTP 401/403 rejection and an explicit licenseValid: false response clear the key; temporary failures preserve the current access state.
• Preserve stored rules and profiles through suspension and recovery. Free recovery selects General; Pro recovery makes custom profiles available without automatically changing the selected profile.
• Add six worker regressions covering automatic recovery, daily maintenance, preserved rules, logout, invalid keys, temporary errors and delayed replies. Bind two existing Daily Limit interleaving tests to their fixture clock and give them a bounded timeout so a later calendar date cannot reset their counters or hang the suite. No new permissions, storage keys, locales or polling intervals. These use API doubles; native browser E2E was not run.

[5.3.15] - 2026-10-03

• Validate captured source and destination list revisions before queued rule additions, rule packs, and assignment updates, including bulk replacement and list ID reuse.
• Keep the Popup form and current-site button tied to the list selected when displayed; reject stale actions without changing rules, daily usage, or DNR.
• Reuse existing local metadata and error handling; add worker queue and form snapshot regressions without new permissions or telemetry fields.

[5.3.14] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Bind Rule List rename, activation (including the toggle alias) and deletion to a captured local per-list revision inside the existing mutation queue. Reject stale actions after ordinary rename/category changes, identical delete/create ID reuse and settings A-to-B-to-A.
• Commit list revisions with lists and active ID, including combined rule writes and durable Daily Limit journals. Restore previous list and rule revisions during import rollback; prune deleted list metadata and preserve revisions for unrelated changes, active-only selection and no-op rename.
• Retain the displayed list ID, generation and revision through Options callbacks, rename prompts, password waits and confirmations. A vanished list selection reaches background validation instead of falling back to General.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 33 regressions covering all four list intents, queued commits, identical recreation, unrelated changes, no-op, restart, storage failures, import rollback, category changes, atomic Daily Limit deletion, client/UI capture, snapshot consistency and private metadata exclusion.
• Local ruleListRevisions metadata stays outside portable backups, diagnostics and telemetry. UI snapshots include it in the existing read; list writes prepare one metadata snapshot. No polling, permissions, accounting changes, backend changes, locales or welcome messages. Pro/Free/Legacy/password access and Firefox native consent remain unchanged.
• Production modules with API doubles were tested; native browsers and Android E2E were not run. Stale assignment-list selection in add/move forms and H1 prune reachability remain separate follow-up cases.

[5.3.13] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Reject stale rule edits, toggles, deletions and assignment removals within the same bulk generation. Bind the displayed rule to a local per-rule revision checked inside the existing mutation queue; deleting and recreating identical settings with the same numeric ID creates a new revision.
• Commit revisions with rules, combined Rule List state and durable Daily Limit remap journals. Import rollback restores the previous revisions, and unchanged rules retain their revisions through unrelated changes or no-op saves.
• Preserve the displayed revision in Options and Popup callbacks through password waits and destructive confirmations; use the existing stale-state error and refresh behavior.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 33 regressions for two Options, all four rule ID intents, identical ID reuse, queued writes, unrelated changes, no-op saves, settings A-to-B-to-A, restart, storage errors, pending DNR synchronization, import rollback, assignment move/split/merge, list deletion, UI capture, client payloads and metadata privacy.
• Revisions are local metadata outside the portable rule schema, backup, diagnostics and telemetry. One extra storage snapshot when preparing a rule commit; no new permissions, polling, accounting reads, backend changes, locales or welcome messages. Pro/Legacy/password access and native Firefox consent are unchanged.
• These are production-module tests with API doubles, not native Chrome/Firefox/Android or browser E2E. Same-generation Rule List edit/recreation conflicts and H1 prune reachability remain separate follow-up cases.

[5.3.12] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Apply durable Daily Limit remaps before recording a foreground sample or closing its previous segment. Commit the updated usage and cleared journal together, preserving elapsed time after a failed move/split/merge recovery.
• Read usage and its journal in one storage call inside the existing accounting queue. Failed reads, failed writes and superseded samples retain the stored source state and retry journal; a completed sample is not applied twice by later recovery.
• Isolate startup sampling errors with the existing async handler boundary so a temporarily unavailable usage/journal read does not skip installation of effective DNR rules.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 18 regressions for real worker move/split/merge, foreground time, final recovery and exhausted DNR; atomic writes, retries, cancellation, empty samples, pause, chained remaps, restart, legacy numeric counters, midnight, accounting gaps and storage-await ordering.
• Retain existing max-usage merge semantics, the 90-second accounting gap cap, independent assignment budgets, rollback, Pro/Legacy/password access and native Firefox consent. No new storage keys, permissions, telemetry fields, polling, backend changes or welcome messages.
• These are production-module tests with API doubles, not native Chrome/Firefox/Android or browser E2E. H1 postcommit-prune reachability remains a separate unconfirmed case.

[5.3.11] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Bind Rule List rename, activation (including the toggle alias) and deletion to the generation captured with the displayed list snapshot. Validate it inside the existing mutation queue before any state changes, rejecting stale commands after import reuses list IDs.
• Read normalized lists, active list ID and their generation in one storage request. Options callbacks retain the list snapshot generation through prompts, confirmation and password awaits; stale conflicts use the existing refresh behavior.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 27 regressions for delayed and queued list commands, identical imports, fresh snapshots, rollback, restart, read failures, expected conflict telemetry, Pro/General restrictions and UI capture.
• Reuse the local bulk-replacement marker from 5.3.10. No additional marker, polling, permissions, locale keys, backend changes or welcome messages.
• Ordinary list mutations preserve the generation. Same-generation rename/rename and delete/create ID reuse, category toggles and adding new assignments remain separate checks. Native browser and Android E2E are not represented by these API-double tests.

[5.3.10] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Rule-ID commands from Options and Popup retain the bulk-replacement generation of their displayed rules. The worker validates it inside the mutation queue, rejecting old edit, toggle, delete and assignment-removal commands after import reuses numeric IDs.
• Import commits a new local generation with rules and lists, and rollback restores the previous generation. Clear rotates it before subsequent rule-ID reuse. Ordinary edits and additions preserve it, allowing unrelated views to remain usable.
• Read rules and their generation together for UI snapshots. Password and confirmation callbacks retain the captured generation; Popup removal also retains the displayed list assignment. A stale rejection or generation change refreshes the rule view using existing messages.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 35 regressions for queued ordering, identical/repeated imports, fresh and stale clients, rollback/storage failure, restart, clear/add reuse, local snapshot reads, UI callbacks and generation-only refresh.
• Existing worker tests explicitly model fresh UI snapshots; race tests send captured or raw generations. Legacy null generation remains valid until a bulk replacement. Missing generations after replacement are rejected.
• The marker stays in local storage and is excluded from portable backups, diagnostics details and telemetry. No new permissions, localization keys, polling, backend changes or update welcome messages.
• This protects rule-ID commands across import/clear. Per-rule concurrent edit conflicts and reused Rule List IDs remain separate checks.

[5.3.9] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Restore migrated backups containing separate rows of one exact blacklist target in different Rule Lists. Import combines only disjoint list assignments, retaining each list's schedule, Daily Limit and enabled state.
• Reject repeated assignments within an imported row before normalization can discard a configuration. Overlapping exact-target assignments, second enabled variants and whitelist conflicts still reject the entire import before writes.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 30 regressions and updated one exact-target import regression: legacy migration/export/import/export, row order, empty and existing profiles, repeated restore, all enabled/disabled pairs, assignment overlap, redirect case/category distinction, access, capacity, storage/DNR rollback and worker restart with independent Daily Limit budgets.
• Schema migration keeps live rule IDs and usage unchanged; combining targets occurs only while preparing replacement imports. Backup format, full replacement behavior, password/credentials protection and rollback remain unchanged.
• Updated release metadata and E2E version defaults. No new permissions, telemetry fields, localization keys, polling or update welcome messages.
• Stale Options commands after import remain the next planned conflict check.

[5.3.8] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Deleting a Rule List preserves disabled and enabled target variants moved to General instead of silently dropping targets with a matching URL.
• Validate moved targets against the complete projected General state before storage or usage writes. A second enabled target or exact duplicate rejects the whole deletion, leaving the list and rules intact.
• Options identifies the conflicting General address using existing localized labels. Conflict context is restricted to the local worker reply and remains excluded from telemetry.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 20 regressions and updated one deletion regression for the safer rejection behavior: variant order, projected collisions, Free/Legacy access, storage and DNR failure, Daily Limit remaps, recovery/restart, concurrent deletions and client/UI error presentation.
• Existing surviving shared assignments, durable usage journal, import rollback and syncPending behavior are preserved. The new checks index projected targets only during list deletion.
• Updated release metadata and E2E version defaults. No new permissions, telemetry fields, localization keys, polling or update welcome messages.
• Migrated exact-target backup round trips and stale Options commands after import remain separate planned checks.

[5.3.7] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Rules restored with disabled target variants remain editable. Adding, editing, moving and applying Rule Packs use the same enabled-target collision policy as backup restore and toggle.
• Disabled variants retain their settings beside an enabled variant; a second enabled target for the same URL/list is still rejected before writing.

Tests and compatibility

• Added 23 regressions for assignment-only and target edits, shared memberships, split/merge, Rule Packs, late collisions, whitelist conflicts, schedules, concurrent enabling, Daily Limit usage and worker/DNR results.
• Existing exact-duplicate handling, Pro/Legacy access, Free limits, import rollback and Daily Limit remap journal are preserved.
• Updated release metadata and E2E version defaults. No new permissions, telemetry fields, locales, polling or update welcome messages.
• This pass covers enabled/disabled target variants. List deletion, migrated exact-target backups and stale Options commands after import remain separate planned checks.

[5.3.6] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

• Backups restore disabled historical target variants alongside an enabled target for the same URL and Rule List without discarding either configuration.
• Imported enabled targets remain unique per URL/list; toggling a restored variant on is rejected while a competing variant is enabled. Disabling variants remains available.

Tests and compatibility

• Added backup round-trip, per-assignment collision, toggle, rollback and worker/DNR regressions.
• Existing full-replacement import, Pro/Legacy access checks, portable settings, password protection, duplicate/whitelist checks and DNR rollback are preserved.
• Updated release metadata and E2E version defaults. No new permissions, telemetry fields, locales or update welcome messages.

[5.3.5] - 2026-10-02

Fixed

• Custom redirect pages accept only HTTP(S) destinations from an exact matching redirect action in the currently installed dynamic DNR rules.
• Background validates the native message sender, rejects snapshots invalidated during the DNR read, and records statistics only from verified rule data.
• Denied or unavailable authorization falls back to the packaged blocked page without redirect statistics.

Tests and compatibility

• One background request and one DNR read per valid redirect; statistics persistence does not delay the reply. No polling or destination cache.
• Added redirect authorization and controlled-delay regressions. Retained web-accessible redirect resources required by DNR and the existing Firefox error boundary.
• Updated release metadata and E2E version defaults. Browser E2E failures and real browser timing are not addressed by this patch.

[5.3.4] - 2026-10-02

Fixed

• Mixed legacy and assignment Daily Limit counters keep the larger elapsed time during migration and backward-compatible reads.
• Accounting, pruning, and assignment remaps before startup migration preserve legacy usage and its active segment, including exhausted budgets transferred through the durable journal.
• Delayed visibility and storage reads cannot overwrite a remapped active segment after rules, profiles, Focus, access, or usage change.

Tests and compatibility

• Added real storage/browser-await cases for startup edits, concurrent Options remaps, recovery retries, deletion/import, activation/logout, and trusted Legacy access.
• Existing transition queues, journal recovery, import rollback, permissions, privacy, UI, and Scheduled Focus behavior are preserved. No new update welcome messages.

[5.3.3] - 2026-10-02

Fixed

• Single-tab Whitelist Focus cleanup now creates a safety tab before removing the last tab in a window, including platforms without the windows API.
• Batch cleanup recalculates window safety from current tabs after browser awaits and preserves a window if its replacement tab disappears.
• Cleanup preserves a tab navigating to an allowed or protected destination via pendingUrl. Delayed SPA redirects no longer replace a different pending navigation.

Tests and compatibility

• Added browser-await regression cases for navigation, window changes, stale SPA state, and cancellation during safety-tab creation.
• Stable watchdog behavior, permissions, licensing, Legacy access, Scheduled Focus, UI, and telemetry remain unchanged. No new update welcome messages.

[5.3.2] - 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Concurrent DNR requests now receive the result of the final synchronization, including requests received while diagnostics are being saved. Failed imports restore the previous rules instead of reporting a stale success.
• Installation metadata migration and rule mutations share the worker's Pro/Focus transition queue, preserving license activation and ordering paid actions with logout.
• Daily Limit migration joins the accounting queue so concurrent tab events cannot lose recorded usage.
• SPA checks use unique, non-reusable tokens and discard stale decisions after rules, profiles, Focus, access, or usage changes.
• Tab cleanup checks current URLs again before removal, including Whitelist Focus, and abandons superseded blocking snapshots.

Tests and compatibility

• Added controlled-delay worker regression tests, including native storage-change notifications and windowless Firefox Android behavior.
• Existing rules, license and Legacy behavior, permissions, scheduled Focus, and telemetry privacy are preserved. This patch adds no new update welcome messages.

[5.3.1] - 2026-10-01

Fixed

• The Scheduled Focus heading is centered and matches the neighboring settings headers, including compact mobile sizing and RTL decoration.
• Opening Scheduled Focus from Popup expands the editor and scrolls to it; ordinary Options visits remain collapsed by default.
• Successful license activation collapses the Pro panel and returns focus to its toggle. Failed activation leaves the panel open, and interrupted animations cannot reopen it.

[5.3.0] - 2026-09-30

Added

• Pro and Legacy users can schedule one recurring normal Focus Session: days of the week, device-local start time, and a duration of 1–240 minutes.
• Options shows the schedule editor; Popup and Options show the next session and let users skip it without deleting the recurring schedule. All new controls are translated into 57 locales.
• Browser startup and worker wake restore the next alarm. A minute watchdog handles delayed or missing alarms. Late starts keep the original end time, and fully missed windows are skipped.

Changed

• Manual sessions take priority. A handled, stopped, or skipped occurrence is not started again after a worker restart. Scheduled sessions never enable Hardcore or Whitelist mode.
• Popup and Options update their active-session display when an automatic session starts or ends.
• The minor-release welcome page now introduces scheduled focus with warmer, user-focused messages and recalls safer backups and the User Guide.

Compatibility and privacy

• Scheduling is off by default. Existing rules, manual sessions, license data, and backup formats are preserved.
• Schedule settings stay in local browser storage and are excluded from rule backups. No permissions, network endpoints, or telemetry fields were added.
• Browser alarms cannot wake a sleeping device or a closed browser; OS suspension can delay execution. Nonexistent daylight-saving start times are skipped, and repeated times run only once.

[5.2.23] - 2026-09-28

Changed

• Rule exports now use a versioned, portable backup schema containing only supported rules, Rule Lists, the active profile, and compatible preferences.
• Imports validate the complete file and browser rule capacity before writing any state. Settings, local rules, Rule Lists, the selected profile, and browser blocking are committed together or restored to their previous values.
• Existing backup files remain compatible after their supported fields are normalized into the current schema.

Security

• Import accepts only allowlisted fields and strict value types. Unknown internal fields cannot enter extension storage.
• Password protection and password hashes are never exported or replaced by an import. License, account, telemetry, Debug Mode, statistics, Daily Limit usage, and Focus Session state are excluded as well.
• Malformed, unsupported, and oversized backup files fail before any extension state changes. No browser permissions or network requests were added.

[5.2.22] - 2026-09-27

Fixed

• Password protection now covers disabling rules in Popup and Options, muting categories, deleting Rule Lists, and importing a replacement rule set.
• Restoring a disabled rule or category remains immediately available without an unnecessary password prompt.
• Protected rule changes fail closed when security settings cannot be read, while Free cleanup remains available after paid access ends.

Privacy

• Password checks remain local to the browser profile. No passwords, rule contents, telemetry fields, network requests, or browser permissions were added.

[5.2.21] - 2026-09-27

Added

• Pro and Legacy users now receive one focused Pro tip on each returning day in Options, including existing users after their first Options visit on this version.
• Eight localized tips explain rule backup and transfer between browsers, blocking modes, Rule Lists, category pauses, rule protection, Focus Session, Rule Packs, and local statistics.
• Pro tips can be hidden permanently on the current browser.

Changed

• Missed days no longer skip Pro guidance: the sequence advances by one tip only when Options is revisited on a later day and resumes after paid access returns.

Privacy

• Pro guidance stores only its local sequence position and dismissal state. It adds no telemetry, network requests, browser permissions, or license API changes.

[5.2.20] - 2026-09-26

Added

• Added two clear third-day tips for path-specific blocking and temporarily disabling a rule without deleting it.

Fixed

• Starter guidance now names Strict Mode and Focus Session before explaining their behavior, so the descriptions cannot be mistaken for current default settings.

Privacy

• The three-day guidance window uses only the trusted installation date already stored on the device. No new storage, telemetry, network requests, or browser permissions were added.

[5.2.19] - 2026-09-24

Fixed

• Clarified the starter tip for redirects so it cannot be mistaken for a requirement on ordinary blocking rules.

Privacy

• This wording-only fix adds no telemetry, server data, or browser permissions.

[5.2.18] - 2026-09-23

Added

• Added direct User Guide links in Popup and Options, plus compact quick actions at the top of Options.
• New installations receive two concise setup tips on each of their first two days.

Privacy

• Starter tips use only the trusted installation date already stored on the device. No new telemetry, server data, or browser permissions were added.

[5.2.17] - 2026-09-20

Fixed

• Restored missing translations across the 57 locales for Options section headings, Focus Session sound settings, and several existing interface messages.
• Added a regression check so locale files cannot silently omit messages defined by the default English locale.

[5.2.16] - 2026-09-16

Fixed

• Active path rules are re-evaluated after same-document navigation, so supported single-page applications can block or redirect a newly opened distracting section without requiring a manual reload.
• Stale asynchronous checks cannot redirect a tab after it has already moved to a newer URL.

Privacy

• SPA checks reuse existing local rules and browser permissions. No URLs, rule contents, or new diagnostic fields are sent to the server.

[5.2.15] - 2026-09-15

Privacy

• Uninstall feedback opens without automatically attaching extension details.

[5.2.14] - 2026-09-11

Changed

• A dismissed feedback invitation may return up to two more times, with at least 21 days between invitations. Choosing review or support completes it permanently.

Fixed

• Optional technical diagnostics can now distinguish the background operation that failed without collecting URLs, rule contents, raw error messages, or stack traces.
• Rejected work in selected background event handlers is contained so it does not become an unhandled worker rejection.

[5.2.13] - 2026-09-11

Changed

• The popup now shows a quiet device-local Blocked Today count to make protection easier to confirm.
• Options combines related controls into five clearer sections and uses less space while collapsed on mobile.
• The automatic feedback prompt now waits for established use across multiple days and appears at most once.

Fixed

• Back to Main is now available to Free and Pro users at the top of Options, including Firefox for Android.
• Options now uses the device viewport for a more natural mobile layout.

[5.2.12] - 2026-09-10

Changed

• The blocked page now quietly explains whether an always-active rule, current schedule, reached daily limit, or Focus Session caused the block.

[5.2.11] - 2026-09-09

Fixed

• Updated Firefox license checks to use the current privacy-minimized server response while preserving compatibility with older releases.

[5.2.10] - 2026-09-08

Fixed

• Improved feedback when an entered Pro license key is not accepted.

[5.2.9] - 2026-09-08

Fixed

• Improved rule reliability after browser restarts on older Firefox versions.

[5.2.8] - 2026-09-07

Changed

• Simplified internal Pro license state handling without changing activation or access behavior.

[5.2.7] - 2026-09-07

Privacy

• Updated Firefox privacy declarations and consent handling for Pro license verification.
• Simplified the Firefox uninstall feedback flow.

Added

• Added regression coverage for license verification consent and Firefox compatibility.

[5.2.6] - 2026-09-04

Fixed

• The Popup now opens the packaged Options page directly in Microsoft Edge builds, bypassing the tracked Edge Android runtime.openOptionsPage() silent no-op.
• Chromium builds fall back to the packaged Options page if the native options API reports an error or throws.

Added

• Added regression coverage proving that Edge bypasses the broken native API while Chrome retains its established runtime.openOptionsPage() path.

[5.2.5] - 2026-09-04

Fixed

• Explicit non-web and browser-internal schemes are rejected for blacklist and whitelist targets instead of producing ineffective domain-anchored DNR filters.
• Whitelist Focus preserves local-file, data, FTP, and other non-web tabs when their URLs are visible to the browser extension.
• Redirect destinations now accept only complete HTTP or HTTPS URLs. Existing stored rules with unsupported redirect schemes fail closed to the packaged blocked page.
• Uppercase HTTP and HTTPS schemes are normalized consistently with lowercase pasted URLs.

Changed

• Existing stored targets with unsupported schemes remain visible and deletable, but are excluded from expected browser DNR rules and removed from stale browser DNR state during synchronization.
• Clarified the historical 3.9.5 changelog entry so it no longer implies that current DNR releases support local-file or data-URL blocking.

Added

• Added regression coverage for URL-scheme validation, legacy DNR reconciliation, context-menu input, uppercase HTTP(S) normalization, redirect fail-closed behavior, and windowless Whitelist Focus.

[5.2.4] - 2026-08-30

Added

• Optional technical analytics now records successful Rule List creation, actual active-list changes, Daily Limit creation or configuration changes, and mutations rejected because the Free rule limit was already reached.
• Added regression coverage for committed mutation outcomes, repeated Rule List activation, unchanged Daily Limit edits, the exact Free-limit boundary, rejected telemetry storage writes, strict client/server allowlists, aggregation, and windowless Firefox Android workers.

Changed

• Product setup counters are derived only from committed mutation results or the exact expected rule_limit_reached rejection. Creating the tenth Free rule does not increment free_rule_limit_reached.

Privacy

• Product setup telemetry remains disabled by default and cannot include Rule List names, URLs, Daily Limit minutes, schedules, or arbitrary configuration values. Schema v2 and its existing coarse context remain unchanged.

[5.2.3] - 2026-08-30

Added

• Optional technical analytics now records Rule Pack dialog opens, attempts for each of the eight fixed built-in packs, profile assignments added, duplicate entries skipped, whitelist conflicts, and imports that made no change.
• Added regression coverage for the fixed pack allowlist, authoritative import outcomes, duplicate-only imports, client sanitization, Options reporting, worker persistence, schema-v2 payloads, and windowless Firefox Android workers.

Changed

• Existing rule_pack_imported and rule_pack_rules_added counters keep their established semantics: an import is counted only when it changes stored rules, while rules added excludes profile-only assignment additions.

Privacy

• Rule Pack telemetry remains disabled by default and cannot include URLs, entry IDs, custom pack names, Rule List names, schedules, or arbitrary strings. Pack attempts are limited to the eight IDs compiled into the extension.

[5.2.2] - 2026-08-29

Fixed

• Rule target and redirect fields now disable autocorrection, automatic capitalization, and spell checking so mobile keyboards do not alter domains, paths, or partial patterns.

Changed

• Rule URL fields now request a URL-focused virtual keyboard while retaining type="text" semantics for entries such as bare domains, paths, and partial targets.

Added

• Added regression coverage for the shared input configuration and all six dynamic URL fields in the popup and Options.

[5.2.1] - 2026-08-26

Fixed

• Successful manual Pro activation now replaces a stale no-key or temporary verification result with a current successful diagnostic state.
• A failure to persist post-activation diagnostics cannot turn already committed Pro access into an activation error.

Changed

• Diagnostic reports now show the sanitized reason and error from the last license check without exposing URLs, email addresses, or license keys.

Added

• Added 3 regression scenarios for sanitized license details, stale-state replacement after activation, and non-fatal diagnostic storage failures in windowless workers.

[5.2.0] - 2026-08-26

Added

• Expanded Rule Packs from five to eight and the curated catalog from 33 to 57 entries.
• Added Messaging, Short-form Video, and Movies and TV packs; Social now includes Bluesky, Tumblr, and Quora, while Gaming includes Chess.com, Lichess, Poki, and CrazyGames.
• Added localized titles and descriptions for the three new packs in all 57 supported locales.
• Added regression coverage for catalog identity, authoritative target validation, intentional cross-pack overlap, path-scoped matching, and atomic Short-form Video imports.

Changed

• Short-form feeds and web messaging use focused paths for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, and Snapchat where the service exposes a stable web route, keeping unrelated pages available.
• Existing duplicate detection, whitelist conflict handling, shared schedules, DNR capacity preflight, Pro and genuine legacy authorization, active-profile isolation, and Firefox Android compatibility remain unchanged.

[5.1.24] - 2026-08-26

Security

• Missing or invalid installation metadata no longer grants legacy access by itself; genuine old partial credential records are canonicalized only from the trusted extension update lifecycle.
• Subscription and runtime activation payloads still cannot alter the stored installation date or legacy status.

Fixed

• Only the owned markdigital.cc domain and its subdomains remain protected. The unrelated markdigital.com domain and partial targets such as mark, digital, and markdigital can now be blocked normally.
• Manual license activation now takes priority over later startup, daily, or force-sync verification, preventing a valid candidate key from being rejected as superseded or causing a redundant old-key request.
• Update migration now persists a historical installation date and consistent legacy status for existing credentials that predate installation metadata, while modern and uninitialized records remain fail closed.
• DNR exclusions, existing-tab cleanup, Daily Limits, Whitelist Focus, active-profile isolation, genuine legacy access, Free deletion, the exact ten-rule limit, the unchanged one-minute watchdog, and Firefox Android workers without the windows API retain their intended behavior.

Added

• Added 6 regression scenarios for competitor-domain blocking, trusted credential migration, fail-closed uninitialized metadata, Daily Limit matching, and activation races against no-key and old-key maintenance syncs.
• Expanded lifecycle, DNR, tab cleanup, Whitelist Focus, and windowless worker coverage for the corrected domain and credential contracts.

[5.1.23] - 2026-08-25

Security

• Browser DNR rules, matching existing-tab cleanup, Daily Limit tracking, and Whitelist Focus now protect the exact Google authentication, YouTube account-service, project, and browser-store domains without trusting lookalike hosts or URL text.
• Direct rule-creation intents reject protected authentication hosts even when entered with paths or explicit ports, while useful partial targets such as yout, yo, goog, and block remain available.

Fixed

• Google sign-in popups are no longer redirected or closed by YouTube, Google, project-name, or custom-redirect rules; ordinary YouTube, mobile YouTube, Google, and unrelated matching websites remain blocked.
• Startup and the unchanged one-minute watchdog detect old browser DNR rules missing protected-domain exclusions, replace them atomically, and avoid repeated writes or tab scans after the one-time repair.
• Store-domain exclusions remain target-specific, preserving existing Edge protections for Bing and Microsoft without applying those restrictions to Chrome.
• Existing schedules, active-profile isolation, Focus authorization, genuine legacy access, Free deletion, the exact ten-rule limit, and workers without the optional windows API remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 20 regression scenarios for precise authentication and project domains, store-specific exclusions, partial-pattern preservation, direct host validation, spoofed lookalikes, custom redirects, DNR signatures and recovery, Daily Limits, existing tabs, Whitelist Focus, and windowless service workers.

[5.1.22] - 2026-08-25

Security

• Pro activation is now verified and committed authoritatively by the service worker; Options submits only the proposed license key, and paid access requires an explicit isPro: true response from the existing license endpoint.
• Direct runtime Pro-status mutations are rejected, and the obsolete credentials endpoint no longer exposes license keys or subscription email.
• Subscription activation and logout cannot overwrite the original installation date or genuine legacy-access state, even when caller or server payloads contain forged legacy fields.

Fixed

• Temporary HTTP, network, timeout, malformed-response, and storage failures preserve the existing subscription and active Rule List; authoritative 401/403 rejections and confirmed inactive candidates remain distinguishable without revoking another valid license.
• Overlapping verification, delayed credential reads, newer activations, and logout share the existing worker transition guards so stale responses cannot restore or replace newer access.
• Password-protected logout, genuine legacy access, Free rule deletion, the exact ten-rule limit, Focus/DNR recovery, and the unchanged one-minute watchdog remain intact.

Added

• Added 40 regression scenarios for forged runtime Pro and legacy claims, private credential responses, worker-owned activation, strict server approval, candidate validation, HTTP outcomes, retryable failures, timeout cleanup, storage failures, serialized activation/logout races, and windowless browser workers.

[5.1.21] - 2026-08-25

Changed

• Updated Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons descriptions in all 57 existing locales to highlight privacy-first website blocking, ten free rules, and account-free access.
• Clarified that Pro adds schedules, Daily Limits, password protection, and Focus controls without changing extension behavior or permissions.

Added

• Added store-description regression coverage for exact English and regional English copy, every existing locale, Free and Pro feature disclosure, platform targeting, and the 132-character manifest limit.

[5.1.20] - 2026-08-24

Security

• Direct worker rule-creation and editing intents can no longer introduce or modify paid schedule settings without Pro or genuine legacy access.
• Former-Pro users can still preserve an existing schedule while editing its target, remove paid scheduling, toggle or delete inherited rules, and clean preserved custom-list assignments without restoring paid feature access.

Fixed

• Schedules crossing midnight now remain active from their inclusive start through the next day's exclusive end, including Friday-to-Saturday, Sunday-to-Monday, weekday/weekend, month, and year boundaries.
• After midnight the active interval is associated with its selected start weekday instead of incorrectly requiring the following day to be selected.
• Schedule validation, editing, presets, display, Rule Packs, imports, and legacy single-period records accept valid overnight intervals while still rejecting identical start/end times, malformed times, and overlapping selected days.
• Startup and the unchanged one-minute watchdog restore missed overnight activation, close matching open tabs, and remove expired browser blocking after delayed mobile wake-ups without redundant DNR writes or repeated tab scans across midnight.
• A Daily Limit journal regression fixture now follows the current local date instead of silently expiring after its hard-coded calendar day.
• Free deletion, inherited-schedule cleanup, the exact ten-rule limit, active-profile isolation, disabled categories, Focus behavior, and windowless mobile worker compatibility remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 55 regression scenarios covering overnight validation and activation, weekday rollovers, exact interval boundaries, mixed periods, schedule UI/presets/formatting, Rule Packs/imports, browser DNR recovery, delayed and windowless mobile workers, paid authorization, former-Pro cleanup, and stable Daily Limit journal fixtures.

[5.1.19] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Focus Sessions whose one-shot completion alarm was missed during sleep, shutdown, or a delayed mobile worker wake-up are now completed from persisted state during startup or the unchanged one-minute watchdog.
• Valid future Focus Sessions restore a missing or stale completion alarm without ending early or rewriting an already correct alarm; both Promise and callback alarm APIs remain supported.
• Alarm, startup, watchdog, replacement-start, and stop transitions share the existing serialized worker state queue, so stale or simultaneous events cannot end a newer session or record completion twice.
• Expired sessions persist their inactive state before cleanup, while Daily Limit sampling, alarm cleanup, DNR synchronization, Statistics, diagnostics, telemetry, and notification failures are isolated from one another.
• Malformed active Focus state is cleared safely without recording a false successful session, and strict UI state reads no longer expose invalid, expired, or partially typed records as active.
• Recovery remains available to Free and former-Pro users, Free rule deletion and the exact ten-rule limit remain unchanged, and mobile workers still do not require the optional windows API.

Added

• Added 26 regression scenarios for missed and stale alarms, startup and minute recovery, callback alarm APIs, exact-boundary expiry, concurrent Focus transitions, failed storage and side effects, DNR repair, Free and legacy access, and windowless mobile workers.

[5.1.18] - 2026-08-22

Security

• Pro activation accepts only an explicit boolean subscription approval; malformed truthy server responses can no longer grant paid access, and overlapping submissions cannot race the worker-owned credentials transition.

Fixed

• Active Pro subscriptions, stored license keys, selected Rule Lists, context menus, and browser blocking survive ambiguous HTTP 400/404/408/409/422/429 responses, server errors, invalid JSON, and verification timeouts.
• Only authoritative HTTP 401/403 rejections or an explicitly verified inactive subscription remove Pro access; real expiration still safely restores General while preserving inactive profiles and browser DNR integrity.
• Daily uninstall metadata refresh, license verification, entitlement-aware context-menu updates, and telemetry delivery now fail independently instead of cancelling the remaining maintenance tasks.
• Genuine legacy installations keep their paid context menu after the daily license alarm without requiring a subscription key; serialized menu refreshes cannot overtake concurrent Pro logout.
• Pro activation now uses the existing ten-second verification timeout, preserves entered keys for retry, distinguishes temporary network/server/worker failures from rejected subscriptions, and always restores its submit button.
• Free rule deletion, the exact ten-rule limit, the existing one-minute watchdog, and Firefox Android workers without the unsupported windows API remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 42 regression scenarios for ambiguous and authoritative license responses, timeout recovery, malformed subscription contracts, preserved Pro profiles and DNR rules, resilient daily maintenance, legacy and Free context menus, overlapping logout, telemetry delivery after partial failures, duplicate activation prevention, and windowless Firefox Android workers.

[5.1.17] - 2026-08-22

Security

• Password-protected rule deletion, assignment removal, rule editing, bulk clearing, settings and Statistics resets, and Pro logout now fail closed if security settings cannot be read or verification cannot run.
• Popup reads current protection settings for each deletion, enforces passwords for both Pro and genuine legacy accounts, and never trusts a stale unprotected settings snapshot.

Fixed

• Free and former-Pro users can still delete existing rules, remove preserved custom-list assignments, and edit their remaining rules when unrelated settings fail to load or an old Pro password remains stored.
• Verified Pro logout now clears the stored password hash only after its worker-owned access transition succeeds; cancelled verification and failed transitions preserve existing credentials and protection.
• Blocked-page, redirect, Focus Session, and reset operations never overwrite saved Statistics totals or daily history after a failed storage read, initialization, normalization, or write.
• Later serialized Statistics events recover normally after temporary storage errors, while display-only reads retain their existing safe fallback without modifying saved history.
• The exact ten-rule Free limit, DNR integrity, unchanged one-minute watchdog, and Firefox Android compatibility without the unsupported windows API remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 39 regression scenarios for strict security reads, stale Popup settings, protected Pro and legacy deletion or editing, Free and former-Pro cleanup, password cancellation, guarded logout, failed bulk actions, Statistics read/write failures, queue recovery, and preserved browser blocking.

[5.1.16] - 2026-08-22

Changed

• The unchanged one-minute watchdog still evaluates schedules, Daily Limits, Rule Lists, browser DNR integrity, and host permissions, but no longer scans every open tab when active browser protection is already current.
• Startup, explicit rule mutations, Focus Sessions, repaired DNR drift, changed profiles or categories, and newly active scheduled or Daily Limit rules continue reconciling matching open tabs immediately.
• Serialized DNR requests preserve stronger explicit tab-reconciliation intent across overlapping passive watchdogs; superseded snapshots carry required cleanup forward without closing tabs for removed rules.
• Large rule imports now index exact targets and per-profile URL assignments, and blacklist conflict checks examine only relevant whitelist entries instead of rescanning every previously imported rule.
• Thousands of legitimate inactive-profile rules remain importable without an invented total-rule cap; browser-reported DNR limits still apply only to the actually active profile.

Fixed

• Invalid JSON roots and malformed imported rule entries now fail clearly before changing existing rules, Rule Lists, settings, or browser blocking.
• Existing whitelist conflict order, case-insensitive target matching, duplicate-profile rejection, exact ten-rule Free limit, Free deletion, one-minute recovery alarms, and Firefox Android workers without the Windows API remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 32 regression scenarios covering passive watchdog tab-scan suppression, schedule and Daily Limit activation, DNR drift repair, overlapping synchronization priorities, startup and Focus enforcement, indexed large imports, whitelist conflict precedence, malformed import rollback, active browser capacity, and windowless Firefox Android workers.

[5.1.15] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Daily Limit assignment moves, shared-target splits and merges, and Rule List deletion now atomically protect pending usage remaps in the same local write as their committed rules and profiles.
• Temporary Daily Limit read or write failures preserve accumulated seconds, active browser blocking, and source keys; existing startup events, rule intents, and the unchanged one-minute alarm recover pending remaps safely.
• Startup recovers pending usage before schema migration and cleanup; failed recovery defers destructive usage migration, projects pending usage onto its new assignment, and handles local-day rollover without resurrecting yesterday's time.
• Ordinary rules and Daily Limit assignments without elapsed time or an active sample skip unnecessary usage-journal writes, while batched profile deletion preserves its single atomic rule/profile commit.
• Pro and legacy Focus Sessions validate the complete prospective global dynamic and unsafe DNR budget before changing session state; Free Focus still evaluates only General, and Firefox remains compatible when browser limit constants are absent.
• Unexpected Focus DNR synchronization failures restore the previous session and completion alarm, reconcile browser protection, surface actionable errors in Popup, and still return their failure if diagnostics or analytics cannot be persisted.
• Identical DNR failures are deduplicated across non-persistent worker restarts using existing diagnostic state; changed errors, different expected rule counts, and failures after successful recovery remain visible.
• Existing Free deletion, assignment cleanup, toggling, the exact ten-rule General limit, the one-minute recovery alarm, and Firefox Android workers without the Windows API remain unchanged.

Added

• Added 41 regression scenarios covering atomic Daily Limit journaling, read/write recovery failures, 840-second preservation, target splits and merges, batched profile deletion, startup migration ordering, midnight rollover, write-free idle recovery, restarted worker deduplication, projected Focus capacity, Free/Pro/legacy access, exact session rollback, Popup error visibility, and failed reporting.

[5.1.14] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Rule additions, edits, Rule Packs, imports, profile activation, and category reactivation now validate browser-reported dynamic and unsafe redirect-rule limits before changing stored state or browser protection.
• Only currently active blacklist redirects consume browser DNR capacity; inactive Rule Lists, disabled categories, disabled rules, and whitelist entries never consume the active budget.
• Basic Free deletion, assignment cleanup, and disabling remain available at the browser rule limit, while the existing ten-rule General limit and preserved former-Pro profiles remain unchanged.
• Oversized imports preserve current rules, Rule Lists, selected profiles, and settings; local rule/profile state is committed before optional sync settings, and failed settings imports produce a clear partial-success warning without disabling imported blocking.
• Daily Limit usage-remapping failures after committed rule edits or profile deletion no longer disguise those mutations as failures or prevent browser DNR reconciliation.
• DNR quota failures preserve existing browser protection, receive actionable telemetry fingerprints, and identical retries no longer rewrite diagnostics or telemetry every minute; the existing one-minute recovery alarm is unchanged.
• Chromium, Edge, and mobile browsers remain compatible with missing optional DNR limit constants without requiring the optional Windows API.

Added

• Diagnostic reports now show active unsafe redirect counts, browser-reported dynamic/unsafe rule limits, and whether the active profile exceeds browser capacity.
• Added 35 regression scenarios covering browser quota detection, safe and unsafe action budgets, inactive profiles, Free deletion and replacement, protected imports, post-commit remap failures, deduplicated failure writes, detailed diagnostics, and workers without the Windows API.

[5.1.13] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Committed rule additions, deletions, toggles, and other mutations remain successful when post-commit Daily Limit cleanup, sampling, or analytics persistence fails; failed mutations still return their original safe error even if diagnostics and telemetry cannot be saved.
• Browser startup always restores local extension state, repairs former Pro access to General, checks host permissions, samples Daily Limits, and reconciles browser DNR rules; the twelve-hour throttle now applies only to remote license verification.
• Telemetry retry-restoration failures no longer prevent startup recovery, and the existing one-minute scheduled recovery alarm is unchanged.
• Genuine legacy installations retain paid Settings controls, password protection, import/export, bulk actions, browser context-menu blocking, and visible Popup/Options features without requiring an active Pro subscription.
• Credential storage failures fail closed for Pro and legacy authorization and cannot overwrite an existing subscription; normal Free rule toggling and deletion remain available even while sync storage is inaccessible.
• Access snapshots and repeated downgrade checks preserve a concurrently restored legacy entitlement instead of forcing its custom Rule List back to General.

Added

• Added 21 regression scenarios for post-commit fault injection, resilient error responses, throttled startup recovery, stale DNR rules, telemetry retry restoration, fail-closed credentials, always-Free cleanup, legacy feature access, and Firefox Android workers without the windows API.

[5.1.12] - 2026-08-22

Changed

• Idle Daily Limit samples and unchanged assignment cleanup no longer rewrite local storage while preserving active-segment persistence, local-day rollover, and the existing one-minute recovery alarm.
• Scheduled host-permission checks still run every minute but persist unchanged diagnostics at most once every 15 minutes; permission transitions and explicit checks remain immediate.
• Deleting a Rule List remaps only Daily Limit assignments and batches their usage changes into one local-storage write.
• Telemetry no longer rewrites a full daily bucket when a new error fingerprint is discarded at its configured cap.

Fixed

• Rule storage callbacks now surface read failures and storage-quota errors instead of reporting an unsuccessful mutation as saved.

Added

• Added write-budget, batch-remapping, quota-failure, permission watchdog, telemetry-cap, and windowless-mobile-worker regression coverage.

[5.1.11] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Pro status updates and Focus start, stop, and completion now share one serialized state-transition queue, preventing a delayed paid Focus start from completing after a downgrade and preventing a concurrent downgrade from superseding a newer Stop request.
• Whitelist Focus tab cleanup now stops when a newer Focus transition wins, and single-tab enforcement rechecks both the current session and current whitelist rules immediately before closing a tab.
• Pro and legacy authorization decisions now come from one credential snapshot, avoiding mixed access results when credentials change between asynchronous storage reads.
• Blocking and Whitelist Focus cleanup now preserve every affected desktop browser window independently instead of protecting only the final tab across all windows.
• Browsers without the optional Windows API use an unscoped safety tab, preserving mobile compatibility without accessing chrome.windows.

Added

• Added deterministic worker race coverage for delayed paid Focus startup, overlapping downgrade and Stop requests, stale initial Whitelist cleanup, and stale per-tab enforcement.
• Added tab-cleanup coverage for per-window safety, superseded Whitelist scans, and windowless mobile fallback behavior.

[5.1.10] - 2026-08-22

Fixed

• Whitelist Focus now matches complete domain boundaries and real path descendants while preserving intentional short hostname patterns, closing lookalike-domain and query-string bypasses.
• Protected project, Chrome Web Store, and Microsoft Edge resources are identified by their actual hostnames, preventing unrelated sites from escaping Whitelist Focus through crafted paths, queries, fragments, or lookalike domains.
• Free Focus activates only blacklist rules assigned to General, ignoring preserved custom Rule Lists even when a stale custom profile remains selected in storage.
• Losing Pro access during Hardcore or Whitelist Focus now restores the existing session to a stoppable standard blacklist session while preserving its original deadline and all stored rules.
• Active Focus browser rules are resynchronized immediately after a Pro downgrade even when General was already the selected Rule List.
• Focus requests are validated and authorized in the service worker: Free retains the normal 25-minute session, while custom durations, Hardcore, and Whitelist require Pro or legacy access.
• Chromium and Edge background startup no longer assumes the optional chrome.windows API exists, preserving Daily Limit window-focus handling when the browser provides it.

Added

• Added worker, DNR, tab-cleanup, protected-URL, and whitelist regression coverage for Free, Pro, and legacy Focus behavior, downgrade recovery, malformed requests, stale profiles, and URL bypass attempts.
• Added explicit worker startup coverage without the optional windows API.
• Release checks now verify manifest, package, changelog, README, and optional visible version metadata stay synchronized.

[5.1.9] - 2026-08-22

Privacy

• Technical analytics now stops immediately when consent is withdrawn or the Firefox technical data-collection permission is removed, aborting in-flight requests and preventing stale delivery state or retry alarms from being recreated.

Fixed

• Older license-verification responses can no longer restore a signed-out key, delete a newly activated key, or override the latest verification result.
• Pro activation and logout now use one serialized worker-owned access transition, keeping the context menu and active Rule List consistent when downgrade and upgrade overlap.
• New installations always receive an installation date before Pro access is checked, preventing accidental legacy access from uninitialized credentials.
• Concurrent blocked-page, redirect, Focus Session, and reset operations no longer overwrite aggregate Statistics or daily history counters.
• Focus Session start, stop, and completion operations are serialized, and alarms are bound to their original session deadline so a stale alarm cannot end or count a newer session.
• Daily Limit state normalization and reads now share the same mutation queue as usage samples, preventing stale snapshots from erasing newly recorded usage.
• Superseded DNR synchronization snapshots can no longer close tabs after their blocking rule was changed or removed.

Added

• Added regression coverage for telemetry opt-out races, stale license responses, overlapping Pro transitions, first-install access checks, concurrent Statistics updates, stale Focus alarms, Daily Limit normalization races, and DNR tab-cleanup invalidation.
• Firefox service-worker race tests explicitly run without the unsupported windows API to protect Firefox Android.

[5.1.8] - 2026-08-21

Fixed

• Former Pro users now automatically return to the built-in General Rule List when paid access ends, while existing custom profiles and their rules remain safely stored.
• Extension updates repair Free installations that were already stranded on an inaccessible custom Rule List.
• The ten-rule Free quota now counts only blacklist targets assigned to General, ignoring preserved custom-profile rules and inherited whitelist entries.
• Options and Popup resolve Free views and new rules to General immediately, even if a stale custom profile is still present in storage.
• DNR rules are resynchronized after access recovery so only the General profile remains active, and inherited General rules remain available for deletion.
• Adding or editing a General assignment on an existing custom-only target can no longer bypass the Free rule limit.

Added

• Added regression coverage for Pro-to-Free recovery, preserved Rule Lists, quota enforcement, inherited whitelist entries, Options and Popup entry points, and DNR integrity.
• Documented the native npm run test:coverage command for repository-wide test coverage checks.

[5.1.7] - 2026-08-21

Changed

• Rule deletion telemetry now counts Rule List assignment removal as a successful deletion, including the normal Delete flow used by Free users.
• Unexpected pro_required rejections from always-Free delete, assignment-removal, and toggle operations are now reported as reliability errors while legitimate Pro-only rejections remain excluded.

Added

• Added regression coverage for Free rule toggling, deleting a rule at the Free limit before adding a replacement, and both client-to-worker deletion routes.
• Added service-worker coverage for deleting existing General rules and removing leftover custom Rule List assignments after Pro access is lost.

[5.1.6] - 2026-08-20

Fixed

• Restored rule deletion for Free users after the Rule Lists migration accidentally routed normal blacklist deletion through a Pro-only assignment-removal gate.
• Free users can again remove their existing General rules and clean up assignments left in custom Rule Lists without requiring a Pro license.

[5.1.5] - 2026-08-19

Changed

• Statistics charts now show a readable numeric Y-axis so daily bar heights have an explicit event-count scale.
• The chart legends now show totals for the selected 7-day or 30-day range, and each chart exposes exact daily values on hover, tap, or keyboard focus.
• Daily chart navigation supports Left/Right, Home, and End keys while keeping the latest day selected by default.

Fixed

• Fixed Daily Limit sampling using inconsistent wall-clock and event timestamps, which could reset the active segment around local-day boundaries and made fixed-time regression tests depend on the current date.

[5.1.4] - 2026-08-19

Fixed

• Daily Limit accounting now closes the previous active segment at tab navigation and activation boundaries, so time already spent on the previous page is not lost when the next document is still loading or cannot be probed yet.
• Active Daily Limit tracking is restarted when the new tab document finishes loading, reducing the undercount caused by visibility probes that run too early during navigation.
• Concurrent Daily Limit samples are now serialized without coalescing away navigation events, preserving their original timestamps and tab context.
• Daily Limits now schedule a one-shot deadline alarm from the remaining daily budget, reducing the delay between the configured limit and DNR blocking while retaining the existing minute alarm as a recovery safety net.
• Desktop window focus loss now closes the active Daily Limit segment instead of allowing foreground accounting to continue while the browser is unfocused.

[5.1.2] - 2026-08-18

Fixed

• Fixed the Open Privacy Settings button on the update page failing to open Options in Microsoft Edge for Android.
• The Edge build now opens the packaged Options page directly, while Chrome keeps the native options-page API with a direct-tab fallback when it is unavailable or reports an error.

[5.1.1] - 2026-08-18

Fixed

• Fixed 30-day Statistics date labels being clipped because labels were rendered inside narrow daily chart columns.
• The 30-day axis now shows the month on the first visible label and when the month changes, while intermediate labels show only the day number for a compact mobile-friendly timeline.

[5.1.0] - 2026-08-18

Added

• Added device-local daily Statistics history for the latest 30 calendar days, storing only aggregate counts for blocks, redirects, and completed Focus Sessions.
• Added responsive 7-day and 30-day charts inside the collapsed Statistics section without external chart libraries, remote code, or new permissions.

Changed

• Existing Blocked Today and Redirects Today counters seed the current day's history when upgrading from 5.0.x, while unavailable historical activity is left empty rather than reconstructed.
• Statistics cleanup now prunes entries older than 30 local calendar days automatically, and Clear Statistics removes the retained daily history together with the existing counters.

Privacy

• Daily Statistics history remains entirely in extension local storage and contains no URLs, domains, browsing history, rule addresses, redirect destinations, account identifiers, or telemetry identifiers.

[5.0.1] - 2026-08-18

Changed

• Statistics in Options is now collapsed by default, matching the other large settings sections and leaving room for future statistics visualizations.

Fixed

• Whitelist rules no longer apply the blacklist-only protected-resource restriction, so allowed patterns such as markdigital can be added without the misleading "This resource cannot be blocked" validation error.

[5.0.0] - 2026-08-18

Added

• Added Pro Daily Limits, allowing a matching site until the active profile's daily usage budget is exhausted and then blocking it through the existing DNR engine.
• Added explicit Always, Schedule, and Daily limit assignment modes. Schedule and Daily limit are mutually exclusive within one profile assignment.
• Added device-local Daily Limit usage state with automatic reset on the local calendar day.
• Added translated Rule List profile and Daily Limit interface strings across all supported locales.

Changed

• Reworked Rule Lists into mutually exclusive profiles. Exactly one Rule List is active during normal blocking, with General as the default profile.
• Stored URL, redirect, and category once per target while allowing profiles to share an exact target or keep distinct target variants when redirect or category differs.
• Scoped Category Blocking state and category counts to the active Rule List profile.
• Simplified Options so Rule List cards are the profile selector and the rules table always represents the active profile without a redundant List column.
• Rule Packs and manually added rules now create assignments in the active profile, while matching existing targets receive an additional profile assignment instead of a duplicate target.
• Editing or removing a rule in Options affects only the active profile assignment when the target is shared with other profiles.
• Deleting a custom profile preserves targets used only there by moving their removed assignment configuration to General.
• Preserved Focus Session as a global override above profile, category, Schedule, and Daily Limit state.
• Migrated legacy listId, RC multi-membership listIds, root enabled state and blocking configuration, profile state, and Daily Limit usage into the canonical profile-assignment model.
• Migrated legacy global disabled categories into the General profile.
• Limited Rule Lists to seven profiles total, including General, while preserving any already stored test data instead of silently truncating it.

Improved

• Daily Limit usage is assignment-scoped so the same target can keep independent budgets in different profiles.
• Daily Limit foreground accounting verifies that the matching page is visible through the Page Visibility API before charging usage.
• Daily Limit matching now follows BlockDistraction's flexible DNR-style rule semantics, including partial domain-label rules such as yout and path-prefix rules.
• Long browser sleep or background gaps are never charged when foreground continuity cannot be proven.
• Reused the existing one-minute alarm and DNR self-healing flow without adding interval timers, offscreen documents, or persistent content-script timers.
• Preserved Daily Limit configuration in rule import/export while keeping accumulated usage device-local and out of exported data.
• Added regression coverage for profile activation, profile-scoped categories, assignment migration, independent schedules and limits, flexible URL matching, DNR activation, mutation security, localization, and import/export compatibility.
• Distinguished release-candidate builds in the existing telemetry version dimension during pre-release testing without changing the schema-v2 wire contract; production reports use 5.0.0.

Fixed

• Fixed the compatibility migration alert appearing late or repeatedly after internal Daily Limit state cleanup; it now applies only to actual rule/profile migrations during an extension update and is claimed once per version.
• Expected user-input and business-rule rejections now use non-error logging and informational diagnostics instead of console.error, so invalid names, redirects, duplicates, limits, and similar handled cases do not appear as browser extension failures.
• Prevented an empty Rule List name click from sending a rejected mutation intent at all; the Options page now handles it locally.
• Fixed adding the same block URL with a different redirect or category to another profile silently reusing the old target and discarding the newly entered target fields.
• Editing URL, redirect, or category on one assignment of a shared target now splits or merges the target as needed instead of rewriting target fields for every profile, while preserving assignment-scoped Daily Limit usage.
• Daily Limit progress now refreshes in open Options and Popup views when local usage changes and shows sub-minute progress instead of remaining visually at zero until the next whole minute.
• Focus Session now emits one deterministic DNR rule when different profiles contain target variants for the same block URL, preferring the active profile's target.
• Import and Rule List deletion now preserve the one-target-per-block-URL-per-profile invariant when target variants exist.
• Fixed enabling or disabling a shared target in one Rule List changing its state in every other profile.
• Fixed an exhausted Daily Limit assignment becoming unblocked when the same target was disabled in another profile.
• Fixed Daily Limits staying at zero on Chromium Android when desktop-style window focus APIs reported the browser as unfocused.
• Fixed Daily Limit URL attribution using stricter hostname matching than the extension's actual DNR rules.
• Fixed Rule Pack and manual additions ignoring the selected Rule List context in earlier 5.0.0 candidates.
• Fixed localized input placeholders, including the Rule List name placeholder, not being applied from data-i18n-placeholder.
• Removed a redundant Rule List storage write when creating a custom list.

[4.9.0] - 2026-08-15

Added

• Added Pro Rule Lists for organizing blocking rules into named lists such as Work or Study.
• Added per-rule list assignment, whole-list pause/resume controls, list filtering, and Rule List management in Options.
• Added device-local Rule List import/export and automatic migration of existing rules to the built-in General list.
• Added Rule List interface strings across all supported locales.

Improved

• Integrated disabled Rule Lists with the existing DNR self-healing flow without changing the one-minute scheduling alarm.
• Deleting a custom Rule List now safely moves its rules to General instead of deleting them.
• Popup rule rows now identify custom Rule Lists and reflect paused-list state.
• Added regression coverage for Rule List storage, migration, mutation intents, DNR activation, UI behavior, import/export contracts, and localization.

[4.8.7] - 2026-08-13

Fixed

• Stopped transient license verification failures such as network errors, timeouts, rate limits, server errors, and invalid transient responses from being counted as extension reliability errors in opt-in telemetry.

Improved

• Kept transient license verification failures in local diagnostics for troubleshooting while reserving remote reliability errors for unexpected extension failures.
• Added regression coverage for license reliability-error classification.

[4.8.6] - 2026-08-13

Fixed

• Fixed password-protected rule deletion in Strict Mode asking for the password a second time after the countdown.
• Prevented the Strict Mode confirmation click from re-entering the original delete handler and starting a second deletion flow.

Improved

• Added regression coverage for the Strict Mode delete confirmation state.

[4.8.5] - 2026-08-13

Fixed

• Stopped expected rule validation and business-rule rejections from being counted as reliability errors in opt-in telemetry.
• Kept unexpected rule mutation failures, stale-state failures, DNR/runtime failures, and unknown rule intent failures visible to reliability telemetry.

Improved

• Added regression coverage separating expected user-facing rule rejections from unexpected rule failures.
• Documented that validation failures such as invalid redirects, schedules, conflicts, duplicates, limits, and invalid imports are excluded from reliability error metrics.

[4.8.4] - 2026-08-13

Fixed

• Made telemetry delivery idempotent by assigning a retry-stable random ID to each prepared delivery snapshot, preventing a lost server response from counting the same schema-v2 batch twice.
• Preserved same-day telemetry recorded while a request is in flight by acknowledging only the prepared snapshot and assigning a fresh delivery ID to any remaining events.

Improved

• Upgraded the telemetry wire contract to schema version 2 with ephemeral per-delivery UUIDs that are not installation identifiers and disappear with the acknowledged local snapshot.
• Added regression coverage for stable retry IDs, stale acknowledgements, schema-v2 payloads, and concurrent same-day telemetry.

[4.8.3] - 2026-08-11

Improved

• Extended opt-in technical telemetry with aggregated counters for feedback prompt displays, review clicks, support clicks, and dismissals.
• Routed popup feedback counters through the service worker and the existing strict telemetry allowlist, while keeping telemetry disabled by default and schema version 1 unchanged.
• Added regression coverage for feedback counter reporting, allowlist rejection, Chromium callback error handling, and service-worker aggregation.

[4.8.2] - 2026-08-10

Changed

• Replaced the old positive/negative review gate with one neutral feedback prompt in the popup that offers the store review page and support side by side.
• Moved automatic feedback prompting out of the Options page so regular popup users can actually see it.
• Show the prompt only after at least seven days and meaningful local use: two saved rules, five handled blocks/redirects, or one completed Focus Session.
• Limit automatic feedback prompting to two displays per installation, with a fourteen-day snooze after the first display.
• Preserve completed legacy feedback state so users who already responded are not prompted again after the migration.
• Store new feedback prompt state locally instead of synchronizing it across browser installations.

Improved

• Added a Chrome-first store target adapter for review links, update-page links, and store-specific protected URLs.
• Scoped Microsoft/Bing URL protection to Edge instead of applying those restrictions to the Chrome build as well.
• Added separate CWS and Microsoft Edge Add-ons build targets without creating separate source trees.
• Updated GitHub Actions to build and upload two store artifacts from the same tested commit.
• Added regression tests for feedback eligibility, snoozing, legacy migration, store routing, and Edge-only URL restrictions.

[4.8.1] - 2026-08-10

Fixed

• Preserved the specific controlled rule failure code in technical telemetry instead of collapsing every rejected rule mutation into intent_failed.
• Persisted telemetry bucket context when a UTC-day bucket is first created so queued events keep the version, browser, access tier, locale, platform, OS, and installation-age context from collection time.
• Physically removed telemetry buckets older than the documented seven-day local retention window when the queue is inspected.
• Added a real one-shot telemetry retry alarm so exponential delivery backoff is no longer dependent on the next daily maintenance wake-up.
• Prevented successful delivery acknowledgements from deleting new same-day telemetry events that were recorded while a request was in flight.

Improved

• Kept the wire protocol unchanged by grouping pending buckets by their captured context and sending separate compatible batches when necessary.
• Added delivery retry details to the privacy-safe Diagnostic Report.
• Added regression tests for rule error classification, context preservation, persisted retention cleanup, context-grouped delivery, and retry scheduling.

[4.8.0] - 2026-08-07

Added

• Added opt-in privacy-preserving technical analytics for the Chromium build, disabled by default.
• Added daily aggregated feature-use counters and a seven-day local telemetry queue.
• Added privacy-safe error fingerprints for DNR, permission, license, rule, Focus Session, service worker, popup, and Options failures.
• Added a versioned POST /api/telemetry client contract with batch delivery, timeout handling, retention, and exponential backoff.
• Added a localized Privacy & Technical Data section to every supported locale.
• Added telemetry delivery state to the privacy-safe Diagnostic Report.

Privacy

• No browsing history, blocked website addresses, rule addresses, redirect URLs, email, license key, passwords, raw error messages, stack traces, or persistent telemetry identifier are collected by the telemetry client.
• No telemetry data is stored before explicit consent. Disabling telemetry clears all pending telemetry buckets and delivery state immediately.

Improved

• Added coarse page-level reporting for uncaught errors and unhandled promise rejections without transmitting messages, filenames, URLs, or stack traces.
• Reused the existing daily license alarm for telemetry delivery instead of adding another recurring wake-up.
• Added dependency-free tests for consent, data minimization, aggregation, retention, delivery backoff, UI behavior, localization, and the telemetry request contract.

[4.7.1] - 2026-08-07

Fixed

• Fixed Illegal invocation when clearing diagnostic history by preserving the native confirmation function context.
• Restored reliable detection of revoked host permissions without bringing back per-tab activation checks.

[4.7.0] - 2026-08-06

Added

• Added a Pro Diagnostic Report to the Options page with generate, copy, JSON export, and history clearing actions.
• Added a capped local buffer for structured diagnostic events collected only while Debug Mode is enabled.
• Added live report data for extension and browser versions, access state, settings, rule counts, DNR integrity, host permissions, Focus Session, and license verification.

Improved

• Redacted URLs, domains, email addresses, license keys, tokens, passwords, and other sensitive values before diagnostic data is stored or exported.
• Added DNR inspection without modifying browser rules and recorded only meaningful DNR changes or failures.
• Stopped checking host permissions on every tab activation and kept checks on install, update, startup, and permission removal events.
• Added localized Diagnostics interface strings for every supported locale.
• Added dependency-free tests for privacy filtering, event buffering, report formatting, UI actions, and DNR inspection.

[4.6.1] - 2026-08-06

Fixed

• Opened the shared Rule Pack schedule editor above the existing Rule Packs modal instead of behind it.
• Closed and removed an unfinished nested schedule editor when the Rule Packs dialog is cancelled or closed.
• Applied the default weekday schedule when scheduling is enabled without opening the editor, preventing newly imported rules from receiving null schedules.
• Kept Escape scoped to the nested schedule editor before allowing it to close the Rule Packs dialog.
• Added regression tests for nested modal hosting, cleanup, and default shared schedule retrieval.

[4.6.0] - 2026-08-06

Added

• Added an optional shared schedule to the Rule Packs import dialog.
• Reused the advanced schedule editor so selected pack rules can receive weekday, weekend, or custom time groups before import.

Improved

• Normalized and validated the shared schedule inside the service worker before changing stored rules.
• Applied one independently cloned schedule to every newly added pack rule with one storage write and one DNR synchronization.
• Kept duplicate and whitelist-conflicting rules unchanged while preserving detailed import reports.
• Added dependency-free tests for UI payloads, client messaging, schedule normalization, validation, and atomic imports.

[4.5.2] - 2026-08-06

Improved

• Replaced the compact Rule Pack result sentence with a clear three-part import report.
• Listed the exact addresses that were added, already existed, or were skipped because of whitelist conflicts.
• Preserved the existing result counters while adding structured added and duplicate entry details from the service worker.
• Added localized report labels and dependency-free regression tests for detailed and count-only responses.

[4.5.1] - 2026-08-06

Improved

• Translated the complete Rule Packs interface into every supported locale.
• Preserved Rule Pack result placeholders consistently across all translations.
• Added dependency-free localization tests that detect missing keys, placeholder mismatches, and accidental English fallbacks.

[4.5.0] - 2026-08-06

Added

• Added local Pro Rule Packs for social media, video and streaming, news, shopping, and gaming.
• Added a preview dialog where users can inspect every address and select only the rules they want.
• Added the atomic rules:addMany worker intent for adding a complete selection with one storage write and one DNR synchronization.

Improved

• Kept Rule Pack definitions inside the extension with no remote list updates or automatic additions.
• Skipped exact duplicates and whitelist conflicts without modifying existing rules.
• Added dependency-free tests for pack integrity, selection validation, atomic additions, duplicates, conflicts, access control, client messaging, and intent routing.

[4.4.1] - 2026-08-06

Fixed

• Kept every category blocking control visible after disabling a category, including categories with no currently counted rules.
• Preserved all category rules in the Options table while displaying disabled categories as inactive and non-interactive.
• Repositioned the schedule time-group removal button so it no longer overlaps the Saturday checkbox on desktop or mobile.

[4.4.0] - 2026-08-05

Added

• Added advanced Pro schedules with separate time groups for different days of the week.
• Added quick schedule presets for every day, weekdays, and weekends.
• Added a dedicated schedule editor that keeps long rule rows compact while supporting multiple day and time groups.

Improved

• Kept all existing single-period schedules fully compatible without a bulk migration.
• Updated schedule summaries in the Options page and popup to display multiple time groups clearly.
• Added dependency-free tests for schedule normalization, validation, presets, formatting, and activation.

[4.3.3] - 2026-08-05

Fixed

• Fixed category blocking controls on the Options page toggling twice and immediately restoring their previous state.
• Restored the ability for Pro and legacy users to disable or re-enable all rules in an individual category.
• Replaced manual card click forwarding with native label behavior to keep checkbox interaction reliable and accessible.

[4.3.2] - 2026-08-05

Improved

• Added a stronger divider after every ten visible rules on the Options page to make long and filtered lists easier to scan.
• Separated the redirect column label, optional placeholder, and full-URL guidance into dedicated localized messages.
• Added a touch-device hint explaining how to block a copied link when a mobile browser does not provide an extension context menu.
• Clarified redirect validation by reminding users to enter a complete URL including https:// or leave the field empty for normal blocking.

[4.3.1] - 2026-08-04

Improved

• Reduced RulesManager to current rule storage, validation, duplicate detection, and conflict checks.
• Moved legacy rule migrations into a dedicated service with explicit storage dependencies.
• Moved rule activation decisions and DNR rule construction into isolated, testable modules without changing matching or schedule behavior.
• Moved rule intent routing out of the service worker into a small tested command router.
• Added a dependency-free npm run check command for tests, syntax checks, JSON validation, manifest references, version consistency, and referenced English localization keys.
• Expanded the permanent test suite to cover migration safety, rule activation, DNR construction, intent routing, validation semantics, and service-worker module loading.

Fixed

• Protected existing local rules from being overwritten by stale synchronized rules when the migration flag is missing.
• Ensured migrated rules and the device migration flag are written together when copying legacy synchronized rules.
• Kept failed storage migrations retryable by not marking them as completed.

[4.3.0] - 2026-08-04

Improved

• Centralized all rule mutations from the popup, Options page, imports, bulk clearing, and context menu in the service worker.
• Serialized rule changes so simultaneous actions cannot overwrite one another or reuse the same rule ID.
• Enforced rule limits and protected rule-management actions inside the service worker, not only in the user interface.
• Switched editing, toggling, and deletion from list indexes to stable rule IDs, including filtered Options views.
• Separated rule commands from completed rules:changed notifications for clearer and more reliable UI updates.
• Made imports validate the complete replacement set before changing stored rules, without an intermediate empty state.
• Kept DNR synchronization recoverable: stored rules remain authoritative if a temporary browser DNR update fails.
• Added unit coverage for concurrent mutations, stable-ID operations, validation key arrays, safe replacement, free limits, and complete DNR clearing.

Fixed

• Prevented popup, Options, and context-menu actions performed close together from losing previously saved changes.
• Preserved the complete array of validation localization keys when errors cross the service-worker messaging boundary.
• Ensured clearing all rules passes the full dynamic rule ID list together with an explicit empty addRules array.

[4.2.7] - 2026-08-04

Improved

• Replaced full DNR rule rebuilds with content-aware synchronization that updates only added, removed, or changed rules.
• Preserved stable rule IDs while atomically replacing edited DNR rules whose conditions or actions changed.
• Serialized overlapping DNR synchronization requests to prevent older runs from overwriting newer rule state.
• Extracted DNR synchronization into a dedicated module with dependency injection for isolated testing.
• Added permanent unit tests for DNR diffing, stable-ID replacement, integrity recovery, and overlapping sync requests.

Fixed

• Updated DNR integrity validation to compare the browser rules with the actual active rule set, excluding disabled, inactive scheduled, category-disabled, and whitelist rules.
• Removed an obsolete migration call to the deleted syncDnrRules method.

[4.2.6] - 2026-08-04

Fixed

• Fixed password protection being disabled when importing an export without password credentials.
• Cancelling password setup now closes the modal without invoking the setup callback; verification cancellation still resolves as false.
• Preserved the current Pro status during temporary license verification failures, including rate limits, server errors, timeouts, network errors, and invalid JSON responses.
• Added a timeout to background license verification requests.
• Resolved pending password confirmation promises when the modal is cancelled or closed with Escape.
• Corrected Focus Session timers for durations of one hour or longer.
• Reloaded popup rules after a failed deletion instead of removing the rule from the interface.
• Removed duplicate extension initialization during install and update events.
• Limited Focus Whitelist checks on tab updates to actual URL changes.
• Corrected the localization key for the Category table header.
• Excluded password protection fields from exported settings and preserved the current password state during import.

[4.2.5] - 2026-08-01

Improved

• Refactored and reorganized styles for better maintainability.
• Removed conflicting CSS rules.

[4.2.4] - 2026-07-26

Improved

• Improved the appearance of the Focus Session mode selector in the popup.

[4.2.3] - 2026-07-23

Changed

• After installation, the extension now opens the Settings page instead of the website.

[4.2.2] - 2026-07-21

Added

• Completed full internationalization (i18n) coverage across all supported locales.
• Added title attributes to whitelist rules in the popup UI for better tooltip visibility and user experience.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue on the Options page where the "Add Whitelist Rule" button was not hidden during an active Focus Session.
• Fixed whitelist rules displaying unlocalized text in the schedule column on the Options page (now correctly shows localized "Allow" status).

[4.2.1] - 2026-07-20

Fixed

• DNR Rule Synchronization: Fixed an issue where editing existing rules (modifying domains, redirect URLs, or toggle states) updated storage and UI but failed to take effect in the browser's network engine. Rule updates are now applied atomically and reflect immediately.

[4.2.0] – 2026-07-20

Added

• Whitelist Focus Mode for Pro Users: Added a new focus mode option ("Allow Whitelist Only"). During an active session in this mode, all open and newly created tabs are restricted exclusively to sites listed in your Whitelist.

Improved

• Safe Batch Tab Enforcement: Integrated a background tab closure routine (closeNonWhitelistedTabs) that automatically clears non-whitelisted sites upon starting a Whitelist focus session, while intelligently preserving internal browser pages, extension settings, and preventing accidental browser window termination.
• Dynamic Focus Session Controls: Added a mode selector dropdown in the popup UI, which dynamically unlocks and configures Whitelist focus features.

[4.1.2] - 2026-07-19

Changed

• UI Accessibility: Enhanced the visual contrast of action buttons and list items within the Whitelist (Allow-rules) interface to ensure better text readability and a more accessible user experience.

[4.1.1] - 2026-07-19

Fixed

• Rule Update Crash: Fixed a bug that prevented existing rules (both Allow-rules and Block-rules) from being updated due to a variable name typo.
• Self-Conflict Validation: Resolved a logic issue where editing non-URL fields of a rule (such as schedule or category) would incorrectly trigger a false positive validation conflict against itself.

[4.1.0] – 2026-07-19

Added

• Whitelist Feature ("Allow-rules"): Added support for Pro-version exclusion rules, which take priority over blocking and are mutually exclusive with the blacklist.
• Smart Cross-Conflict Validation: Overhauled the checkConflict algorithm in RulesManager.

[4.0.1] – 2026-07-15

Improved

• Scheduled rules now display their blocking schedule in the popup instead of a checkmark.

[4.0.0] – 2026-07-14

🚨 BREAKING CHANGES

• Storage Migration: Rules database has been migrated from chrome.storage.sync to chrome.storage.local. Automatic background synchronization of rules across different devices is no longer supported. General extension settings (theme, toggles) are still synchronized via sync storage.

Added

• Unlimited capacity for power users (up to 10MB+ storage via local API), completely bypassing Chrome's legacy QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM errors.
• One-time local migration handler to safely move existing rules from sync to local storage on the first launch of v4.0.0.

Fixed

• Fixed browser extensions crashing or throwing unhandled database exceptions when saving massive rule lists.

[3.10.10] – 2026-07-13

Fixed

• Service worker alarm resets on mobile: Fixed a critical issue in Firefox Mobile (GeckoView) where background alarms were repeatedly reset to their initial delay upon every service worker wake-up. Integrated an asynchronous chrome.alarms.get verification routine to ensure persistent, non-overlapping background scheduling.
• Fragile background delays: Eliminated legacy setTimeout structures inside the startup and permission handlers. DNR integrity checks and state hydration now execute via solid, synchronous promise chains (await), preventing the browser from prematurely killing the background script during active processing.

Improved

• Tab switching performance: Optimized the onActivated tab listener to strictly handle authorization states without re-triggering heavy storage queries. This completely removes CPU overhead and battery drain during rapid tab switching on mobile devices.
• Deterministic lifecycle execution: Re-architected the checkAndRequestPermissions state lock using a robust try...finally block, ensuring the permission flag state resets instantly and reliably regardless of execution errors.

[3.10.9] – 2026-07-11

Fixed

• Fixed the display of weekday names in scheduled blocking rules. They are now shown in your selected language.

[3.10.8] – 2026-07-09

Improved

• Improved support for Microsoft Edge users.
• Updated Edge store link handling and added protection for Bing-related URLs.

[3.10.7] - 2026-07-09

Changed

• Dynamic focus session visibility: Enhanced the popup UX by dynamically toggling the focus session section based on the user's rules list. The focus section is now hidden by default if no blocking rules exist, keeping the interface clean and clutter-free for fresh installs.
• Reactive UI state handling: Integrated visibility logic directly into the central updateStatus routine. The focus control panel now automatically reveals itself the moment a rule is added (via the popup or the "Block this site" button) and seamlessly hides if all rules are deleted.
• Layout shift prevention: Added the hidden utility class directly to the HTML structure to prevent any visual flickering or layout shifts during the popup's initialization phase.

[3.10.6] - 2026-07-08

Changed

• Batch tab closure optimization: Replaced individual, loop-bound chrome.tabs.query operations with a unified batch function. The extension now queries open tabs exactly once and checks them against all active patterns simultaneously, reducing browser API overhead and fixing noticeable delays during focus session activation.
• Centralized DNR synchronization: Removed the redundant syncDnrRules method from RulesManager. The service worker is now established as the single source of truth for all declarativeNetRequest updates, preventing double-syncing resource consumption when rules are saved.
• Streamlined rule saving: Refactored popup and options actions to strictly handle data storage and trigger a single background reload event, ensuring smooth, non-blocking UI transitions.

[3.10.5] - 2026-07-07

Fixed

• Restored redirect functionality: Fixed a critical bug where normalizePathSegment incorrectly applied encodeURIComponent to the entire redirect URL, transforming https:// into https%3A%2F%2F and causing new URL() and location.replace() to fail in redirect.js.
• Flexible keyword blocking: Separated the normalization logic for path segments/domains from full redirect URLs. Keyword-based matching (e.g., entering tube to block youtube.com) remains fully functional.
• Parameter security: Improved validation for incoming from and to query parameters inside redirect.js to prevent crashes when handling malformed strings.

[3.10.4] - 2026-07-03

Added

• Added an option to disable the notification sound when a focus session ends. Availability may vary depending on your browser and operating system.

[3.10.3] - 2026-07-03

Improved

• Starting a focus session now automatically closes any open tabs that match your blocking rules, helping you stay focused from the very beginning.

[3.10.2] - 2026-07-01

Added

• Localization: Added translations for the Focus Session tool (including sound notifications, Hardcore mode, and custom duration strings) across all supported locales.

[3.10.1] - 2026-06-30

Fixed

• Options Page: Added real-time reactive UI locking/unlocking for rule management. The settings page now instantly reflects focus session status changes (started or stopped via popup) using chrome.storage.onChanged.
• Improved focus banner state synchronization to avoid async message response conflicts within the service worker.

[3.10.0] - 2026-06-29

Added

• Focus Session: A new powerful tool designed for maximum concentration when you need it most.
• Hardcore Mode: A new feature for Pro users that hides the "Stop" button during an active session.
• Status Banner: Added a visual banner to the settings page that displays the currently active focus session and the remaining time.

Changed

• UI Locking: During an active Focus Session, the rule management UI is now locked to prevent impulsive changes.

[3.9.12] - 2026-06-28
