Note: Due to third-party store review policies, it may take a while until the update is made available to everyone.

The highlights of this release is that the popup allowlisting button now does 7
day smart allowlisting. It also contains a potential fix for a bug where some
users are reporting no longer having any subscriptions.

Changes

  • We no longer test the MV2 build of our extensions on Chrome 129 and later, since it disables MV2 extensions by defaults.
  • Enable user counting functionality
  • Updated snippets to 1.6.0
  • Upgraded to SDK version 1.15.0
  • Updated snippets to 1.7.0
  • Changed popup allowlist behaviour to 7 days smart allowlist (EXT-339)
  • Attempt to fix issue when no subscriptions are enabled (due to corrupted data), restoring to default subscriptions (EXT-375)
