    Version 1.30

    Released Sep 1, 2026 - 41.94 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    Version 1.30 improves extraction reliability and introduces a redesigned, easier-to-use interface.

    What’s new:

    • Adjustable page wait time from 0 to 10 seconds, with 5 seconds recommended by default.
    • Content-readiness checks that wait for meaningful, stable text before accepting an extraction.
    • Protection against corrupted, encoded, repeated, or machine-generated content.
    • Automatic single retry when a page fails to extract correctly.
    • Clear failure reasons for timeouts, login requirements, CAPTCHAs, access restrictions, rate limits, and unreadable pages.
    • Sequential URL processing, with each temporary tab closed before the next one opens.
    • Duplicate and invalid URL detection before processing begins.
    • Maximum batch size of 100 URLs.
    • Option to divide results across 1 to 10 plain-text files.
    • Optional batch names for more descriptive filenames.
    • Improved progress tracking and batch completion summaries.
    • Options to retry failed URLs, copy failed URLs, and download results again.
    • A single-batch lock prevents multiple batches from running simultaneously.
    • Improved extraction from JavaScript-rendered pages, accessible frames, and open shadow roots.
    • Final output validation prevents corrupted or malformed files from being downloaded.
    • Optional completion notifications, disabled by default.
    • No analytics, tracking, or external data transmission.

    Version 1.30 requires Firefox 140 or later on desktop and Firefox 142 or later on Android.
