Version 0.8.13
Released 19 Jul 2026 - 213.63 kBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later0.8.3 — Image thumbnails persist in chat history across popup close/reopen (stored in session history alongside the Q&A text, threaded through all reattach and recovery paths).
0.8.4 — Support up to 3 images per question (file picker, paste, drag-drop). Multiple thumbnails shown horizontally above the input and under each question in chat history. MAX_ATTACHMENTS constant (3) ready for future txt/md support.
0.8.5 — Reset conversation button on the toolbar (clears Q&A for the tab, keeps transcript cache). Image limit hint "(up to 3…)" next to thumbnails. Fixed stale imgSrc reference that broke Ask when no image was attached.
0.8.6 — Attach text files: the clip button now accepts text-based files (txt, md, csv, json, code, etc.) in addition to images. Text content is prepended to the question as reference material. Shared limit of 3 attachments (images + text combined). Unsupported file types show an error. Drag-and-drop accepts any file type.
0.8.7 — Fix: delete button on text-file chips was clipped by overflow: hidden. Filename now wraps in an inner span so the ✕ button is fully visible. Attachment chips raised above the footer border via z-index + overflow: visible.
0.8.8 — Fix: export filename now uses the current video's title (YouTube's SPA navigation left og:title stale on the first video). Title probe tries YouTube's <h1> element first, then document.title, then og:title. Non-video pages use a date-based default filename. Platform suffixes (- YouTube etc.) stripped. "PAL - " prefix restored.
0.8.9 — CC (caption) state is now reliably restored after the tool finishes using it. All three CC-toggle paths (ytCaptionWindow, ytScrubRange via ytRestore, ytCaptionsViaPlayer) use a retry-and-verify loop that clicks until aria-pressed matches the original state. ytCaptionWindow also wrapped in try/finally so CC is restored even on error.
0.8.10 — Plain Mode: a Video/Plain dropdown in the header for non-video use. Plain mode sends the question as-is (no screenshot, no transcript extraction, no video system prompt); pasted reference content and attached files/images still work. Fix: empty system message caused HTTP 400 on some APIs (Kimi) — now omitted entirely when empty. Fix: passphrase prompt timing — GET_STATE fires first in init so the unlock prompt shows immediately. Fix: Ask button stays disabled while key is locked; Enter key blocked until unlocked.
0.8.11 — Version number (from manifest) shown in the popup title and settings header. Export filename now includes timestamp: PAL-resource-timestamp.md (no spaces).
0.8.12 — In video mode, the model prefixes its answer with "Current timestamp: HH:MM:SS" (the playback position when the question was asked).
0.8.13 — Markdown export: answer headings no longer clash with the ## question headings — any ## in an answer is demoted to ### (code blocks left untouched).Source code released under MIT Licence
Version 0.7.3
Released 14 Jul 2026 - 208.82 kBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later0.7.0 — Export Q&A as Markdown: a new button in the popup header exports the current tab's questions and answers to a.mdfile — with the video title (read from the page, else derived from the first question), the source URL, and an export timestamp — for saving as notes.
0.7.1 — Toolbar icons replaced with consistent, base-aligned inline SVGs; the export button now appears the moment a question is asked; and the view no longer auto-scrolls to the bottom while a reply streams if you've scrolled up to read earlier output.
0.7.2 — Fix detached-window host access on Firefox: the detach button now grants the specific video site + your AI endpoint (Firefox won't grant a wildcard), and the detached window checks rather than requests access (it can't show a permission prompt). Export also no longer blocks when the video title can't be read — it falls back to a derived title.
0.7.3 — Answers survive popup close: the service worker tracks in-flight answers per tab so a reopened popup reattaches to the stream (live) or recovers the partial from session storage (if the worker was recycled). The question is persisted immediately on Ask — before the slow setup — so closing the popup right after asking no longer loses it. Firefox detached-window error message now guides users to right-click the icon → "Always Allow on [site]".Source code released under MIT Licence
