    Released 4 Sep 2026 - 42.63 kB
    Works with firefox 58.0 and later
    Reduced permissions (privacy improvement)

    Earlier versions of TextGrab took a broad "Access your data for all websites" permission because the content scripts ran on every page you visited. This update fixes that.

    What changed:
    - The extension now uses Firefox's activeTab permission instead of a permanent all-sites permission.
    - Page access is granted temporarily, one tab at a time, and only when you deliberately use TextGrab (click the toolbar button or a right-click menu item).
    - No more persistent access to every website you browse; data is only read from the current page when you invoke the extension.

    What's the same:
    - Extract clean article text + convert to markdown
    - One-click copy to clipboard
    - Context menu options
    - No data collection — everything runs locally

    Why: This narrows the permission footprint so TextGrab only ever reads the page you're actively working on, when you choose to — nothing always-on in the background.
