BrowLighter 0.1.5

Released: April 25, 2026

Highlights

This release fixes the image bookmarking flow in Firefox and makes the behavior clearer when bookmarking images from a page.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where bookmarking an image could appear to do nothing.
• Fixed a bug where opening the drawer for an image bookmark could overwrite the pending image with an older text selection.

Improved

• Image bookmarks now open the drawer directly on the Selection view so the pending image is visible immediately.
• Added regression coverage to help prevent the image bookmark flow from breaking again.

Package

• Firefox extension build: browlighter-firefox-v0.1.5.xpi

BrowLighter 0.1.4

This release fixes a rendering bug where some websites could override BrowLighter’s
UI styling and break the drawer.

What changed

• Moved the BrowLighter drawer into an isolated shadow root so page CSS can no longer leak into the extension UI.
• Stopped injecting the extension stylesheet directly into the page document.
• Added regression coverage to ensure the drawer remains style-isolated on hostile or unusually aggressive sites.

Why this matters

On pages such as weasyprint.org, site-level CSS could interfere with BrowLighter’s layout and controls. With this release, the extension UI is encapsulated from host-page styling, making rendering much more reliable across sites.

Upgrade notes

• No action or migration is required.
• Existing saved notes and settings are unaffected.

BrowLighter 0.1.3

This release adds domain exclusion controls so BrowLighter can stay hidden on sites where personal or sensitive content is common. It also ships with a built-in default exclusion list for common private-productivity and messaging domains.

What changed

• Added configurable excluded domains in the Configs tab
• Added a built-in default privacy list for domains such as:
  • docs.google.com
  • mail.google.com
  • classroom.google.com
  • drive.google.com
  • calendar.google.com
  • meet.google.com
  • outlook.office.com
  • teams.microsoft.com
  • notion.so
  • app.slack.com
  • discord.com
  • web.whatsapp.com
• Prevented BrowLighter from appearing on excluded domains and their subdomains
• Blocked toolbar, shortcut, and context-menu capture actions on excluded domains
• Added domain normalization and hostname-matching coverage for the exclusion rules

Behavior

• New users get the built-in exclusion list automatically
• Existing users keep their saved exclusion settings
• Users can edit or remove any excluded domain from the config UI

Verification

• Firefox package built: browlighter-firefox-v0.1.3.xpi
• Test suite passed
• Strict coverage gate passed with 100% line/branch/function coverage for core.js

BrowLighter 0.1.2

This release moves note storage to Firefox local storage so saved notes are no longer constrained by sync-storage limits. Existing sync-backed notes are migrated into local storage on upgrade, and the extension now supports larger local libraries with unlimitedStorage.

What changed

• Switched saved notes from Firefox sync storage to local storage
• Added one-time migration from legacy sync-backed notes into local storage
• Added direct keyboard save for selected text
• Added manual cross-device transfer via JSON export/import workflow
• Added correctly sized icon assets for Firefox packaging
• Removed the unsafe fragment-based SVG insertion path flagged by AMO

Keyboard shortcut

• macOS: Cmd+Shift+I
• Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+I

Notes

• Cross-device live sync is not included in this release
• To move notes between machines, export the notes JSON and import it on the other device

Verification

• Rebuilt Firefox package: browlighter-firefox-v0.1.2.xpi
• Test suite passed
• Coverage gate passed at 100% for the enforced core module
• Added regression checks for manifest icon sizing and forbidden unsafe DOM sinks

Bugfixes:
- fixed an issue with missing icons on buttons
- fixed button not capturing notes
- now context menu button directly captures notes as expected
- strengthened test
