    Version 18.0.1

    Released Jul 29, 2026 - 5.18 MB
    Works with firefox 128.0 and later
    New in 18.0.1

    • Auto Tab Suspender (free): idle tabs are suspended automatically after a
    delay you choose (5 minutes to 2 hours), reclaiming 2-4 GB of RAM. Pinned
    tabs and tabs playing audio are never suspended, and you can protect any
    site with one click.
    • Speed Boost + Tab Suspender is now the first action, with live auto-sleep
    status shown on the main panel.
    • Connection Security (formerly "Security Score") now scores only what it
    measures - HTTPS and security headers - on a corrected 100-point scale.
    It no longer awards points for brand recognition.
    • Fixed: the Privacy Grade ignored known data breaches for the site.
    • Fixed: Tracking Risk and the tracker bar could report conflicting verdicts
    for the same trackers.
    • Fixed: Clear Cache and Destroy Cookies failed silently on Firefox.
    • Fixed: selected font did not persist after reloading a page.
    • Full interface translations for German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and
    Russian.

    Of course. Here are the release notes for the new version of Digital Shield, highlighting all the new features and improvements we've built.

    Release Notes: Digital Shield v1.3 - The Arcade Update!
    Welcome to the biggest update to Digital Shield yet! We've completely overhauled the extension to give you more power, more control, and a lot more fun. Your privacy protection is stronger than ever, and now you can sharpen your skills in the brand-new Privacy Arcade!

    🚀 Introducing the Privacy Arcade!
    We believe that protecting your privacy should be engaging. Click the new blinking gamepad icon in the popup header to access our new collection of privacy-themed games.

    Tracker Run: Jump and duck your way through a digital highway as a custom character, dodging a random assortment of "tracker bots." The game gets faster as your score increases, and a powerful "Boss Tracker" appears every 1000 points!

    Privacy Wordle: A new, addictive word puzzle. Guess the secret 5-letter privacy-related word (like PROXY, CACHE, or ADMIN) in six tries with a full on-screen keyboard and a polished interface.

    Password Panic: A hilarious, Mad Libs-style game. Enter random words and let the game generate a ridiculously weak or overly complex password for you, complete with a funny security rating.

    Data Trail Tales: Flex your creative muscles! The game gives you a privacy-themed prompt and three random words—you write the funny story about your digital footprint.

    ✨ Major UI and UX Refresh
    We've polished the entire extension to create a more professional and reliable experience.

    New Professional Design: The popup now features a cleaner, modern look with a "Trustworthy Blue" color scheme and the highly-legible "Inter" font.

    Live Privacy News Ticker: The popup now includes a scrolling news feed with a date badge, keeping you informed of the latest data breaches and security headlines.

    Redesigned Settings Page: The settings page has been completely redesigned with a more modern, premium layout, including icons and clearer toggles for PRO features.

    Collapsible Tracker List: The "Trackers Detected" list in the popup can now be expanded or collapsed to keep the UI tidy.

    🛡️ New & Improved Privacy Tools
    Fully Functional Privacy Sandbox: This PRO feature is now live! Instead of just blocking trackers, the Sandbox neutralizes them by redirecting their requests to blank, harmless files within the extension, preventing many websites from breaking while still protecting your privacy.

    One-Click Cookie Destroyer: A new button in the popup's "Action" card allows you to instantly delete all cookies for the website you are currently visiting.

    Clearer PRO Features: The "Max Security" and "Work Mode" protection levels are now correctly designated as PRO features, unlocking automatically for licensed users.
