New Quick Access and Recently Opened tabs

QUICK ACCESS - Pin the bookmarks you reach for most to the top of the sidebar. Right-click any bookmark and choose "Add to Quick Access", or drag one onto the section. Drag and drop to rearrange if desired. Quick access pinned links are mirrors, not copies. There is only ever one real bookmark: delete it from its folder and the pin goes with it, while removing the quick access link leaves the bookmark untouched. Pins cannot be dragged out into your folders, so rearranging them never moves anything real.

RECENTLY OPENED
The last 5 bookmarks you opened from BMZ, one click away for easy repeat access. It shares a collapsible row with Quick Access, so neither takes up space when you are not using it, and either can be hidden from the Display Options button in the toolbar.

PINS SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
If you use GitLab snippet sync, your Quick Access pins travel with your bookmarks to every device, including the Chrome extension, the web app, and android app as well. Pins made on two devices merge rather than overwrite each other, and unpinning on one device carries across instead of coming back on the next sync.

FIXES
- The Welcome and Cross-Device Sync cards no longer reappear every time you open a private window.
- Restored the HaGeZi threat intelligence blocklist, which had stopped loading entirely after the project reorganized its files.

minor tweak

Header adjustment to fit content when sidebar is narrow

-Removed unnecessary Merge functions.
-Fixed Stop Scan button behavior.
-Added scan intensity and jitter toggles.
-Other bug fixes and improvements under the hood

v4.7 — Skip merge dialog when bookmarks already match
When connecting to an existing GitLab snippet, BMZ now compares a checksum of the local bookmarks against the remote snippet before showing the replace/merge dialog. If they are identical, the snippet is connected silently with no dialog shown. The dialog still appears as normal when local and remote differ.

v4.6 — Announcement banner bugfix

v4.5 — Cross-Device Sync

GitLab requires all Personal Access Tokens to expire (maximum one year). If you use GitLab snippet sync, that previously meant manually replacing your token in BMZ each time it expired.

With v4.5, BMZ handles this for you. Sign in with your GitLab account via OAuth and your token is securely stored in Supabase — BMZ refreshes it automatically before it expires. If you use GitLab snippet sync across multiple devices, browsers, or apps, your token stays available across all of them with no manual re-entry needed.

New in this update:

GitLab OAuth login via Firefox's native identity API (no credentials entered in the extension)
Encrypted PAT storage in Supabase (AES-GCM, keyed on your user ID)
Automatic token refresh before expiry
Cross-device token sync for multi-device setups
Disconnect options: this device only, or all devices
Token storage mode selector: Local (this device only) or Supabase (auto-sync)
Local-only storage still works if you prefer to keep things on this device

Fixed GitLab Token Link - "Create Token on GitLab" button now points to the correct URL after GitLab moved Personal Access Tokens from /-/profile/ to /-/user_settings/.

v4.2 (Current) - Context Menu Redesign

New Features:
- Replace Remote Snippet with Local - New option in the sync setup dialog when connecting a GitLab snippet. Overwrites the remote snippet with your current local bookmarks, in addition to the existing Keep Local, Merge, and Replace Local with Remote Snippet options.

Improvements:
- Drag-and-Drop Reliability - Overhauled drop zone logic. Each item now acts as a single unified drop target (top half = insert before, bottom half = insert after) replacing the previous three competing zones per gap. Folder headers additionally support drop-into on the bottom half. Fixed an index offset bug that caused items to land one position too far down when reordering within the same folder.
- Context Menu Redesign - Right-click and hamburger menus now open as a slide-in panel from the right edge of the sidebar instead of a fragile absolute-positioned popup. Eliminates clipping, size inconsistencies, and overlap issues. Click outside or press Escape to dismiss.

v4.1 - Move To, Keyboard Shortcuts & Drag Improvements

New Features:
- Move to... Context Menu - Right-click any bookmark or folder and select "Move to..." to relocate it via a modal folder picker
- Full changelog integration with undo/restore support
- Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Click - Open bookmarks in a new tab
- Keyboard Shortcut: Shift+Click - Open bookmarks in a new window
- Multi-Select Click Anywhere - In multi-select mode, clicking anywhere on a bookmark or folder toggles its selection (no longer requires clicking the small checkbox)
- Context Menus now expand from the margin and take up the full screen

Improvements:
- Drag-and-Drop Auto-Scroll - Dragging a bookmark near the top or bottom edge of the list now auto-scrolls at a speed proportional to cursor proximity
- Sync Success Visual Feedback - Manual sync button now shows spinning arrows during sync and green arrows for 5 seconds on success, replacing success toasts. Error toasts are preserved.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed "allBookmarks is not defined" - Resolved error in bulk recheck and bulk move functions by properly fetching the bookmark tree before use
- Fixed Stop Scan Button Missing - Stop button now consistently appears in the status bar during all scan types (folder expansion, multi-select recheck, and manual rescan)

Added FMHY Blocklist

v3.7 (Current) - UI Improvements

New Features:
- 🎨 Enhanced GitLab Login Button - GitLab tanuki icon now displays "LOGIN" text overlay for clarity
- Bold black text on white tanuki makes it immediately obvious this is a login button
- Automatically switches to logout icon when authenticated
- Improves user experience by making button purpose crystal clear

Improvements:
- 🔄 Conditional Manual Sync Button - Manual sync button now only appears when logged in
- Hides when not authenticated to keep UI clean
- Automatically shows/hides based on GitLab authentication state
- Reduces UI clutter for users not using GitLab sync

New Features:
- 💾 Pre-Sync Snapshot Protection - Automatic safety net for sync operations
- Creates complete bookmark snapshot before destructive sync operations (Pull Remote to Local, Bidirectional Merge)
- Stores full bookmark tree state before replacing with remote data
- Allows one-click restoration to pre-sync state if sync was done mistakenly
- Accessible via changelog with prominent "Restore Pre-Sync Bookmarks" button
- Clears old changelog entries (invalid IDs after sync) automatically
- Prevents data loss from accidental sync operations

How It Works:
- When you perform "Pull Remote to Local" or "Bidirectional Merge", a snapshot is automatically created
- Changelog shows sync operation with orange sync icon and restore button
- Click "Restore Pre-Sync Bookmarks" to undo the sync and restore your previous bookmarks
- Confirms before restoration with clear warning about replacing current bookmarks
- Works across all sync operations that replace bookmark IDs

User Experience:
- Clear visual indicators in changelog (orange sync icon)
- Detailed confirmation dialogs prevent accidental restoration
- Full transparency about what will be replaced
- No manual backups needed - automatic protection for every sync
