Save In 4 is a rebuild from the first character to the last for Manifest V3, keeping the same stubborn download-filing logic it has used since 2017. It modernizes browser support and makes complex download organization easier while preserving existing settings and rules.

Highlights

• Manifest V3 on both browsers from one package — now requires Firefox 140+ or Chrome 123+.
• Redesigned Options — clearer navigation, visual directory editing, rule templates, previews, a route debugger, search, first-run guidance, and better dark mode.
• Downloads survive a background restart — reliable filenames, notifications, history, retries, and private-browsing safeguards.
• Richer routing and renaming — many new variables, fetch: URL rewriting, rename: find-and-replace, finalfilename:/urlfileext:/css: matching, a :menupath: variable, UTF-8-aware truncation, and tighter validation.
• Automatic Page Sources saves — opt-in, behind guarded context: ^auto$ rules with live/private controls and a per-page limit, across linked media, documents, streams, CSS backgrounds, playlist hints, and inline data: sources.
• Ordinary browser downloads — opt-in tracking and routing, with a separately labelled experimental Firefox replacement mode.
• Integrations — explicitly approved extension integrations, validated configuration tools, disabled-by-default webhooks, experimental WebMCP support, and a Chrome-only on-device rule assistant.
• Streamlined saving — opt-in Quick Save with a keyboard command, a switchable default destination, post-save tab actions, History undo and move, a per-site disable list, and six new themes.

Existing 3.x settings, rules, history, and menu identifiers are all still accepted and migrate automatically. See the full changelog for the complete list.

- Firefox settings no longer disabled on the options page when in Firefox (#214)

# 3.7.1

* Fix invalid default menu configuration
* Now notifies by default for successful downloads
* Fix light mode icon for last used menu item being white
* Refactor context menu creation, might help with #200

# 3.7.0

This update might require a change in your muscle memories. Previously all submenus of the same depth would have their shortcut keys increment even if they had different parents. That's now been fixed. Thanks,
@mfaizsyahmi!

If you want to use your old buggy shortcut again, use the new `(key: <VALUE>)` comment (eg, `menu // (key: 1)`), which will override the automatically-assigned shortcut with `1`.

* Reset accessKey count on every submenu. (#198, #199). Thanks @mfaizsyahmi!
* Add new meta comment to override accessKey
* Use white icon for previous entry in dark mode (#184)
* Add basic history to options page (#159)

It's been difficult getting motivation to work on save-in, especially with the poor code quality, stalled TypeScript changes, and impending v3 manifest changes. Sorry if I've disappointed anyone! I still have grand dreams of rewriting this extension to make it maintainable, but my energy is being and has been sucked up by $DAY_JOB!

* Add support for multiple `capture` clauses (#160, @MaddyKakkoHeart)

* Add "fetch via Fetch API" option for some incompatible sites (eg, Instagram) (#166)
* Upgrade webextension-polyfill to 0.8.0

# 3.5.1

* Fix text not visible in dark mode (#112)
* Fix some potential bugs with filename and source URL routing
* Fix dashes in aliases breaking download paths (#124)
* Fix separators in submenus not being treated as special directories (#117)
* Fix Click-to-save not working for middle and right mouse buttons (#116)
* Update sv localisation (#119, @Sopor)
* Update vendored mozilla/webextension-polyfill to 0.5
* Refactor `legacyDownloadInfo` out from code

Many thanks to everyone using this extension, and especially to all contributors and bug-reporters. I would like to apologise for the late update.

* Make options page support dark mode for Firefox (#112)
* Add unofficially (unsupported) onMessageExternal listener for use with other extensions such as Foxy Gestures (#110)
