v1.23 Release Notes / Changelog

Enhanced Click & Pointer Detection: Replaced standard click listeners with early pointerdown event handling using composedPath(), ensuring reliable Send button interception across native Firefox, PWAs, and custom desktop wrappers.

Shadow DOM & Nested Element Support: Fixed an issue where clicking inner SVG icons or nested button elements failed to register properly on certain Firefox layouts.

Stop Button Protection: Added explicit state filtering to prevent timestamp injection from accidentally triggering Gemini's "Stop response" control during active generation.

Synchronous Event Pipeline: Optimized text insertion timing so the timestamp is appended seamlessly to the prompt before the interface consumes the submit action.


🚀 Release Notes: Gemini Auto-Timestamp v1.22

This update brings a significant under-the-hood refactor to improve reliability, flexibility, and overall event handling when submitting prompts.
🌟 What’s New

Send Button Support: Timestamps are now automatically injected whether you submit via the Enter key or by clicking the Send button directly.

Unified Event Architecture: Extracted core logic into modular helpers (getTimestampString, findInputElement, appendTimestamp), streamlining DOM interactions and keeping timing data completely synced across both input methods.

Smart Duplicate Prevention: Built-in duplicate detection ensures the timestamp isn't appended twice if Enter and click events occur simultaneously.

Targeted Click Interception: Leverages capture-phase event handling with precise element matching (closest()), ensuring stray clicks anywhere else on the interface are completely ignored while properly capturing button/icon clicks.

Resilient Prompt Detection: Improved fallback detection for active prompt containers across standard textarea, input, and custom contenteditable wrappers.


📦 Changed Files

manifest.json: Bumped version to 1.22.

content.js: Complete overhaul of event listeners and DOM injection pipelines.


Updated Prompt Prefix: Changed context injection header from [SYSTEM INSTRUCTION] to [Current Time Anchor]. This prevents trigger warnings with Gemini's Web Application Firewall (WAF) and stops rate-limiting blocks during large text prompts.

Improved Reliability: Maintains accurate temporal tracking without triggering false-positive security filters.

Timestamp correctly placed at end of message, rather than where cursor is.
Timestamp explicitly instructs Gemini to use the timestamp every time.
