4.6.0

User Highlights

• Collapsed FAQ answers and other hidden article sections are now kept by default. Turn on Skip Hidden Content when you want a strict visible-only clip.
• MathML now exports as TeX, so equations from math-heavy pages stay readable instead of flattening into mashed-together text.
• Code examples keep their line breaks on pages that build code blocks out of spans and <br> tags.
• Filename cleanup can now replace blocked characters with your own text, like _ or -, across downloads, image paths, Library exports, and Obsidian paths.
• Firefox clipping avoids the stray fallback tab, and shorter Obsidian sends can go straight through the Advanced URI data path without using the clipboard.

Technical Notes

• Hidden Content Recovery: Added skipHiddenContent as an option, defaulting to hidden content included. Readability scoring stays anchored to visible content while hidden content from matched source anchors is restored into the extracted article, and the content script removes hidden nodes only when the option is enabled.
• MathML and Code Conversion: Added shared MathML-to-TeX conversion for native MathML, MathJax MathML scripts, data-mathml containers, and Turndown fallback handling. Shared code-block extraction now preserves br and span-based newlines in both cleanup and preserve-code-formatting paths.
• Filename Replacement Pipeline: Added disallowedCharReplacement to defaults, options UI, guide documentation, template substitution, image filename generation, generated downloads, Library exports, and Obsidian folder/title handling.
• Obsidian Send Path: Added shared Obsidian Advanced URI helpers that use inline data transport when the payload fits and fall back to clipboard transport for larger Markdown, with explicit clipboard-copy failure detection.
• Firefox Clipping Bridge: Added popup-managed Firefox offscreen bridge, service-worker readiness tracking, native offscreen support detection, and fallback retry behavior so Firefox clipping does not open an extra extension tab when the popup bridge is ready.
• Notifications and Store Prompts: Added a one-time review request after successful exports, browser-specific store review URLs, priority ordering that keeps support milestone cards ahead of review prompts, and a clearer Quick Ask notification eyebrow.
• Regression Coverage: Added a Firefox verification workflow, focused Firefox live smoke test, live Markdown snapshot capture tooling, MathML and WeChat code-block E2E fixtures, hidden-content recovery tests, filename replacement tests, Obsidian transport tests, and notification priority tests.

User Highlights
Popup exports now support Markdown, plain text, HTML, PDF, and Print, with a configurable default format.
New Site Rules add per-site clipping overrides for templates, images, downloads, and table formatting.
First-run onboarding and Permissions & Privacy guidance are now clearer, including an Agent Bridge preflight explainer.
New Color Blind themes add Deuteranopia, Protanopia, and Tritanopia variants across the extension.
The popup and settings now include shortcut help, live template previews, better search feedback, and reading-time counts.

User Highlights

• The popup now has a Markdown Preview toggle, so you can switch from editing to a rendered preview without leaving MarkSnip.
• MarkSnip now includes special Claude, Perplexity, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Ben 10 themes across the popup, settings, and guide.
• The Library feels more polished, with skeleton loading, smoother transitions, richer clip metadata, delete animations, and more export options.
• Clipping is more reliable on tricky pages, including wrapped FAQ layouts, repeated-section docs, and ARIA-based tables that previously lost structure.
• Agent Bridge setup is smoother in Chrome: native messaging is requested only when you enable the feature, with a one-time reload when Chrome needs it.

4.1.2

• In-Product Notifications: Added queued update and support milestone notifications with release-note links inside the extension.
• Options Management: Added settings search with stricter fallback matching, per-setting reset links, a global Reset All action, and clearer URL metadata guidance.
• Batch Processing UX: Improved the link picker, kept the popup open after batch start, and added an in-page progress overlay with a cancel button for running batches.
• Clipping Reliability: Added two-pass readability recovery for repeated-section pages, preserved legacy baseURI behavior with SPA-safe page URL fields, and fixed saveAs handling in blob fallback paths without mutating markdown options.
• Accessibility & Packaging: Bundled popup/options fonts locally, improved keyboard accessibility, and opened the options page in a browser tab by default.
• Licensing: Replaced the Apache License with the PolyForm Noncommercial License.

4.1.1

• Selection Capture Fix: Preserved selected HTML context during conversion to prevent broken markdown output from partial selections.
• Math Output Normalization: Normalized math rendering paths for cleaner markdown output when clipping selected content.
• Regression Coverage: Added unit tests for selection capture behavior to lock in the fix.
• Options Sidebar: Added a new Leave Review button under Buy Me a Coffee that automatically links to Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons reviews based on the current browser.

4.1.0

• Markdown Controls: Added configurable hashtag handling modes (keep, remove, escape) with safer conversion behavior and dedicated tests.
• Math Extraction Reliability: Improved LaTeX capture flow before DOM snapshotting and fixed KaTeX handling in offscreen processing when annotation fallback is missing.
• Popup Appearance Settings: Added popup customization controls for color mode, accent colors, and compact mode.
• Options Page Refresh: Redesigned the options page to align with the popup design system and improved sidebar behavior.
• Options UX Improvements: Added visual examples for table settings, a CodeMirror editor theme selector, helper hints for key toggles, and a donation button in the sidebar.
• Test Coverage: Added end-to-end URL snapshot batch coverage with fixtures for real-world pages.

4.0.6

• Firefox Support: Unified offscreen processing across Chrome and Firefox by loading offscreen/offscreen.html in Firefox and routing clipping through the same messaging path.
• Firefox Build Output: Updated browser manifest generation so Firefox bundles required background scripts and excludes the Chrome-only offscreen permission.
• Readability Improvements: Cherry-picked Safari Reader heuristics into Readability.js for better article extraction on difficult pages.
• Regression Coverage: Added end-to-end tests for command routing and download behavior (command-download-regression.spec.js).

4.0.5

• Download Reliability: Fixed filename conflicts with other extensions by only handling downloads positively identified as MarkSnip-owned.
• Filename Safety: Added fallbacks for empty/missing titles to prevent invalid or blank .md filenames.
• Quality: Added targeted unit tests for filename conflict handling and empty-title edge cases.
• Docs/UI: Refreshed README and user guide content and made small popup header styling updates.

4.0.4

• UI Modernization: Updated popup buttons with the Inter font and a new batch processing icon for a more polished look.
• Batch Link Picker: Improved the user experience of the link picker with smooth animations and a consistent sage-green color palette.

4.0.3

• Firefox Compatibility: Added data_collection_permissions and updated the extension ID for better Firefox support.
• Reliability: Improved keyboard shortcut reliability for "Copy as Markdown" and "Save as Markdown" actions.
• Bug Fix: Fixed "Strip Images" option not being honored when images were inside tables.
• Build System: Added support for generating browser-specific manifest files for Chrome and Firefox.
