What’s New

Privacy-First Capture

rep+ now respects your privacy by default. Broad permissions (webRequest, <all_urls>) are not granted automatically. Full global capture is only activated when you click the 🌍 globe icon, giving you control over what you share.

Optional Permissions

  • Global network capture is requested at runtime, only when needed.
  • No silent monitoring, your workspace remains lightweight until you enable extra power.

Google Web Store Ready

This release is an important step toward publishing rep+ on the Chrome Web Store. By avoiding overly broad default permissions, we reduce the risk of being flagged by Google, while still keeping the extension fully functional.

Improved UX

  • One-time permission prompt ensures Chrome compliance without disrupting your workflow.
  • Multi-tab and global visibility continue to work seamlessly after enabling.
