v1.3.0 Privacy-First Global Capture & Optional Permissions
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.
