## Changelog

- [Release History](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/): Version history for all extensions. RSS: https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/rss.xml

- [SuperchargeCapture 1.1.1 — A rebuilt editor — timeline editing, offline captions & more](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/capture/1.1.1/) (2026-08-14): Version 1.1.1 rebuilds the editor. Recordings open on a real timeline: split clips, change their speed, delete a section — or every silent stretch at once — and the rest closes up. Zoom is edited after recording instead of locked in at capture. Timed annotations, a movable blur region, background music that dips under your voice, and an editable webcam layer all live on the timeline, and auto-captions are generated on your device by a speech model bundled inside the extension — fully offline. Projects save and reopen, every edit has undo, and the screenshot editor gains paste-to-edit, crop, and new tools. No new permissions.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.3.4 — Learn Nav, Workspace Undo & an Opt-In New Tab Page](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.3.4/) (2026-08-10): This is a bigger one. Learn Nav puts everything the extension does into the side panel as a tutorial you complete by doing, not just reading — curated to 39 entries that each teach a real capability. Creating a workspace by accident is no longer permanent — there's an Undo — and saving one always confirms your tabs are safe. The custom new tab page is now something you opt into rather than something that happens to you. The first run is calmer too: one prompt at a time, and the sync question waits until you have a workspace to sync. Underneath it all, a real bug fix: two windows could share one workspace, and one would quietly lose its tabs.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.6 — Ad Blocking That Repairs Itself](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.6/) (2026-08-07): Your ad blocking now repairs itself. When Chrome fails to load the blocking rules — often because another ad blocker uses up the shared rule budget — the popup detects it, repairs it automatically, and says so. Third-party script blocking now blocks analytics and tracking scripts by default instead of breaking YouTube embeds, Disqus comments, and Facebook Login. Spotify, YouTube's video servers, Intercom, Stripe's payment checks, SmartScreen, eBay, and Google sign-in are no longer blocked by mistake, and a routine security pass made the popup's controls and extension messaging stricter. No new permissions.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.5 — Save Your Own EQ Presets](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.5/) (2026-08-06): You can now save an equalizer curve you like as a named preset and reuse it anywhere, instead of re-dragging ten sliders. Smart Mute starts off instead of on, so a fresh install won't silence your background music the moment you switch tabs — and it no longer touches mutes it didn't set itself. The master off switch reaches every open tab at once, and the toolbar badge only shows a boost that's actually playing.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.3.3 — Search Goes to Your Default Engine](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.3.3/) (2026-06-29): This one's about staying out of your way. Searching from the new-tab box or the side-panel command search now sends you to the default search engine you've already chosen in your browser, rather than picking one for you. And keyboard hint mode learned some manners: it stays quiet while a text field is focused, so typing into a site's own search box — Instagram DMs were the case someone reported — won't flash hint badges at you mid-keystroke. Two small changes that each remove a daily papercut.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.4 — Glitch-Free EQ While You Drag the Sliders](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.4/) (2026-06-25): This release fixes a small but audible glitch in the equalizer. Adjusting the EQ while audio plays — especially dragging the band sliders quickly — could produce a brief click. Single changes already ramped smoothly; the click only showed up when a new adjustment landed before the previous one had finished settling. That case now transitions cleanly. The release also reworks the occasional review prompt so its buttons can't get clipped in the narrow popup. Everything on the audio side carries over from 1.0.3 unchanged.
- [SuperchargeCapture 1.0.2 — Smoother auto-zoom & calmer permission asks](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/capture/1.0.2/) (2026-06-25): The automatic zoom feels much steadier in this release. It now holds the frame on the area you're working in and glides to follow only deliberate cursor moves, instead of tightly tracking every small wiggle. The camera and microphone permission prompts have been redesigned as calm, clear invitations rather than red error-style banners. The popup gains an "Open editor" button so you can reach past recordings to review or edit without recording something new, and the polished cursor is now off by default — you can switch it on in record settings whenever you want it.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.3.2 — Your Open Tabs Are Backed Up Before a Sync Restore](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.3.2/) (2026-06-25): The headline here fixes a real data-loss case: installing Nav on a new device with workspaces already in the cloud could restore one over your current window and wipe the open tabs with no way back. Now those tabs are saved as a named workspace before anything is swapped in, and a toast names it so you can reopen them. Keyboard hint mode also picks up where you left off when you tap Shift again, and link handling is a little stricter. This tab-safety fix came straight from an uninstall note — we read every single one.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.5 — Refreshed Blocklists & Popup Polish](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.5/) (2026-06-25): v1.4.5 is a maintenance release. The blocklists are refreshed from every upstream source — 186,728 rules across three tiers. The in-popup review prompt got a visual redesign: a milestone icon ladder in place of the old emoji, a gold medallion above the headline, and layout fixes so the card sizes to the active step and the buttons no longer clip. The popup's cross-promo now cycles through our other extensions one at a time and adds SuperchargeCapture. No new permissions.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.3 — Smoother Channel Switching and Consistent 8D Spatial Tone](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.3/) (2026-06-22): Two small fixes that clean up the feel of using the extension live. Flipping between channel modes or toggling 8D while audio is playing used to produce a brief click or pop; the gains now ramp the same way volume and EQ already do. The 8D spatial character is also deterministic now — pages with multiple videos, or a reload mid-session, no longer shift the "room" feel between clips. Everything else carries over from 1.0.2 unchanged.
- [SuperchargeCapture 1.0.0 — Screenshots, Screen Recording & Annotation, All Local](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/capture/1.0.0/) (2026-06-22): SuperchargeCapture turns what's on your screen into a shareable image or video, entirely on your device. Take a screenshot of the visible area, the full page, or a region you drag out; record a tab without a screen-picker dialog, or a window or the whole screen, with an optional webcam bubble, microphone, and system audio. Every capture opens in a built-in editor to annotate, trim, and export — as a GIF, MP4, or WebM, or a screenshot as PDF. Save it as a file or send it to your own Google Drive. No account, no watermark, and no access to the sites you browse by default.
- [SuperchargeCapture 1.0.1 — Reliable Drive sharing & a tidier editor](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/capture/1.0.1/) (2026-06-22): Two fixes in this patch. Sharing or exporting a recording to Google Drive could freeze at "Uploading 0%" because a video render step hung before the upload ever started — that path now renders and sends the file through reliably. Screenshots were never affected. The editor toolbar also stays put: the Export, Share to Drive, and Save buttons hold a consistent size instead of resizing or getting squished, including when a Drive status message appears.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.3.1 — Discoverable Rename, a Best-Match Palette & a Type-to-Select HUD](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.3.1/) (2026-06-19): Rename was double-click-only with no visible cue, so people missed it entirely — it now shows a hover affordance in the new-tab page and the sidebar and a Rename item in the group menu. The command palette gains a Best Matches section and closes on Esc from any focus, and type-to-select finally shows the query you're typing with a live match count. A handful of fixes round it out. Your honest read is the only feedback signal a solo developer gets.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.4 — Auto-Reject Cookie Banners On by Default](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.4/) (2026-06-19): Cookie banner auto-rejection was bundled inside the Smart Page Cleanup toggle, which ships off by default — so on a fresh install the advertised auto-reject never actually ran unless you turned Smart Page Cleanup on. It's now its own feature, Auto-Reject Cookie Banners, on by default. Cosmetic element hiding stays a separate opt-in. A second fix stops a SecurityError on sandboxed iframes that could quietly kill cookie auto-rejection on certain pages. No new permissions.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.3 — Whitelist Wildcard Fix & Smarter Per-Site Defaults](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.3/) (2026-06-15): v1.4.3 is a focused bugfix release centered on the whitelist. A wildcard entry like `*.example.com` — a format the UI's own hint suggested — silently matched nothing, and a single wildcard entry could corrupt the per-site exclusions for every whitelist entry, making whitelisting appear to do nothing at all. Wildcard and www prefixes are now cleaned up automatically and existing entries are migrated on update. Manual whitelist adds now bypass all features by default, the popup's site toggle understands subdomains, the footer version string is read from the manifest, and the blocklists are refreshed.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.3.0 — The In-Page Sidebar — Nav Lives Inside the Page Now](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.3.0/) (2026-06-11): v1.3.0 moves Nav's sidebar inside the web page — a slim panel that resizes narrower than Chrome's native one, docks to either edge, and even works on the Chrome Web Store, chrome:// pages, and PDFs. Keyboard hints and type-to-select now ship on by default, and a paused site greys out the toolbar icon so you can see where Nav is off. Your honest read is the only feedback signal a solo developer gets.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.2 — Instant Whitelisting, Fewer False Hides & Stop Autoplay Rebuilt](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.2/) (2026-06-11): v1.4.2 makes per-site control immediate: disable the extension on a site and the change applies right away — hidden elements reappear without a reload, the tab reloads itself, and the whitelist now treats a domain and its www version as the same site. Cosmetic blocking is more conservative, so live tickers, share buttons, and real alert banners stay put, and the scroll-unlock fix no longer touches genuine modals. Stop Autoplay is rebuilt to be reliable, a new "Disable on this site" prompt appears only on genuinely broken pages, and the cookie engine and blocklists are refreshed.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.2 — SuperchargeAudio — Live on the Chrome Web Store](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.2/) (2026-06-10): A small release for a real milestone: the Chrome Web Store listing is live. Chrome users can now install and rate SuperchargeAudio directly, and the occasional in-extension review prompt points at the actual listing — before this it had nowhere real to go on Chrome. Everything else carries over from 1.0.1 unchanged.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.1 — SuperchargeAudio — Clean High Boost and Protected-Audio Support](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.1/) (2026-06-08): Push the volume up and stack the EQ as hard as you like — a new soft limiter catches the peaks, so 600% stays clean instead of buzzing. Slider and band moves now glide rather than click. Protected streams like Netflix and Spotify surface a one-tap capture banner when in-page boosting can't reach them, and a tap anywhere on a tab row switches you to it. The cross-tab sync and sticky mute from launch come along for the ride.
- [SuperchargeAudio 1.0.0 — SuperchargeAudio — Volume, EQ, and Spatial Controls for Every Tab](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/audio/1.0.0/) (2026-05-28): SuperchargeAudio brings granular audio control to every browser tab. Boost volume beyond the browser's 100% limit, shape sound with a 10-band equalizer, and widen or narrow the stereo field — all without leaving the browser. Smart mute keeps background tabs silent while you focus on the active one, and per-site memory means your preferred settings apply automatically every time you return to a site. For DRM-protected streaming sites where in-page audio processing is not permitted, an optional tab-audio-capture mode applies the same controls to the tab's output.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.1 — Scroll Restore, Smarter Media Detection & Overlay Scroll Fix](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.1/) (2026-05-28): v1.4.1 is a polish patch on v1.4.0. The two most-noticed fixes: suspended tabs now restore your scroll position on reload, and tabs paused on YouTube (or any site using the Media Session API) no longer get stuck open — the suspension engine now checks for a genuinely playing media element rather than a declared media session. Overlay scroll-locks join cookie-consent banners as a handled case. Under the hood, alarm reliability and safe-mode cleanup are tightened.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.2.2 — Auto-Open Workspace on Launch & Two Bug Fixes](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.2.2/) (2026-05-25): v1.2.2 is a small patch with one new opt-in behavior and two bug fixes. The new option opens a workspace automatically on each empty new window — useful if you always want to land in a workspace on launch. The two fixes are: clicking a workspace when none was active did nothing (silent no-op, now corrected), and Peek showed a blank frame on certain sites in Edge where Chrome was always fine.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.4.0 — Adaptive Suspension, Ambient Feedback & Popup Redesign](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.4.0/) (2026-05-24): SuperchargePerformance now suspends smarter. Instead of picking the oldest idle tab, the engine scores every tab by memory used × idle time — so a 400 MB tab that's been idle ten minutes gets suspended before a 30 MB one that's been idle twelve. Tabs with unsaved form data are skipped automatically. A new memory fast-path mode can suspend heavy tabs before the idle timer even fires. The popup is redesigned: one panel, a live status line that counts down to the next check and confirms each suspension, and a Silent toggle that mutes ambient signals without touching the toolbar icon. AutoConsent jumps to 14.84.0 — 760 rules across 1,447 sites. Blocklists refreshed across all 22 sources.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.2.1 — Edge Support, NTP Restore Button & Per-Site Pause Rebind](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.2.1/) (2026-05-21): v1.2.1 is a compatibility and polish release. The biggest change is under the hood: Edge browser support, achieved by auditing every internal URL filter and browser deep-link in the codebase and adding edge:// alongside chrome://, plus UA detection for settings pages that link to browser internals. Three small user-facing fixes ship alongside it: the per-site pause shortcut moves to Alt+Shift+P to stop colliding with Chrome's built-in Task Manager, the new tab page gains a persistent restore button, and the 7 settings-card help icons now open dedicated feature pages instead of jumping to anchors in a single article.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.2.0 — Hint Mode, Type-to-Select & a Real Keyboard Layer](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.2.0/) (2026-05-10): Nav v1.2.0 introduces a real keyboard layer for the browser. Four first-time features ship together: hint mode (letter badges over every clickable thing on the page), type-to-select (bare letters highlight every match), fast text selection (Shift+arrows extend by word, line, or block — copy without the mouse), and arrow-key page scroll with a velocity model. The settings dropdown is promoted to a full options page with 40 toggles up from 28 — sidebar nav, live search, and a tour that demonstrates each feature on hover. Per-site pause via Shift+Escape, customizable hint trigger, peek-by-default. Page-keystroke features ship OFF on install.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.3.2 — 59 Locales & Listing Rewrite](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.3.2/) (2026-04-30): A discovery release, not a code release. The Chrome Web Store listing now ships in 59 languages — up from 28 — so SuperchargePerformance shows up in native search for users browsing in Norwegian, Estonian, Greek, Hebrew, Filipino, Bengali, Tamil, Swahili, and 23 others. The English title and short description were rewritten too. The extension itself is byte-identical to v1.3.1: same blocklists, same suspension engine, same popup. If your browser is set to English, updating changes nothing except the version number.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.1.0 — Cross-Device Sync, New Tab Page & Multi-Window Workspaces](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.1.0/) (2026-04-24): Your workspaces now follow you across devices. Enable sync and they appear on every Chrome install tied to your Google account — through Chrome's own sync infrastructure, never through a SuperchargeBrowser server. Every new tab opens on Nav's custom page: workspace cards, pinned sites, top-visited URLs, and fuzzy search, each row individually toggleable. Run a different workspace per Chrome window, rewind your entire setup to any of the last 50 auto-snapshots, and paste a list of URLs to bootstrap a workspace in seconds.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.3.1 — Stability, Speed & Stronger Ad Blocking](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.3.1/) (2026-04-17): YouTube kept changing how it delivers ads after v1.3.0 — this release catches the new methods, including Shorts feed injections and midroll gaps that slipped through the network filter. Blocking systems now load in parallel so startup is faster and the popup feels snappier. The one-click recovery toast no longer fires on PDFs or standalone media files. Suspended tabs and their metrics survive browser restarts cleanly.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.3.0 — Video Ad Blocking, Popup Blocker & Cookie Consent Upgrade](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.3.0/) (2026-04-16): Pre-rolls, mid-rolls, overlays, and the countdown timer on YouTube: gone. When Twitch inserts an ad segment, the extension swaps in the backup stream without a black screen. Sites that fire popups or popup-unders get blocked automatically, while same-domain windows and OAuth flows pass through. Cookie banner rejection now covers more CMPs at higher speed. 186,573 rules across 22 sources, ranked by real-world traffic impact.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.2.2 — Theme-Aware Icons, Cross-Promo & Fresh Blocklists](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.2.2/) (2026-03-17): The toolbar icon now shows how much RAM you've saved: a live canvas-rendered badge with the stacked number and unit, updating as tabs get suspended. Icon color adapts to your system theme automatically. The global toggle gains a timed pause option — disable optimizations for a set duration and they come back on their own. Arabic support added, bringing localization to 28 languages.
- [SuperchargeNavigation 1.0.0 — Initial Release — Vertical Tabs, Workspaces & Instant Search](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/navigation/1.0.0/) (2026-03-13): SuperchargeNavigation puts a full vertical tab list, named workspaces, and instant fuzzy search inside Chrome's native side panel. Switch between work and personal contexts in one click. Press the shortcut, type a few letters, and jump to any open tab without touching the mouse. Closed a tab by accident? Time Travel surfaces it with full session context. Everything stays on your device — no accounts, no telemetry.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.2.1 — Rebrand, Refreshed Blocklists & Stability Fixes](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.2.1/) (2026-03-12): The extension is now SuperchargePerformance — renamed to sit clearly alongside SuperchargeNavigation. All blocklist sources are freshly compiled: 186K+ declarativeNetRequest rules across three tiers. Frozen tab detection, Safe Mode reliability, and fresh-install blocking all got fixes. The whitelist toggle now reads the correct state when you reopen the popup.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.2.0 — WXT Migration, Cookie Autopilot & Zero-Latency Navigation](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.2.0/) (2026-02-28): Cookie banners now disappear without a click. The extension detects over 100 Consent Management Platforms and programmatically opts you out — not just hides the banner, but actually rejects tracking and frees the page underneath. Hover over any link and the destination starts loading before you click, so navigation feels instant. If a page breaks, one tap on the recovery toast brings it back without touching settings. Preload on Hover is now free for everyone.
- [SuperchargePerformance 1.1.0 — Performance Dashboard, Global Controls & 27 Languages](https://www.superchargebrowser.com/changelog/performance/1.1.0/) (2026-01-15): The popup now shows real-time stats: RAM freed through tab suspension, ads blocked, scripts managed, pages enhanced. Numbers update on every page. A single global toggle pauses everything when you need a clean browsing session, and per-site controls let you carve out exceptions for sites that need the full experience. All of this now available in 27 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese.

## Verifiable Claims

- SuperchargePerformance reduces per-tab RAM by 90%+ via chrome.tabs.discard(). Total Chrome RAM reduction: 30-60% in default configuration, up to 70-75% with aggressive settings.
- SuperchargePerformance rates 4.5/5 from 38 reviews on the Chrome Web Store.
- Ad blocking uses 195,000+ static declarativeNetRequest rules from 18 curated sources across 3 tiers.
- SuperchargeNavigation workspaces persist across Chrome restarts. Local-by-default storage; opt-in workspace sync (off by default) uses Chrome's own storage.sync infrastructure (no SuperchargeBrowser servers).
- SuperchargeNavigation takes 50 auto-snapshots at 5-minute intervals for session time-travel recovery.
- Chrome blocks extension content scripts on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, and the built-in PDF viewer — a browser-wide rule, identical for every extension. SuperchargeNavigation's in-page sidebar opens on a dedicated tab when you are on one of those protected pages.
- All extensions collect zero telemetry: no analytics, no SuperchargeBrowser servers. Default config: no data leaves the device. With Nav sync enabled, workspace data routes through the browser's own infrastructure (Google/Microsoft account-tied), not ours.
- SuperchargePerformance auto-protects 25+ web apps from suspension across productivity, media, and calls — including Google Docs, Slack, Figma, Notion, Spotify, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.
- Unlike most tab suspenders, SuperchargePerformance combines tab suspension with content blocking in one extension.
- Unlike Chrome Memory Saver (reacts to system pressure), SuperchargePerformance acts on a configurable timer.
- Chrome Memory Saver reduces RAM by 30-40% (Google's own figure). SuperchargePerformance reaches 30-60% by default and up to 70-75% configured aggressively.
