Changelog

v12.0 - 07/10/2026

✨ NEW modern look: rounded side menu, menus, messages and mini tutorial, cleaner top-bar buttons in the same places and sizes, the same on every site
πŸŒ™ NEW Dark Mode in the side menu: AUTO (like your computer), ON or OFF
πŸŒ‘ NEW Dark skin: makes light pages dark and leaves dark pages as they are
πŸ“ NEW top-bar button: the window goes back to its default size and position in one click
πŸ–₯️ The window grows on bigger screens (1440p, 4K), in its usual place
πŸ›Ÿ Safer window: if a monitor is unplugged or the place doesn’t fit, the window opens on the main screen instead of not opening
πŸŽ₯ NEW Video of the window: 5, 15 or 30 seconds, your own time, or start and stop yourself (saved as MP4)
πŸŽ“ The mini tutorial now shows every option: the side menu (Theme – Skin Color, Multi Window – Account, Incognito, Changelog…) and the new buttons, without scrolling the page
πŸ”„ Edge: after an update or a restart, the open window shows “click here to reload”, so the top bar keeps working
πŸ‘₯ NEW “New Window & Account”: open a second window with another account, side by side (allow the extension in private windows: “Allow in InPrivate” on Edge, “Run in Private Windows” on Firefox)
πŸͺŸ New Window opens a little to the side, so you see both windows
🎨 Theme – Skin Color reworked: the skin covers the whole site while the top bar and menus keep their colours, “None” really clears it and “Invert” is now a real dark mode πŸŒ™
πŸ’¬ Reddit Chat in full window: the “Chats” header and the message bar are no longer cut
πŸ’» Short pages like Create post fit the window (no extra scrollbar)
🐞 The side-menu icons line up with their text
πŸ”— Right-click β€Ί “Open in Companion for Reddit” now also on redd.it links
πŸ”” The icon badge shows new chat messages and notifications as they arrive, and no more “0” badge
🐞 Round of Bugfixes: the top bar shows on the first open, SideBar/WideBar work at the first click after you resize the window, Screenshot always takes the extension window
πŸ–ΌοΈ News & Tips: pictures load on every site and the messages show at most once a day
πŸŽ“ Mini tutorial and popup buttons look right on every site
πŸ“ Top bar: the menu button sits in line with the other buttons on every site, and nothing under the bar blocks clicks on the page
πŸ”’ Security improvements and no more warnings on the extension’s Errors page
