Release Notes for Extension

V8.0.20

V8.0.1 through V8.0.19
Fixes bugs and inconsistencies from the previous major release.
The goal of V8 is to be compatible with Chrome’s Manifest V3 changes. This required a complete rewrite of the codebase. In the process we tweaked the interface to be slightly easier to read, and also adds more customisation options. If things you relied on previously don’t work anymore, please let us know at support@feeder.co. We’re listening!
V8.0.0
This version is a complete rewrite to support new latest Manifest V3 platform.
Includes a polished new interface! Everything is exactly where you expect it, just a little bigger and easier to read.
