The behaviour of the Blacken and Whiten commands has been altered to
disregard the background. This makes them more useful as manual overrides
of text colour.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 1.1
Version 2.3.4
Released Oct 19, 2018 - 56.75 KBWorks with firefox 56.0 and laterThis adds some more tuning parameters. The speed on complicated
pages has also been increased.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 1.1
Version 2.3.3
Released Oct 18, 2018 - 56.03 KBWorks with firefox 56.0 and laterSome web sites, e.g. the Washington Post, generate large numbers of apparent changes to the page, up to several hundred per second. (I suspect a Google script is to blame). This overloaded the Blacken add-on which clogged Firefox. This was most apparent on Windows. This version copes better with the problem.
Also there is a fix that makes the whitelists work again.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 1.1
