Latest version
Version 1.1
Released Jun 27, 2025 - 33.24 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterVersion 1.1: Smarter Overlays & Performance Boost
This update addresses a key performance and usability issue with the "Show alt text overlay" feature.
Key Changes:Overlay is Now Tab-Specific: Enabling the alt text overlay will now only affect your current, active tab. It will no longer automatically activate across all other tabs, providing a more intuitive and predictable experience.
Improved Performance: By limiting the overlay logic to only the tab where it's needed, the extension now uses significantly fewer resources. This prevents browser slowdowns, especially when you have many tabs open.
Smarter Behavior: The overlay for a tab will automatically deactivate when the tab is closed or refreshed. To re-enable it, simply open the popup on that tab and toggle the switch again.
The "Show tooltip on hover" feature remains a global setting that will persist across all your tabs as before.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
