Version 1.6.0
Released Aug 23, 2025 - 360.24 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterRelease Notes
v1.6.0
Instant “steady” Matrix rain: columns now start at random rows + a short warm-up, so the screen looks full immediately on load and resize.
Smoother & crisper animation: switched to requestAnimationFrame with a timer accumulator and HiDPI scaling (devicePixelRatio).
Performance & stability: no “catch-up” spikes when pausing/resuming or after resize (timers reset, timebase updated while paused).
Terminal upgrades:
matrix warmstart <on|off> – toggle instant steady start
matrix speed <ms> – adjust frame interval
matrix density <0.90–0.999> – tweak trail respawn probability
matrix pause / matrix resume
open <url|keywords> – open a URL or search DuckDuckGo
links add|list|open|remove – simple quick links (stored locally)
Accessibility: respects prefers-reduced-motion (pauses the rain).
UX polish: debounced resize; canvas is click-through; minor visual tweaks.
Manifest: added a stable Firefox ID under browser_specific_settings.gecko.id.
No permissions added; no data leaves the browser. User preferences are kept in localStorage.Source code released under MIT License
