• Instant Playlist Indexing: Added a brand new API-based loading engine. The extension now loads large playlists lightning-fast behind the scenes, without requiring long and laggy page scrolling.
• Smart Fallbacks: If the fast-loading engine encounters a restricted page, it automatically and gracefully falls back to the scroll-indexing mode so you never miss any videos.
• Smooth Cleanup: Improved background resource cleanup when you leave a playlist page, making the extension lighter on browser memory.

• Creator & Channel Search: You can now search for videos by the channel name, not just the video title!
• Default Search Targets: Customize whether you search by video titles, channels, or both under the extension settings dashboard.
• Power-User Search Prefix: Type @ before your search term (e.g., @Google) to search only for specific channels instantly.

• Fully Localized Assets: Removed all remote typography queries and bundled font styles locally within the extension package. This prevents remote tracking leaks and respects strict privacy standards.
• Minimized Permissions: Removed unused permissions to ensure the extension only accesses the minimum data required to search your playlists.
• Rate-Limit Protections: Smoothened storage saving settings when using the theme color picker, preventing extension disconnects.
