Release Notes

What's New in Version 1.8:

Improved Code Structure: Utility functions have been modularized for easier maintenance and enhanced performance.
Enhanced Error Handling: Additional error handling ensures smoother operation, especially when processing various types of URLs and redirects.
Reduced Permissions: The webRequest and webRequestBlocking permissions were removed to improve security, as they were unnecessary for this extension’s core functionality.
Optimized Console Output: Non-critical console logs have been removed to reduce clutter and focus only on essential error messages.
Better Input Validation: Enhanced checks on URL, IP, and hash inputs to provide more reliable VirusTotal lookups.

This update brings a cleaner and more reliable experience for users who rely on VirusTotal Lookup for quick security assessments.
