Changelog

All notable changes to DOM Scanner Pro. Versions match the Chrome Web Store package.

2.0.4 — 23 October 2026

Pending saves and imports cannot restore data after Clear all data; concurrent saves enforce the report limit atomically.
Reopened saved reports retain their draft, original observation context and page address across view changes.
Fractional screenshot redactions cover both edges completely, including reverse drags.
Clear all data removes in-memory report drafts and comparison state across open panels.
Activation and Stop wait for stored sessions to load before changing intent generations.
Contrast checks require review for gradients over opaque colours and ancestor compositing effects.

Dropdowns have a clearer arrow with space on the right, a hover state, and long options end with an ellipsis instead of running under the arrow.

How to use, Privacy policy and Report a problem in Settings now open the usage guide, privacy policy and support page included in the extension, so they work offline. Previously they pointed to a page the public could not open. Support now goes through the Chrome Web Store listing.

The usage guide now lists what the extension cannot inspect, and the privacy policy covers clipboard copies and support diagnostics.

Focus mode dims everything on the page except the selected element. Turn it on in Settings › Overlay layers or from the command menu.
Findings you mark "Not an issue" are remembered for that site, so they stay dismissed the next time you scan. Clearing all data in Settings removes them.
A token file loaded in Review can be saved with a project preset and loaded again later.
The Selectors card says when the element is inside a frame, and which one.

Scans hand the browser back to the page more readily, so the page's own animations, timers and typing stay responsive while a scan runs.

A complete rebuild. The extension keeps its name and store listing, and everything else is new.

Nothing runs on a page until you click the toolbar icon, press Alt+Shift+D, or allow a site yourself. The old version asked for access to every website and loaded on all of them.
Inspection now happens in a side panel, with a small overlay on the page. The overlay never restyles the page; pages that react to extra elements switch to panel-only inspection automatically.
The toolbar badge shows ON only after the page confirms inspection has started. It stays correct after navigation, tab closing, browser restarts of the extension's background worker, and updates.

Inspect: size and position with a box-model diagram, typography with font status, flex and grid gaps, image and SVG details, text contrast, validated selectors, filtered computed styles, CSS rule sources, stacking and clipping explanations, and keyboard-only selection.
Compare: two pinned elements side by side, with measured differences in plain language, CSS to match, and saved snapshots for comparing staging with production.
Review: horizontal overflow, accessibility rules (axe-core, bundled), contrast, target sizes and labels, focus order walkthrough, design outliers, palette and type boards, CSS variables with token mapping, asset references, layout shift recording, viewport resizing, and checklists.
Reports: screenshots with permanent redaction, annotations, issue reports with four templates, and Markdown, JSON, PNG and ZIP exports. Saved locally only when you choose.
Task presets (Inspect, Design review, QA review, Learn), simple and advanced views, light and dark themes, a command menu (Ctrl/⌘ K), and a practice playground that works offline.

The "Share Feedback" button that appeared on inspected pages. Support is linked from the panel instead.

First Chrome Web Store release: colored element outlines and a hover tooltip shown while holding Ctrl or Command.
