Release Notes

No commits are tagged yet I'm just going to do a rough time line of what has been accomplished.

09/2025

Milestones

• native support added for toggling sidebar -> toggles UI, removed dep on userchrome toggle extended
  • small edge case bugs exist, i.e occasional clipping of url icon-box visible on mozilla pages in Zen Mode
• support for "show sidebar"
  • main maintainers don't use this, support would mostly need to be community driven moving forward

Enhancements

• utilize a ::before or ::after background html element for a fully relative scale scaling urlbar background
  • improve look and feel (perfect alignment between sideberry tabs and url bar)

08/2025

• align all icons between sideberry, urlbar, and nav header
• add a subtle horizontal divider between nav header and url/tabs for easier scanning
• bug: readded userchrome dependency for stability, native support currently has race conditions with firefoxs UI that seem solveable with some CSS tricks possibly, or re-working the toggle strategy on subelements of navigator toolbox, rather than the entire toolbox.
• bug: discovered that notifications are a thing that needs handling, just slapped position absolute on the notification container and it sort of works! it should appear in the tab area, overlayed on a higher priority layer. So far seems okay.
• readme: noted some gotcha behavior that could arise from missing notifications
• userchrome toggle extended dependency removed, adding native support for toggling UI on sidebar hidden
• added security alerts, especially useful when the UI is hidden
• alignment touch up on some elements
• explore padlock transitions and hiding, currently the author prefers leaving it alone for now
• bug: identity-icon-text in some contexts is now hidden, i.e chrome/extension settings, to prevent blocking url bar
• implement https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/userchrome-toggle-extended/
• create a new userChrome.css theme with the url bar built-into the sidebar
• set ctrl+alt+c by default to toggle both the navigator toolbox and sideberry together
• add project to github, essential configuration supporting top url bar
