0.2.1 — 2026-10-12

Changed

  • Removed the broad "access all sites" permission. Pages are now inspected only when you open the popup (activeTab); the only persistent host access is the How Its Built account API.
  • Removed the unused webRequest permission.

Added

  • Sign in with your How Its Built account from the website to see Pro details (versions, confidence and evidence) in the popup.
  • A second scan a few seconds after load catches frameworks that hydrate late (for example React on large apps).

Fixed

  • Single-page apps keep header-based detections after in-app navigation.
  • Modern Angular sites are no longer hidden by a conflicting AngularDart match.
  • Closing a tab while it is being analyzed no longer logs errors.

Added

  • Detects 7,600+ technologies on every page you visit: frameworks, CMS, e-commerce, analytics, CDN, payments and more.
  • Badge with the number of technologies found on the current tab.
  • Popup listing the stack grouped by category, with links to each technology's website.
  • Copy the whole stack as text with one click.
  • Detection runs locally in your browser; the extension sends no data anywhere.
