[0.8.2] - 2026/08/12

Fixes

General

  • Check current visibility of controls before sending back button - #159
  • Fixed player state events relying on the Force Max Quality setting (clock and SponsorBlock overlay missed visibility updates)
  • Fixed seek-burst notifications not updating their text when the same message was already on screen
  • Optimized some files not using shared helpers, enabling less resource/object usage
  • Twemoji 16.0.1 is used for emoji fix on webOS 3/4, but version 17.0.2 is imported in package.json. Matched both to 16.0.1

SponsorBlock

  • Fixed manual skip segments causing notification buildup - #151
  • Additional fixes to the skip logic — #141
    • Race condition: a same-position or backwards seek could leave isSkipping stuck true until manually seeking again.
    • Race condition: the yt-player-state-change "playing" event could fire while video.paused was still true, so the timeupdate listener would fail to re-attach and segments would stop getting skipped for the rest of the video
  • Fixed sponsorblock colored overlays sometimes disappearing and not reattaching after exiting a sponsorblock segment
  • Fixed SponsorBlock colored segment overlay not functioning properly if the video was restarted from the endscreen

ui.js / SponsorBlock-UI.js

  • Fixed a typo in ui.js - window.sponsorblock?.buildOverlay() -> window.sponsorblock?.drawOverlay()
  • UI.js, SponsorBlock-UI.js: Load icons locally

Babel

  • Reverted targets: {} so that it properly reads the .browserslistrc file

index.ts

  • Fixed resolveCommand allocating an array on every call

adblock.js

  • Converted RESPONSE_NEEDLE_RE to a simple data.x check as it eliminates a regex scan when the data is already parsed at this point
  • Fixed some listener removals

utils.js

CustomEventTarget

  • Removed unused code

return-dislike.js

  • Removed dummy.com placeholder domain

Changes

General

  • (Debugging) Moved console log for "Resolving" to debug flag, preventing pile up of console logs
  • Consolidated all small polyfills into polyfills.js - previously some overlap between userScript.js, utils.js, ui.js, and SponsorBlock.js.
  • Removed ~350 lines of dead and duplicated code. Shared helpers for element lookups, caching and polyfills now live in one place instead of being reimplemented per file

SponsorBlock

  • Moved sponsorblock colored segment overlays to a sibling of the progress bar, preventing the app from constantly removing the css rules and redrawing

json-stringify.js

  • Use a breadth-first search with max depth of 6
  • Remove deep cloning (structuredClone) in favor of Boolean mutation (NoAd false to true)
  • Remove fallback clone method which can corrupt non-serializable data. New version operates on the original object itself, so it doesn't require a clone

Optimizations

SponsorBlock.js

  • Reduced MutationObserver coverage. Replaced the single attributes + subtree: true observer with two narrower observers: a childList-only subtree observer (detects the progress bar being destroyed/recreated) and an attribute observer pinned directly to the tracked bar element. Eliminates per-animation-frame mutation callbacks caused by YouTube's own style writes on playhead/buffer descendants.
  • Eliminated redundant reflows in overlay positioning (_syncOverlayPosition) when nothing changed.
  • Build segment description strings (toFixed) only when a skipchain is identified instead of anticipating the next skip to be a chainskip (also on every seeked event).
  • SponsorBlock binds to the video as soon as it appears instead of polling for it, so segments are ready sooner
  • Compile constant arrays for 'categories' and 'actionTypes' once globally instead of on every video load
  • Convert div.style.backgroundColor, div.style.width, div.style.top to div.style.cssText
  • executeChainSkip: break loop whenever we find the next segment past the current time instead of looping through the entire array

Return YouTube Dislike

  • Return Dislike no longer polls in the background for the entire video. It now checks for ~10 seconds after load and when you interact with the panel, then goes idle - noticeably less CPU during playback on older TVs

Shorts Screensaver

  • Fixed a slow memory leak in the Shorts screensaver keep-alive that grew for as long as Shorts stayed open

ui.js

  • Shortcut buttons respond faster - a redundant full-page element search was running on every keypress
  • Refactor play/pause logic to eliminate unnecessary code execution
  • Event hander: move input/text area fast-fail check towards the top of the function to eliminate unnecessary code from running
  • Skip Chapter: Eliminate double looping of chapter calculation
  • Toggle comments: Replace || operator with a comma to do one query selector DOM pass instead of two
  • Eliminate redundant traversals in green button menu logic

Added

buffer-limit.js

  • Testing fix for #157 where memory on older TVs is very scarce
  • Added buffer-limit.js to src/hooks
  • Caps video buffer playback to 30 seconds on webOS 3 and webOS 4 by trimming playback range behind playhead
  • Omitted buffer-limit.js from modern build

Thumbnail Quality

  • Added support for Max Thumbnail Quality on search pages
