Core Enhancements & Fixes
- Smarter Force-Dark Mode: The force-dark web extension now detects sites with native dark theme support (
meta color-scheme,prefers-color-schemerules, computed background) before applying overrides to prevent rendering bugs. - Remote Wallpaper Downloads: Set wallpapers directly from remote URLs. Images and videos (
mp4,webm,gif,jpg) are cached locally with progress indicators, and localfile://media can now be used as animated wallpapers. - Session & Endpoint Clearance Fix: Resolved browser and VPN endpoint session clearance issues (#44).
- Multi-Language Support: Expanded localization coverage across 10+ locales (#44).
- UI Improvements: Tab switcher accents now dynamically follow your chosen accent color.
