RumbleX v3.26.0

FS-Access folder picker for Batch Download, offline-aware Channel Archive queue, wallet QR-modal selector entry, and a repo-hygiene fix that resyncs package.json with the shipping extension version.

What's new

Batch download — pick a folder once, save N files into it (Chrome / Edge)

  • New Pick folder button in the BatchDownload bottom bar. Picked folder name appears as a green → <name> chip; Clear folder reverts to the default Downloads path. Picker is hidden on Firefox MV2 and on Chromium older than 86.
  • Download flow tries the File System Access path first (fetch(directMp4) → Response.body.pipeTo(writableFile)). Any failure — permission revoked between sessions, partial write, network error, unsupported browser — falls back transparently to the existing chrome.runtime.sendMessage({action:'download'}) path. Worst case = identical to v3.25 behaviour.
  • Permission is re-requested at the top of every batch via a user-gesture pre-flight so the prompt fires deterministically before parallel workers start.
  • Folder handle persists across SW restarts in a dedicated IndexedDB database (rx-fs-access / handles).

Channel archive queue — auto-pause while offline

  • New setting archiveQueuePauseOnOffline (default ON). The chrome.alarms archive tick short-circuits when navigator.onLine === false so jobs aren't burned on guaranteed-fail network ops while you're on a flight, tethered to a flaky hotspot, or temporarily firewalled.
  • Jobs stay pending and resume on the next online tick. Flip the setting OFF to restore the prior always-tick behaviour.

Selector registry

  • New wallet.paymentModal entry anchored against /-htmx/wallet/payment/qr-modal. Conservative stable+fallback — no functional code uses it yet; the entry lands now so v3.27+ tip-jar work is a one-selector tweak away once a logged-in MHTML capture arrives.
  • Registry size 51 → 52. Selector regression harness 85 pass / 0 fail across 4 fixtures.

Repo hygiene

  • package.json version bumped from a stale 3.22.0 (left behind by the v3.22 → v3.25 churn) back into sync with the shipping extension version.
  • CI release gate hardened: the selector regression harness now skips gracefully when Sample Pages/ is missing on GitHub-hosted runners (the fixtures are gitignored for privacy), and the workflow's Release step now creates the GitHub Release if it doesn't already exist instead of silently no-op'ing on gh release upload.

Install

Chrome / Edge / Brave (recommended path):

  1. Download RumbleX-chrome.zip below and unzip it anywhere on your machine.
  2. Navigate to chrome://extensions, flip on Developer mode (top-right toggle).
  3. Click Load unpacked, point at the unzipped folder.

Firefox:

  1. Download RumbleX-firefox.zip below.
  2. Navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
  3. Click Load Temporary Add-on, point at the zip.

CRX self-host is blocked by Chromium 75+ regardless of signing key — chrome.runtime.install from a third-party origin always rejects with CRX_REQUIRED_PROOF_MISSING. The ZIP + Load-unpacked path is the only reliable third-party install today.

Integrity

Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt (attached). Pinned mux.js SHA-256 in extension/build.sh continues to gate the build process.

Notes

  • Catalog parity: 207 → 209 across all four catalogs (content.js _defaults, popup.js DEFAULTS, options.js DEFAULTS, options.js META).
  • node --check clean across all four JS files.
  • Selector harness 85 pass / 0 fail across the 4 baseline MHTML fixtures.
