v1.0.0 - Initial Release: Base64 Auto Decoder
🎉 Welcome to Base64 Auto Decoder (v1.0.0)
Base64 Auto Decoder is a lightweight, zero-dependency Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that automatically detects, decodes, and replaces Base64 strings on webpages with readable text and a one-click copy button.
No more selecting text, opening context menus, or pasting into external decoder tools!
✨ Key Features
- ⚡ Automatic Detection & In-Place Replacement: Scans visible text nodes upon page load and dynamically handles SPA content (via
MutationObserver). - 🛡️ Smart Anti-False-Positive Engine:
- Full UTF-8 support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, emojis, and special characters.
- Intelligent filtering to prevent false positives on normal English words, Git commit hashes, UUIDs, and pure numbers.
- 📋 One-Click Copy: A discreet copy icon (📋) appears next to the decoded text with instant visual feedback (
Copied!). - 🔍 View Original on Hover: Hover over any decoded text to see the original Base64 string in a tooltip.
- 🎛️ Minimalist ON/OFF Toggle: Clean popup interface with an iOS-style toggle. Turning it off instantly restores original strings on the page.
- 🌐 Built-in i18n: Native support for both English and Simplified Chinese (
zh_CN). - 🔒 100% Privacy-First: Completely runs offline in your browser. Zero tracking, zero data collection.
