v2.0.1

Portage v2.0

The Universal Swap Update

✨ What's New

• Universal Browser Swap: Portage is no longer locked to a single Chromium ecosystem. You can now migrate your data from Chrome to Firefox, Firefox to Chrome, or simply to a new machine on the same browser that has the Portage extension installed.

• Portage now rebuilds:

  • Full Bookmark trees
  • Browsing History (re-added with original titles and times)
  • Cookies (keeps you signed in across browsers)
  • Open Tabs and Recently Closed Sessions
  • Reading Lists (for Firefox)

• Smart Extension Checklist: Since browser APIs cannot install extensions for you, Portage now automatically generates a clean .txt checklist of your active extensions, complete with direct store-search links for your new browser.

🎨 UI/UX Overhaul

• Brand New Interface: A completely redesigned workspace featuring rounded containers, smooth animations, and a clean layout built on modern design principles.
• Theme-able & Readable: Added native Light/Dark mode support. The palette auto-adjusts to keep text crisp, and the UI defaults to a sleek monochrome aesthetic.
• Live Progress & Status: The export/import screens now feature animated progress bars, live item counts, and per-category status indicators so you always know exactly what is moving.
• Compact Toolbar Popup: Added a quick-access extension popup that shows live counts of your current browser data at a glance.
