2.0.0#

A ground-up rebuild focused on security, rigor and customization.

Blocking

• Rule kinds: site, page/section, word, regular expression; always-allow exceptions; schedules.
• Word and regex rules can also match page titles.
• Single-page-app navigations are caught; open tabs are swept when rules change.
• Quick packs for common distraction categories.
• Addresses spelled with a root dot (example.com.) or escaped letters (/%73horts) are blocked too.
• Words that occur in every address (tt, ://, www) are refused instead of blocking the whole web.

Security

• Service worker is the single source of truth; all actions are validated and checked against the lock.
• PBKDF2-SHA256 password hashing with throttling; recovery code never bypasses Absolute Mode.
• No more tabs permission; strict CSP with connect-src 'none'; data no longer synced to the cloud.
• Tampering with storage during Absolute Mode is reverted.
• Rules are evaluated by a matcher that cannot backtrack, so no rule, typed or imported, can stall the extension; requests are handled one at a time, so parallel password guesses cannot outrun the lockout.
• Tab checks are paced to one per second per tab. Word and regex rules can still be probed by a website that tests guesses; the rule editor recommends site or page rules for anything private.

Customization

• Fully customizable block page (themes, layouts, local image/video background, quotes, buttons, redirect, temptation delay) with live preview.

Other

• New popup and dashboard, new icon, five languages, automatic migration from 1.x.
• Tooling: pnpm, TypeScript 7, Vite 8, Vitest, Playwright end-to-end tests.
