Release Notes

• Browser Extension:
  • FIXED The connection between the background script and the content script could be lost in some cases, causing rules not to be applied correctly. This version includes a new reconnection mechanism to address this issue. (Details: #104)

• Browser Extension:
  • FIXED Safari: A memory leak issue in the native messaging host that caused the extension to consume more memory over time when used with Safari. This issue did not occur in other browsers.
  • FIXED The focus ring of the Enable Rules button shown in the popup was not displayed correctly.
• App (iOS):
  • FIXED My Rules: The background of buttons shown in rule selection mode was not drawn correctly.

Brand Renaming to RedirectWeb​

We changed the brand name to RedirectWeb from Redirect Web. (No space between "Redirect" and "Web".)

The owner and the developer of RedirectWeb remain Manabu Nakazawa, as before.

Changed Support Website​

We moved the support website to redirectweb.net from mshibanami.github.io/redirect-web. Now the old URL will redirect to the new one automatically.

Updated Terms & Privacy Policy​

Since we changed the app’s brand name to RedirectWeb, we also updated our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to reflect the renaming. Find the full diff here.

• Fixed minor UI issues in the native app and the extension popup.

• Fixed an issue where the DNR rule didn't work when opening the browser with a URL (e.g., when clicking a link in another app to open it in the browser).
  • To address this, we changed the DNR rules from Session Rules, which reset every time the browser launches, to Dynamic Rules, which persist across browser launches. Learn more
  • Previously, we intentionally used Session Rules as a workaround for an issue where unnecessary rules sometimes remained enabled. However, since version 8.0.0, this issue has been resolved, so we can now use Dynamic Rules.
