Summary
AI summaryTake a Break runs as a background alarm that survives popup or browser closes, redirecting tabs with a high‑contrast "Time's Up" flash card.
Full changelog
- Instant CSS now hides Home/Shorts nav chips before YouTube finishes rendering, eliminating the blink of distraction.
- Added an optional Light Mode theme so the popup matches whatever brightness keeps you most alert.
- General popup cleanup: refined layout spacing, clearer section dividers, and more consistent copy so every control explains itself at a glance.
- Custom image uploads are temporarily paused in favor of a “Coming soon” placeholder to prevent broken galleries while the feature is rebuilt.
- Parent/child toggles are now context-aware—Redirect-to-Subscriptions and Hide Playlists only appear when their main switches are enabled, reducing popup clutter.
- Take a Break now runs on a background alarm so the countdown survives popup/browser closes and flips the extension back on the millisecond the timer ends.
- Every open YouTube tab gets a high-contrast “Time’s Up” flash card plus an immediate redirect to youtube.com, making it impossible to linger after a break.
- The break header shows clear 5/10/15 minute presets, live countdown text, and snaps back to the default logo once focus mode returns.
