v0.5 - Stable Release Download Release
- site specific CSS files. this was done so the browser will cache it to avoid the "flicker" effect from hiding elements with javascript. each site gets its own so we're not loading unneccessary css rules for each site. site specific files (css/js) will be put in the /sites folder and referenced with matches in the manifest
- cleaned up data.json to remove unncessary elements such as elements. it really now only needs to know what cookies to munch on
- removed dependency of client side JS (hide.js) and global extension css (hide.css)
- general code refactoring
- added support for nytimes.com, washingtonpost.com, desmoinesregister.com
v0.2 - First Release Download Release
- localstorage - save data in localstorage for access from background.js and hide.js
- hide.js - hide annoying popups on front end
- version 1.0 of data.json supports Des Moines Register, Washington Post, NYTimes.
