Latest version
Version 1.5.3
Released Aug 20, 2026 - 741.96 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and laterCorrects the extension's store summary, which described "10 layers of protection." The extension ships nine detection engines; the count of ten had included one behaviour that lives inside another engine and one feature that is opt-in and off by default. The summary now says what actually ships.
Also included from 1.5.2: the toolbar popup no longer gets stuck on "Loading Click Protect..." and shows an explicit error with a Retry button if it cannot reach the background page.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
