Latest version
Version 1.5.1
Released Apr 8, 2026 - 57.36 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterVersion 1.5.1 — The "Midnight Glass" Update
Hybrid Search Engine: Re-engineered the validation core to use browser-native search for 100% accuracy on complex HTML, while retaining our signature word-level mismatch detection.
Premium Midnight Glass UI: A completely redesigned interface featuring an elegant glassmorphism theme, smooth animations, and a high-contrast dark mode for reduced eye strain during long QC sessions.
Context-Aware Feedback: Comic bubbles are now "smarter"—they only appear for word-level mismatches inside sentences, while standalone list errors are reported cleanly in the results popup.
Randomization Resilience: GhostCheck now automatically recognizes when survey options have been randomized/shuffled and treats them as a "Perfect Match."
Advanced Normalization: Expanded support for professional documentation symbols, including fractions (½, ¼), trademark variants, and stylized bullets.
Intelligent Fuzzy Logic: Hardened mismatch detection to prevent false positives and provide descriptive "Expected vs Found" comparisons.Source code released under MIT License
Older versions
Version 1.5.0
Released Apr 4, 2026 - 55.04 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterWelcome to a smarter, safer GhostCheck! We've made massive under-the-hood upgrades to make your survey quality assurance faster and more accurate.
✨ New: Smart Logic Normalizer: GhostCheck now automatically recognizes and ignores survey programming metadata! Bracketed instructions like [RANDOMIZE] or {IF S1=1} are automatically skipped, drastically reducing false alarms.
✨ New: Dynamic Piping Recognition: Variables like {{City}}, [Name], or (Answer) are no longer flagged as missing errors. Instead, they are highlighted in Purple in the Results Popup as verified "Piped Variables," allowing you to quickly confirm their placement.
🛠️ Improved: The Comic Bubble UI has been refined for better anchoring and visibility on complex survey platforms.
🔒 Security & Performance: Completely rewritten the UI rendering engine to eliminate innerHTML usage, providing a faster plugin that fully complies with strict modern browser security standards.Source code released under MIT License
Version 1.4.1
Released Mar 26, 2026 - 48.08 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterCore Functionality & Intent
GhostCheck is a productivity tool for survey programmers to validate clipboard text against webpage content. It is triggered exclusively by a double-click gesture on the page.
Permissions Rationale
clipboardRead: Essential for the core functionality; the extension reads the clipboard content to compare it against the visible text on the active tab.
activeTab & <all_urls>: Required to traverse the DOM, identify text nodes, and inject highlighting/UI elements (toasts and popup) on the specific pages the user is validating.
Security & Privacy
User Gesture: Clipboard access and validation are only triggered by an explicit dblclick event (see content.js:432).
Data Privacy: No data is collected, stored, or transmitted to any external server. All validation logic and processing are performed locally within the user's browser.
Performance: The script uses efficient DOM traversal (skipping script, style, and svg tags) and batch-updates styles to ensure no performance degradation during validation.Source code released under MIT License
