  ### Version 1.3: Polish & Stability Update
  
  This update focuses on making Autostash more reliable and enjoyable to use, with a major fix for redirects and several UI improvements based on user feedback.
  
  **Bug Fixes:**
  -   **Redirects Fixed:** The URL redirect feature has been completely rebuilt with a simpler, more reliable engine. Redirects are now instant and work as expected.
  -   **Data Migration:** Fixed a critical bug where existing users could lose their rules after updating. A new migration script now runs seamlessly in the background to ensure all old rules are preserved.
  
  **UI Improvements:**
  -   **Improved Readability:** Long URLs in the rule list are no longer cut off. You can now hover over any URL to see the full text in a tooltip.
  -   **Better Tab Navigation:** The "LocalStorage" and "Redirects" switcher buttons are now larger and easier to click.
  -   **Enhanced Styling:** The active switcher tab is now clearly highlighted, and the key/value pairs in the rule list are color-coded for faster scanning.

  A simple and powerful developer tool that automatically sets localStorage values or creates URL redirects every time you visit a matching page.
  
    Features:
    • Set localStorage values using wildcard URL patterns (e.g., https://.myapp.com/)
    • Create URL redirects with exact matching
    • Organize rules in collapsible groups
    • Import/Export rules as JSON to back up or share across machines
    • Search and filter rules instantly
    • Smart suggestions from the current page's localStorage
    • Badge counter showing active rules on the current page
  
    Use cases:
    • Toggle feature flags across development environments
    • Force A/B test groups
    • Bypass login pages during local development
    • Dismiss annoying banners permanently
    • Simplify complex URLs with redirects
  
    Privacy-focused — no data is ever collected or sent anywhere. All rules stay in your browser.
  
    What's new in v1.4:
    • Import/Export rules as JSON files
    • Search & filter rules by pattern, key, value, or group
    • Rule groups with collapsible sections
    • Firefox & Edge support
    • Faster popup load and reduced storage reads
    • Keyboard navigation and screen reader support
    • Smaller package size (optimized icons)
