Changelog
========
== 2.0.0 (2025-03-03) ==
- Migrate to Manifest V3, since Manifest V2 is being obsoleted. Otherwise, the Chrome Web Store would have disabled and removed this extension. (Thanks sfllaw for the patch.)
- Remove support for JavaScript bookmarklets, because Chrome and other browsers enforce Content Security Policy on bookmarklets. (Thanks sfllaw for the patch.)
- Fix the built-in search so it doesn't break on bookmark folders. (Thanks sfllaw for the patch.)
- Modify small icon to make it look better in dark mode.

== 1.4.3 (2018-08-19) ==

== 1.4.2.1 (2013-08-09) ==

- JavaScript bookmarklets now requires a lesser permission. If you had enabled JavaScript bookmarklets before, you'll need to re-enable it.

- Fixed a minor bug which sometimes causes the wrong page to be opened.

- Made the searching algorithm selection option more clearer.
