Changelog

  description

  The extension will automatically render pages in full width mode on load and for new page content (chats). If the changes are not applied, please reload the site. Its lightweight design ensures compatibility with most sites. This is suitable for use with widescreen and large monitors, particularly in website applications where the width is restricted, resulting in a waste of screen space. 
  
  v2.0.0 - Core updates
  - Refined core logic for solid website compatibility
  - New pure AMOLED design
  - Replaced global `alwaysOn` boolean with domain-specific settings
  - Added storage structure (JSON: import/export)
  - New domains default to `enabled: true` for automatic activation
  - Subdomains maintain separate stored settings with autosave
  
  v2.0.0 - Performance Considerations
  - Content script only injected on enabled domains (reduced memory footprint)
  - MutationObserver continues to monitor for dynamic content
  - 100ms delay on message sending to ensure script initialization
  - Dynamic hover-state and dropdown support (partially)
  - Toggle (on/off) reliability {bug fixed}

  Widens your view: Renders pages in full-width on load and for new content (chats). Stores site-specific toggle states. Lightweight and compatible with most sites. Ideal for widescreen monitors to eliminate wasted space, though it may break some websites.
  
  v2.5.0 changes:
  + design and user-experience improvement (animations, font, logo).
  + added global bool: "Default" state for new domains.
  + added "chrome.storage.sync" backend. domain states now sync across devices. manual import/export remains optional.
  - removed "Exclude Dynamic UI" bool due to limited use-case/redundancy.
