Changelog

Browser Extension ๐Ÿ’ป Win/Mac/Linux

v6.0 - 08/10/2026
โœจ NEW modern look: rounded side menu, menus, messages and mini tutorial, cleaner top-bar buttons in the same places and sizes, the same on every site
๐ŸŒ™ NEW Dark Mode in the side menu: AUTO (like your computer), ON or OFF
๐ŸŒ‘ NEW Dark skin: makes light pages dark and leaves dark pages as they are
๐Ÿ“ NEW top-bar button: the window goes back to its default size and position in one click
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ The window opens on the screen you’re using and grows on bigger screens (1440p, 4K), in its usual place
๐Ÿ›Ÿ Safer window: if a monitor is unplugged or the place doesn’t fit, the window opens on the main screen instead of not opening
๐ŸŽฅ NEW Video of the window: 5, 15 or 30 seconds, your own time, or start and stop yourself (saved as MP4)
๐ŸŽ“ The mini tutorial now shows every option: the side menu (Theme – Skin Color, Multi Window – Account, Incognito, Changelogโ€ฆ) and the new buttons, without scrolling the page
๐Ÿ”„ After an update or a restart, the open window shows “click here to reload”, so the top bar keeps working
๐Ÿ’ป YouTube sits right under the top bar on every page: videos, search, channels, Subscriptions and Settings (search results were too low)
๐Ÿž Side menu: Extensions Catalog, Changelog and Rate & Review open again, also the Changelog link in the update message
๐Ÿ‘ฅ NEW “New Window & Account”: open a second window with another account, side by side (turn on “Allow in Incognito” for the extension)
๐ŸชŸ New Window opens a little to the side, so you see both windows
๐ŸŽจ Theme – Skin Color reworked: the skin covers the whole site while the top bar and menus keep their colours, “None” really clears it and “Invert” is now a real dark mode ๐ŸŒ™
๐Ÿ”— Right-click โ€บ “Open in Red Messenger for YouTube” now also on youtu.be links
๐Ÿž Round of Bugfixes: the top bar shows on the first open, SideBar/WideBar work at the first click after you resize the window, Screenshot always takes the extension window
๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ News & Tips: pictures load on every site and the messages show at most once a day
๐ŸŽ“ Mini tutorial and popup buttons look right on every site
๐Ÿ“ Top bar: the menu button sits in line with the other buttons on every site, and nothing under the bar blocks clicks on the page
๐Ÿ”’ Security improvements and no more warnings on the extension’s Errors page
