New
- Added Reddit feed controls for current Home, News, Popular, All and community pages. Strict mode and work timers hide supported feeds; Warn offers a page-local reveal; Passive and breaks leave feeds available. Individual posts, comments and search remain usable. The legacy

- Improved mode-badge legibility and kept the review prompt from shrinking popup controls.
- Fixed settings locking and synchronization across the popup, Settings and content scripts.
- Improved Instagram Warn-screen recovery on safer routes and during breaks.
- Updated release documentation and strengthened version, fixture and browser-test coverage.
