NeatTube v1.3.0 Released: Modern YouTube Compatibility and Performance Hardening

NeatTube v1.3.0 is here. This release is a major maintenance update designed to keep the extension rock-solid following YouTube's recent move toward a modern "ViewModel" architecture. We've overhauled how the extension interacts with YouTube's core code to ensure your experience remains clean, distraction-free, and predictable.

What's New in v1.3.0

• Seamless YouTube Integration: We've updated our "Shadow DOM" logic to handle YouTube's latest UI changes. This ensures that the Dislike count, Shorts removal, and Members-only filtering stay accurate and stable even on the newest versions of the site.
• Rock-Solid Auto HD Quality: We've completely overhauled our resolution-forcing logic. NeatTube now talks more deeply with YouTube's internal player to ensure your preferred quality (like 4K or 1080p) is respected across every single video you watch.
• Reinforced Auto Picture-in-Picture: The "Auto PiP on tab switch" feature is now much more resilient. It now actively stays in sync with the video player, making it far less likely to skip a beat when you switch tasks.
• UI & Readability Polish: We've refined the contrast and font sizes in the popup and settings menu to make the interface cleaner and easier to read in both light and dark modes.
• Improved Troubleshooting: For those who enjoy the technical side, we've revamped our Debug Mode with a color-coded logging system that makes it much easier to see NeatTube's logic in action.

This update is all about future-proofing NeatTube against the rapid pace of YouTube's updates. As always, the extension will update automatically in your browser.
