Release Notes: Cookie Away 4.0

Release Date: November 26, 2025 Version: 4.0.0

🚀 Major Updates

The core detection logic has been completely rewritten to be more robust and intelligent.

Shadow DOM Support: Now scans inside "Shadow DOMs" (encapsulated HTML used by modern web components), finding banners that were previously invisible to the extension.
Global Signal Detection: Instead of relying solely on visual elements, the extension now checks for the "brain" of the cookie system (e.g., window.OneTrust, window.Cookiebot) to guarantee detection even before the banner renders.
Smart Retry Logic: If a banner is detected but animating in, the extension now patiently waits and retries actions instead of failing immediately.

Multi-Language Support: Added support for 15+ languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Polish, and more.
Smart Text Fallback: If a specific button ID isn't found, the extension intelligently scans for "Reject" or "Decline" keywords in the local language.

Per-Tab State Management: Fixed an issue where the popup could show status from a different tab. Now, every tab tracks its own detected provider independently.
Loop Prevention: Advanced protection against "new tab storms" or infinite reload loops if a site fights back.

"Detected CMP" Tag: The popup now displays a small blue tag (e.g., "OneTrust", "Cookiebot") indicating exactly which provider was found and handled on the current page.
Settings Page: A new "Supported Providers" section lists all 40+ supported CMPs.
Export to ZIP: Added a developer feature to export the full extension source code directly from the popup.

Fixed "OneTrust" false positives by ignoring invisible 1x1 pixel tracking containers.
Fixed an issue where the Settings page list wouldn't load.
Fixed "Export ZIP" button functionality.

Cookie Away 4.0 is the most stable and capable version yet, designed to work silently and reliably across the modern web.
