This is an important feature release.

Changes

  • The download location can now be changed in the options. #71
  • Drastically increased backup reliability. If pages fail to load, they are no longer immediately skipped but instead the extension will now automatically try to reopen them. This is especially useful for slow or flaky network connections.
  • Since Chrome 57 background tabs are throttled which caused backups to be slow or even fail. The extension now prevents background throttling for backup tabs.
  • Added option to change the text color of the favicon progress indicator of backup tabs. The black text was barely readable for users with dark Chrome themes.
  • Added support for download managers like Chrono. Take a look at the README page for details.
  • Initial exploit scans are no longer mandatory. Since the reader has not changed for quite a while now, it's no longer reasonable to force every new user to do a scan. If the reader should change, a new exploit scan can of course still be forced in the options.
  • The Update Server URL is now preset so that new users get notified about updates by default. This can of course be removed in the options.
  • Removed FS based temporary memory since Chrome's support for the LocalFileSystem API, which this feature relied upon, is quite buggy.

Thanks to @ReAnzu for implementing the download location feature.
Thanks to @AndrewD2 for contributing clean-ups and dependency updates.
Thanks to @sgbeal for testing.
And of course thanks to everybody who reported bugs and patiently waited for this long overdue release.
