    Based on feedback by Phil Reilly via email.

v12.1.0

New

  • Scroll To Top Button now works* on a larger number of websites.

    * Advanced and Expert button modes only.

Fixed

v12.0.0

Breaking changes

  • The way the on-page button(s) loads some helper files, such as jQuery and jQuery plugins, has been improved to avoid conflicts with page's own jQuery and/or other scripts.

Fixed

  • The button(s) wouldn't work in Firefox on some sites/sometimes.

    Issue reported by gomers. via email.

    Thank you for recording it on video!

v11.2.0

New

  • Added a new button mode: Scroll to bottom (Basic).

    Find it in the context (right-click) menu, when the menu is enabled in Options.

    Idea by Y A and Lucian Andries via email, Ilias Karim and anonymous via the feedback form.

v11.1.0

New

  • Added a new setting in Options: “Infinite scroll down”.

    Available in the “Flip between top & bottom” and “Dual arrows” Expert button modes only.

    (Disabled by default.)

    Idea by UNIVAC-Colonel-Panic, Pradeep Kumar Salwan (via Chrome Web Store), Rick (via the feedback form), TED T, Hosa.

Fixed

  • In Options, “Scroll up speed” wouldn't appear after switching from Basic or Advanced to Expert.

Improved

  • In Options, split “Button settings” into “Scroll settings” and “Button display settings”.

  • In Options, added an “i” (“information”) icon to indicate there is a tooltip.

Changed

  • Disabled requests to report auto-detected issues, such as:

    • Expert mode activation issue.
    • Permissions check issue.
    • Permissions request issue.
    • Extension reload issue.
    • Repeated style attribute changes issue.

    Haven't kept up with all the reports, and the reports don't always provide enough context / the full picture, such as the other extensions that might be changing the style attribute.

  • Removed the links to the no longer up-to-date social media accounts in README.

    Telegram account got disabled/removed without a warning or explanation ~14 months ago. 🤷

    Facebook account got disabled because it was asking to confirm an old phone number without an ability to change it. 🤷

v11.0.1

  • Added back a seemingly redundant string to the translation files to comply with the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Store requirement.

v11.0.0

v10.0.0

Breaking changes

  • If you select an Expert group button mode on one computer, synchronize your extensions with your browser profile, and log into your browser profile on another computer or/and in a different version of the browser, then the Expert group button mode will not get automatically applied there, as the required permissions you granted on one computer do not get synchronized with your browser profile, and will be automatically converted to a corresponding Advanced group button mode.

    Go to Options to grant the required permissions and enable your favorite Expert group button mode.

Fixed

  • Settings import or browser sync of an Expert group button mode would trigger an exception asking users to report it to the developer.

    Thank you those of you who have reported the issue.

    A big thank-you goes to those of you who have provided additional information and/or assistance in debugging the issue: Åke Svensson, Willem Dijkstra, Jacinta Yap, Terry Bennett, Julio C., Alfredo Gil, John Winter.

    A very special thank-you goes to Phil Reilly (@pjpreilly) for getting to the bottom of the issue!

New

  • Ability to set a custom button size (min – 1px, max – 500px) in Options.

    Before, you might have wanted to click an element located underneath/behind the button, but the button was in the way and there was no way to get rid of the button.
