v2.0.0

Major Feature Release & Glassmorphism UI Update

July 31, 2026

Tabvora v2.0.0 introduces major productivity features including Digital Wellbeing reminders, real-time website & browser limits, a new dashboard usage widget toggle, and chamfered glassmorphism popup redesigns.

New Features & Enhancements

  • • Digital Wellbeing Reminders (Default OFF): Integrated session-only wellness break triggers (Eye, Stretch, Walk, and Long Break) to encourage screen breaks. Timers run locally and reset automatically upon Chrome exit.

  • • Native Chamfered Glass Popups: Redesigned limit reminders and wellbeing modals into sleek, non-intrusive native dark glassmorphism overlays.

Fixes & Core Optimizations

  • • Real-Time Video Auto-Popup Fix: Fixed limit detection so popups trigger automatically while watching full-screen videos (e.g. YouTube) without requiring tab switching or page reload.
  • • HTML Layout & Settings Refactor: Resolved sidebar tab nesting bugs inside `newtab.html` to guarantee clean navigation across all settings sections.
  • • Background Service Worker Sync: Refactored background alarms and content scripts for seamless Manifest V3 compatibility and zero performance impact.
