What's New in v1.4.0?
Reworked background.js with some fallback copy methods, and gave a new notification type for failure to copy to clipboard (mostly for Arc users since this is still failing). Removed the erroneous host permissions from the manifest.
*macOS app for Safari is still on 1.3.2!
What Browsers Are Supported
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari have been fully tested with Sanitize It and seemingly work without error. Arc has been tested, and while the URL sanitation works just fine, copy to clipboard is failing in Arc. I've reached out the the Arc team to see how I can solve this, and of course, would love to hear from the community! Other Chromium browsers like Brave, Opera, ..etc have not been tested with Sanitize It.
How can I install this release?
For Chrome:
Download Source code (zip)
of this release and unzip it. Then navigate to chrome://extensions/
and enable "Developer mode" using the toggle in the top right corner. Upload the extension manually by pressing "Load unpacked" and selecting the unzipped TabCloser folder.
For Edge:
Download Source code (zip)
of this release and unzip it. Then navigate to edge://extensions/
and enable "Developer mode" in the left sidebar, it's near the bottom. Upload the extension manually by pressing "Load unpacked" and selecting the unzipped TabCloser folder.
For Safari:
sanitize-it-1.3.2-macos.zip
is available for download here. TabCloser.app was created using Xcode and signed for Direct Distribution, however there are a few steps you'll need to take to enable it.
1.) You can unzip this and drag Sanitize It to your Applications folder.
2.) Once you install Sanitize It you'll need to launch Safari and go to Safari
> Settings
> Advanced
and check Show features for web developers
. Once you've done that, go to the Developer
tab and enable Allow unsigned extensions
.
You can also download the core files here and use Xcode to convert it to a Safari extension on your own. Read this article from Apple to learn how.
