What changed in AIBlock 1.0.1.

AIBlock 1.0.1 is a pending maintenance release focused on a clearer first-run choice and safer updates. It is not yet the public Chrome Web Store version.

New installs now begin with a short local-processing disclosure. Protection stays off until the person using the browser chooses to enable it. Existing installations keep their settings when updating.

The four free guardrails and their supported-site scope remain unchanged. This release also makes the relationship between AI Pause and AI Site Warning easier to understand and keeps planned personalization visibly unavailable.

Changelog

What changed in 1.0.1

  • First-run choice: adds a one-screen local-processing disclosure and leaves protection off until you explicitly enable it.
  • Safe updates: preserves existing settings during updates, fills only missing defaults, and keeps onboarding limited to fresh installs.
  • Clearer guardrails: explains that AI Pause takes priority and AI Site Warning appears as the fallback when AI Pause is off.
  • Honest Options: keeps planned themes, custom messages, notification styles, and the supporter badge visible but clearly unavailable.
  • Support access: adds passive Privacy, Support, feedback, and honest-review links to Options without changing core protection.
  • Same permissions: keeps the four free core features, Chrome permissions, and supported-site scope unchanged.
  • Release coverage: adds automated clean-install, update, onboarding, and pre-enable behavior checks.
