Release Notes - EsReal v2.6.5

Live in-page badge now works automatically
The in-page trust badge no longer requires any permission to be granted after installation. It activates immediately and shows a brief status indicator on every page you visit — no setup required.

Fewer permissions
The right-click context menu items have been removed. The extension now requests fewer permissions than the previous version, reducing its footprint.

Enterprise: custom message for unknown URLs
IT administrators can now set a custom message that appears in the overlay when a user visits a domain not recognized by the organization's policy. This is configured via managed policy and has no effect in standard consumer use.

Bug fix
Fixed a rare duplicate context menu error that could occur after a browser restart.

This update introduces a new animated pulse status indicator in the badge UI. The pulse dot provides a quick, intuitive view of your current trust state. The animation is lightweight, fully CSS‑based, and optimized for each OS. Spacing, alignment, and badge layout have been refined for a cleaner and more consistent interface.

Release Notes – EsReal Browser Extension
This update introduces a redesigned, OS‑aware user interface and adds full enterprise management capabilities through Microsoft Edge and Chrome policies.

User Experience Improvements
The extension now automatically adapts to the operating system’s light and dark mode, ensuring consistent readability and visual comfort across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

All interface components—including buttons, cards, tables, and informational pages—have been updated to a unified design system using theme‑aware CSS variables.

The QR code generator has been upgraded to a modern renderer with:

Dynamic theme colors that follow the OS appearance.

Enhanced visual styling with rounded markers and transparent backgrounds.

Consistent sizing, even for long URLs.

Enterprise Management via Policies
The extension now supports organizational control through browser policies, enabling centralized configuration and deployment.

Administrators can:

Predefine settings and trust configurations.

Enable or disable specific features.

Enforce compliance and uniform behavior across all managed devices.

The extension automatically detects active policies and adjusts the UI and available options accordingly.

Performance and Stability

Reduced initialization time and optimized DOM updates.

More reliable QR generation and UI responsiveness.
