Save In 4.1 puts more saves one gesture away and makes private browsing behave the way you'd expect. Configurable mouse gestures, new routing actions, script-loaded media detection, private browsing fixes (#235), and more memory optimisations headline the release.

Version 4.0.1 fixes the slowdown and memory growth some users saw after upgrading to Version 4. History is now persisted entry by entry and no longer triggers a full settings reload in every open tab on each update. Page Sources renders large lists incrementally and bounds the metadata it retains. Long-lived validation and download-diagnostic state is bounded as well. Chrome and Firefox browser tests now gate memory growth under repeated history changes.

Save In 4 is a rebuild from the first character to the last for Manifest V3, keeping the same stubborn download-filing logic it has used since 2017. It modernizes browser support and makes complex download organization easier while preserving existing settings and rules.

Highlights

• Manifest V3 on both browsers from one package — now requires Firefox 140+ or Chrome 123+.
• Redesigned Options — clearer navigation, visual directory editing, rule templates, previews, a route debugger, search, first-run guidance, and better dark mode.
• Downloads survive a background restart — reliable filenames, notifications, history, retries, and private-browsing safeguards.
• Richer routing and renaming — many new variables, fetch: URL rewriting, rename: find-and-replace, finalfilename:/urlfileext:/css: matching, a :menupath: variable, UTF-8-aware truncation, and tighter validation.
• Automatic Page Sources saves — opt-in, behind guarded context: ^auto$ rules with live/private controls and a per-page limit, across linked media, documents, streams, CSS backgrounds, playlist hints, and inline data: sources.
• Ordinary browser downloads — opt-in tracking and routing, with a separately labelled experimental Firefox replacement mode.
• Integrations — explicitly approved extension integrations, validated configuration tools, disabled-by-default webhooks, experimental WebMCP support, and a Chrome-only on-device rule assistant.
• Streamlined saving — opt-in Quick Save with a keyboard command, a switchable default destination, post-save tab actions, History undo and move, a per-site disable list, and six new themes.

Existing 3.x settings, rules, history, and menu identifiers are all still accepted and migrate automatically. See the full changelog for the complete list.

- Firefox settings no longer disabled on the options page when in Firefox (#214)

# 3.7.1

* Fix invalid default menu configuration
* Now notifies by default for successful downloads
* Fix light mode icon for last used menu item being white
* Refactor context menu creation, might help with #200

# 3.7.0

This update might require a change in your muscle memories. Previously all submenus of the same depth would have their shortcut keys increment even if they had different parents. That's now been fixed. Thanks,
@mfaizsyahmi!

If you want to use your old buggy shortcut again, use the new `(key: <VALUE>)` comment (eg, `menu // (key: 1)`), which will override the automatically-assigned shortcut with `1`.

* Reset accessKey count on every submenu. (#198, #199). Thanks @mfaizsyahmi!
* Add new meta comment to override accessKey
* Use white icon for previous entry in dark mode (#184)
* Add basic history to options page (#159)

It's been difficult getting motivation to work on save-in, especially with the poor code quality, stalled TypeScript changes, and impending v3 manifest changes. Sorry if I've disappointed anyone! I still have grand dreams of rewriting this extension to make it maintainable, but my energy is being and has been sucked up by $DAY_JOB!

* Add support for multiple `capture` clauses (#160, @MaddyKakkoHeart)

* Add "fetch via Fetch API" option for some incompatible sites (eg, Instagram) (#166)

# 3.5.1

* Fix text not visible in dark mode (#112)
* Fix some potential bugs with filename and source URL routing
* Fix dashes in aliases breaking download paths (#124)
* Fix separators in submenus not being treated as special directories (#117)
* Fix Click-to-save not working for middle and right mouse buttons (#116)
* Update sv localisation (#119, @Sopor)
* Update vendored mozilla/webextension-polyfill to 0.5
* Refactor `legacyDownloadInfo` out from code

Many thanks to everyone using this extension, and especially to all contributors and bug-reporters. I would like to apologise for the late update.

* Make options page support dark mode for Firefox (#112)
* Add unofficially (unsupported) onMessageExternal listener for use with other extensions such as Foxy Gestures (#110)
