Magnetar v2.1.1

Fixed

• Firefox: “Open toolbar” now works on supported pages even when no torrent or hash is detected.
• The manual toolbar state now opens correctly, allowing users to paste a magnet link or info hash directly.

Licensing

• Magnetar is now source-available under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 from v2.1.1 onward.
• Added branding and notice guidance.
• Older MIT releases remain under the licence they were originally released with.

Magnetar v2.1.0

This update improves the toolbar, history, setup flow, and help experience.

New:
Recent sends are now available directly from the toolbar, showing up to the last 20 sends.

History entries now include compact actions:
Resend previous items
Open the original source URL when available
Delete individual history entries

A new Help button has been added to the toolbar. It opens the Magnetar Help page at:
https://arrcee.com/magnetarhelp

Improved:
The setup flow now better matches the main Magnetar settings page.

The expanded batch view has been improved for working with multiple detected items.

History and toolbar controls have been polished to better match Magnetar’s compact button and pill style.

Fixed:
Fixed an issue where expanded toolbar details could fail to load after history changes.

Fixed batch controls becoming unreliable when moving between toolbar and expanded views.

Fixed unclear history delete button text.

Improved handling for older history entries that do not have source URL data.

Privacy:
Magnetar remains local-first. Settings are stored in the browser. The extension does not use analytics, telemetry, or tracking. Provider requests are only made when the user chooses to send something.

Magnetar 2.0 is the biggest Magnetar update yet.

New in this version:
- Redesigned Magnetar toolbar with Standard and Advanced modes
- Compact and Full toolbar styles
- Quick Target switching so you can send one item to another provider without changing your default
- Manual send for pasted magnet links and torrent hashes
- Improved batch mode for one detected item or many
- Ignore site for false-positive detections
- Pin toolbar to keep Magnetar open after sending
- Open provider and Downloads shortcuts
- Detection Details panel for Advanced users
- Refreshed settings, history, Shield, onboarding, and What’s New pages
- Better light and dark mode styling
- Safer settings migration for existing users

Magnetar still stores data locally in your browser and does not use analytics, telemetry, ads, or tracking.

Magnetar 1.4.13

This release is a compatibility and stability update focused on Firefox support, provider testing, and setup page polish.

What's fixed

Fixed Firefox provider testing
Magnetar now handles Firefox extension APIs more safely, which fixes the issue where provider testing could fail with a credentials error.

Fixed TorBox and Real-Debrid Save & Test
TorBox and Real-Debrid credential testing now completes properly instead of hanging on Testing.

Improved provider request handling
Provider requests now use a shared fetch helper with timeout handling, reducing the chance of requests getting stuck indefinitely.

Improved browser compatibility
Added a shared API shim to make Chrome and Firefox behaviour more consistent across background scripts, setup pages, popup pages, and provider checks.

Fixed dark mode setup styling
The setup page buttons now follow the Magnetar theme properly instead of using the old bright blue hover styling.

Changed

Removed unnecessary Chrome tabs permission
The Chrome build no longer requests the tabs permission, keeping requested permissions narrower and cleaner for store review.

Updated provider handling
Real-Debrid, TorBox, AllDebrid, Premiumize, RDT Client, and local provider handling have been updated to use the improved request flow.

Tested

Credential testing has been checked locally in both Chrome and Firefox for:

Real-Debrid
TorBox

Recommended update

This is a recommended update for anyone using Magnetar, and for anyone who experienced provider testing getting stuck or failing during setup.

Hotfix release. Resolves a Firefox bug where the Save and Test button on the options page would hang indefinitely. Adds a 12-second timeout on Real-Debrid validation so connection problems surface as a clear error rather than a stuck button.

Major feature release. New Save for later queue lets you bookmark torrents from the banner or any batch row and send them in your own time. Banner redesign with full torrent titles, theme toggle on the title row, and settings cog up top. Batch panel gains a slide-out drawer with stats, saved queue, and recent activity, plus a 25/50/75 toggle for how many torrents to display and per-row save bookmarks.

Under the hood, a tiered cache layer cuts repeat API calls to your provider by roughly an order of magnitude. Theme changes now apply live across every surface without a page refresh.

Light mode fixes: Save and Test buttons in the options page now render correctly, toggles no longer collapse to a thin line, and download history rows are plain text instead of chunky pills. Share menu auto-flips above the button when there is no room below.

Review prompt now appears once at 200 sends with Rate, Coffee, or Not now options.

html issues and small css changes

Fixed Problem with Torbox API not recognising files.

Magnetar v1.2.0 — Changelog
New providers:

AllDebrid support — API key validation, magnet sending, and cache checking
Premiumize support — API key validation, magnet sending, and cache checking
Total provider count now six: Local client, Real-Debrid, RDT Client, TorBox, AllDebrid, Premiumize

New features:

Batch mode — detect all magnets on listing/search pages and send multiple at once via a checkbox panel. Configurable max limit in settings.
Download history — tracks previously sent magnets, marks them as "Sent" in the batch panel to avoid duplicates
Banner position preference — choose top or bottom placement for the detection banner
Right-click context menu — "Block this site with Magnetar" and "Unblock this site" for quick Shield management

Improvements:

Expanded excluded sites list — buymeacoffee.com, addons.mozilla.org, chromewebstore.google.com, Telegram, and others added to prevent false positive detections
Excluded site check now runs earlier in the detection pipeline (after custom rules but before layers 2–4), preventing false triggers on sites like GitHub
