Browser Extension ๐ป Win/Mac/Linux
v6.0 - 08/10/2026
โจ NEW modern look: rounded side menu, menus, messages and mini tutorial, cleaner top-bar buttons in the same places and sizes, the same on every site
๐ NEW Dark Mode in the side menu: AUTO (like your computer), ON or OFF
๐ NEW Dark skin: makes light pages dark and leaves dark pages as they are
๐ NEW top-bar button: the window goes back to its default size and position in one click
๐ฅ๏ธ The window grows on bigger screens (1440p, 4K), in its usual place
๐ Safer window: if a monitor is unplugged or the place doesn’t fit, the window opens on the main screen instead of not opening
๐ฅ NEW Video of the window: 5, 15 or 30 seconds, your own time, or start and stop yourself (saved as MP4)
๐ The mini tutorial now shows every option: the side menu (Theme – Skin Color, Multi Window – Account, Incognito, Changelogโฆ) and the new buttons, without scrolling the page
๐ Edge: after an update or a restart, the open window shows “click here to reload”, so the top bar keeps working
๐ป YouTube sits right under the top bar on every page: videos, search, channels, Subscriptions and Settings (search results were too low)
๐ Side menu: Extensions Catalog, Changelog and Rate & Review open again, also the Changelog link in the update message
๐ฅ NEW “New Window & Account”: open a second window with another account, side by side (allow the extension in private windows: “Allow in InPrivate” on Edge, “Run in Private Windows” on Firefox)
๐ช New Window opens a little to the side, so you see both windows
๐จ Theme – Skin Color reworked: the skin covers the whole site while the top bar and menus keep their colours, “None” really clears it and “Invert” is now a real dark mode ๐
๐ Right-click โบ “Open in Red Messenger for Youtube” now also on youtu.be links
๐ Round of Bugfixes: the top bar shows on the first open, SideBar/WideBar work at the first click after you resize the window, Screenshot always takes the extension window
๐ผ๏ธ News & Tips: pictures load on every site and the messages show at most once a day
๐ Mini tutorial and popup buttons look right on every site
๐ Top bar: the menu button sits in line with the other buttons on every site, and nothing under the bar blocks clicks on the page
๐ Security improvements and no more warnings on the extension’s Errors page
