Release notes for 1.7.4
🔧 Default Proxy Monitoring Disabled
Summary
Proxy status monitoring is now disabled by default across all components. Users must explicitly enable "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" in the popup settings to activate background proxy checks and status indicators.
Why This Change
Privacy First: Eliminates unexpected background network requests for users who don't opt-in
Performance: Reduces default resource usage and potential overhead for new installations
User Control: Ensures users make an informed choice about enabling monitoring features
What Changed
✅ Default Value: proxyMonitoring setting now defaults to false when no saved preference exists
✅ UI Behavior: "Enable Proxy Status Monitoring" checkbox appears unchecked by default
✅ Background Script: No monitoring intervals created unless explicitly enabled
✅ Content Script: Status dots and proxy-based styling disabled by default
✅ Storage Consistency: All storage read operations use false as fallback value
Files Modified
popup.js - Updated restore logic: result.proxyMonitoring !== undefined ? result.proxyMonitoring : false
content.js - Global variable initialization: let isMonitoringEnabled = false
content.js - Settings defaults object: proxyMonitoring: false
content.js - Background color logic: Added isMonitoringEnabled gate for proxy status colors
background.js - Monitoring start logic: Defaults to false when setting absent
User Impact
New Users: Checkbox unchecked, no background monitoring, standard floating bar colors
Existing Users: Saved preferences preserved - no behavior change for users with proxyMonitoring: true
Visual Changes: Floating bar uses user-selected background color instead of status-based colors when monitoring disabled
