v3.0.5

• Fixed issue where addon would crash when trying to apply green URL or gimmick remover styles due to a bug with the dark mode detection (also fixes issue with poor contrast occasionally with old-coloured URLs)
• Updated homepage logo replacement to account for recent Google document changes for the 2024 Halloween Doodle
• Disabled debug logging in production (eek!)

v3.0.4

• Gimmick remover now removes Google Gemini results section
• Both the decrease padding and square favicons settings have had their CSS updated to match the new large rounded pill-box around the site name and favicon (which is completely removed if you are a user of that latter option)
• Remove "People also searched for" option is now indented in the options popup to indicate it's an extension of the gimmick remover option

v3.0.3

• The tabs on the results page are now back to Arial rather than Google Sans
• Version info can now also be found in toolbar popup
• CSS injection for Search is now slightly optimised and less time is taken between each option being applied
• The text describing options is a bit clearer/up-to-date

v3.0.2

• Old style link colours are updated to use better contrasting colours on dark mode that still remain faithful
• Regular search results logo swapper works with the new Google Doodle HTML changes
• Search gimmick remover now removes the gimmicks in the search suggestions dropdown
• "People also searched for" remover now removes the "See results about" box in the sidebar

This is also the first GitHub release with the old_google-x.y.z.xpi file—now signed for a permanent install unlike before—and a -sources.xpi variant which is the actual development copy originally uploaded to Mozilla.

v3.0.1

• Updated min-version supported by the extension for the dark mode support to work as expected
• Fixed regular Google logo swapper to work with the new SVG logo on results pages

v3.0

Following v3.0-rc1 behaving more reliably than v2.2.3, and #17 being merged, the v3.0 refactor is officially complete!

• Updated classes of multiple logos that have broken over time due to Google's changes
• Fixed Google Books Classic's logo repeating
• Logos are now mostly replaced using CSS, and take much less (or even negative) time to be replaced. Additionally, CSS injection-based replacement is computationally less expensive on your computer than the complicated JS methods previously used since v1
• Pages that require MutationObservers to continuously apply changes as the page loads more content now do so in a much faster and optimised manner
• The logic flow for the main replacement class is super optimised and tidied as compared to what was previously in place, allowing for many more functions of the addon to execute as soon as possible rather than later
• Full compatibility for the modern Google Books
• The Google Trends homepage logo has been fixed for users with a smaller window viewport size
• Google Maps favicon replacement now happens much quicker
• Breadcrumbs are removed as you scroll (fixed #16)
• The 404 yeti fishing easter egg can now be removed as part of the tidy results option
• The inline Define tooltip gimmick can be removed via the tidy results option as well
• The tidy results option now increases the density of the results page more effectively, removing unnecessary padding previously untouched
• Result link blue/purple text is now closer to the original #12c/#61c values, as a part of the green URL/breadcrumb option
• Result blue/purple and green text now supports dark mode a bit more seamlessly with more contrasting colours that are still closer to the old style than they are to the modern colours

The internal names for options have been renamed. If you have used any v2.2.x version, then you should check your config! Some may have been turned off by default. For new users or people upgrading from v1.x to v3.0, you will have all of these options on by default and don't need to worry.

v2.2.3

• Patched the search results text box font fixer from v2.2.2.

v2.2.2

• The new Google results page text box has Google Sans font when not in focus. I've reverted this completely.

v3.0-rc1

A proper changelog will come with the full release. The entirety of Old Google has been rewritten and restructured and now is more based around CSS injection than JS HTML manipulation, which means less time is spent processing and logos can be replaced in a theoretically faster manner. Bug fixes are also included.

v2.2.1

• Emergency patch to fix hanging on Google Search homepage due to Doodle container div not being found
