** Older changelogs **
https://docs.modheader.com/whats-new/version-4.x
** Permissions **
ModHeader currently requires 6 permissions:
1, "webRequest"
2, "webRequestBlocking"
3, "<all_urls>"
4, "storage"
5, "contextMenus"
6, "alarm"
"webRequest" and "webRequestBlocking" are required in order for request headers modification to work. Because ModHeader doesn't know ahead of time which website the modification should apply to, it needs to request permissions for all URLs (3). "storage" permission is needed to save settings to the cloud. "contextMenus" is used to enable quick pause/unpause by right-clicking on the icon. "alarm" is used to periodically auto-sync profiles (if auto-sync is setup).

- JonLuca DeCaro
- Everytime this extension updates it opens up random sponsored pages, be wary that it's adware and abusive.
- Yxcell
- Works fine but, as others have said, opens stupid AI websites. Namely, MaxAI.me, which redirects to creati.studio. Not a vital extension for me, so I decided to simply disable it in Chrome/Edge until situation improves.

- Chimecho Espinoza
- This extension forcefully opens new tabs every now and then with ads from partners, mainly "maxAI / maxai.me" which in turn opens tabs for "creati.studio".
- Luke Coulton
- When it updates it redirects you to some website that they clearly want you to go to, an ad? It opened "https://www.maxai.me/partners/updated/?name=ModHeader" in a new tab when the extension updated and redirected me to "creatiai studio"... for reasons unknown. Bad experience. Hijacking my tab. Please don't do that.

- ⚠️ Adware, do not install!⚠️ Used to be a beloved and trusted extension used by me and my dev team, now it opens AI sites I assume the dev gets a kickback from. What a disgrace, it literally opened some "creati studio" site as I typed this. Find a way to monetize that actually builds faith in your product.
