Revised the extension description in both manifest.json and package.json to clarify supported sites and improve user understanding. Also updated manifest.json formatting for consistency and readability.
Replaces all incorrect or broken GitHub URLs referencing 'Xget for Chromium' with the correct 'Xget-for-Chromium' format across documentation, workflow, package.json, and popup.html. This ensures consistency and prevents navigation errors for users and contributors.
Updated all documentation, configuration, and code references from 'Xget for Chrome' to 'Xget for Chromium' for consistency with the supported browser family. This includes issue templates, workflow files, privacy and security policies, README, manifest, package metadata, background and content scripts, and popup UI.
Updated all documentation, configuration, and code references from 'Xget for Chrome' to 'Xget for Chromium' for consistency with supported browsers. This includes issue templates, workflow files, privacy and security policies, source code logs, manifest, and popup UI.
Removed the 'v' prefix from the version variable in the success notification message to ensure consistent formatting when publishing the Chrome extension.
Translated all workflow names, step descriptions, comments, and release notes in .github/workflows/publish-extension.yml from English to Chinese to improve accessibility for Chinese-speaking developers.
Revised PRIVACY_POLICY.md for clarity, transparency, and updated effective date. README.md wording changed from '仓库' to '存储库' for consistency, and other minor language improvements for accuracy and readability.
Converted all major documentation files (README, PRIVACY_POLICY, SECURITY, pull request template) to Chinese. Updated extension source files (background.js, content.js, popup.html, popup.js) to use Chinese comments and user-facing messages for improved localization and user experience.
Improved the formatting of the release notes in the publish-extension workflow by changing headings to use '##' and removing redundant version references. Also removed the 'Changes' section to streamline the release body.
Changed the GitHub Actions workflow to use workflow_dispatch with a required version input instead of triggering on version tags. Added steps to commit and push version updates, create and push tags, and updated release link formatting.
Updated references to Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Chromium-based browsers in workflow and README to improve clarity. Installation steps and file descriptions now more accurately reflect supported browsers and manual installation options.
Refactored isDownloadLink to use URL parsing for host checks on GitHub and Hugging Face links, improving accuracy and robustness. Added error handling for invalid URLs and clarified host-specific download patterns.
