Open the History panel on another computer, or after reinstalling the extension, and your past checks are there. Deleting an entry removes it everywhere. Until now History lived only in the browser profile, so a session you ran at the office was invisible at home, and signing in as a different person still showed the previous account's records. ## Added: Page preview can be turned off **Settings** has a new **Page preview** toggle, on by default. The preview card on the entry screen is built by reading the current page's meta tags, and nothing leaves your browser, but redrawing it every time you switch tabs made the panel feel like it was watching you. Turning the toggle off skips the lookup entirely rather than just hiding the card. ## Changed: Favicons no longer leave your browser Site icons used to come from a Google favicon service, which meant every domain you visited was sent there as you moved around. They are now read from Chrome's own local cache, so no external request is made. ## Changed: One click runs detection and verification **Check this page** and **Verify** now detect claims and verify all of them in one go. Previously they only detected, and you had to press **Verify all** afterwards. The wait and the credit cost are the same, there is just one less click, and the now-redundant **Verify all** button is gone. ## Changed: Selected text is checked exactly like a page Highlighting a passage and checking it used to take its own path: the whole selection was sent as a single claim, and the screen stayed empty until everything finished. Selections now run through the same pipeline as a page scan, so each claim appears as it is detected, verdicts attach one by one, and the passage gets the same in-page highlights and hover popovers. Selections also join the existing History entry for that page instead of creating a new session every time you highlight something. When nothing verifiable is found, you now get a clear "no claims to check" message instead of the full passage being graded as one claim. ## Changed: The hover popover shows sources Hovering a highlighted sentence now shows the verdict as an icon and a plain-language label, confidence as a bar, and the sources behind the verdict as a favicon stack with a count. The result already carried sources, but this popover was throwing them away, so there was no way to tell a well-supported verdict from a thin one without opening the panel. It also follows your system dark mode now. ## Changed: Check again moved to a bottom bar, with a freshness line Re-check controls left the header, which is there to tell you what is being checked, and now sit in a fixed bar under the claim list where they stay visible as you scroll. The bar also shows when the result was produced, for example `Checked 2 days ago`, since the whole point of re-checking is that verdicts age. `Re-verify` and `Re-scan` are both called **Check again**, and while a check is running the bar reads `Checking 3 of 7` with a **Stop** button. Verdicts already produced are kept when you stop. ## Changed: Every detected claim is verified The caps of 20 claims per video and 20 per automatic page scan are gone. Everything detected gets checked. ## Changed: Re-checking a video keeps the earlier result Verifying the same video again used to replace its History entry. It now adds a new one, so the Then/Now comparison still has something to compare against. Simply revisiting a video you already checked does not re-run anything. ## Changed: YouTube pages are checked by transcript only On YouTube, **Check this page** no longer scans the page text. Video pages have a transcript-based pipeline of their own, and home, search, and channel pages are just lists of thumbnail titles, which produced fragments with no context. On pages where a text scan does not apply, the button is hidden with a one-line reason. ## Changed: The panel follows your browser language and system theme The side panel started in English regardless of your browser language, and in light mode regardless of your system setting, even though the cards drawn on YouTube already followed it. Both are now detected automatically. An explicit choice in **Settings** still wins. ## Changed: The sign-in screen says what DeepVerify does For a new install this screen is the first thing you see, so it now leads with the product instead of the requirement: "Check what you're reading", with a line naming what can be checked, page, video, and live audio. ## Fixed: Failed checks no longer look like verdicts When a fact-check request failed, the extension recorded an `Uncertain` verdict instead. That fake verdict went into History and pulled down the Trust Score. Failures now leave the claim unchecked, and a failed re-check from History records nothing at all, so Then/Now no longer reports a verdict as having flipped when it never landed. ## Fixed: The warning card broke on some sites The card that appears when false claims are detected inherited layout rules from the page it sat on. On sites with certain CSS resets it was squeezed to a fraction of its width, and the title and count wrapped over the artwork. The card is now isolated from the host page's styles. ## Fixed: A failed check left the card stuck in progress If any single claim failed, the progress bar stopped at something like `7 of 8` forever, the gauge never filled, and the score stayed at `—%`. The card now settles when the run is over and shows `N unchecked` so you can see how many were skipped. ## Fixed: Live claims show what was actually said Claim cards in the Live session summary showed an expanded sentence with pronouns resolved, which did not match the line you saw scroll past during the session. They now show the original wording. ## Fixed: Microphone sessions include the date Microphone entries were labeled with a time only, so sessions from different days at a similar hour were indistinguishable in History. They now read like `Microphone Record 2026-08-05 14:34`. ## Fixed: Trust Score card at narrow panel widths The three verdict counts overflowed their column when the side panel was narrow. They now wrap, and below 380px the gauge is replaced by a score next to the title so the counts fit on one line. ## Fixed: Smaller display issues The "no transcript" / "no claims" / "check failed" states no longer print the same sentence twice. The session-check loading screen no longer flashes on fast connections. ## Changed: History entries are easier to tell apart History rows now show the full page URL instead of a shortened `hostname/path`. Previously every YouTube entry read as `www.youtube.com/watch`, because a video's ID lives in the query string — so a list of ten videos looked like ten identical rows. Microphone sessions no longer borrow the title of whatever tab happened to be open at the time, which was often unrelated to what you were listening to. They are now labeled by start time, for example `Microphone session · 2:34 PM`. Tab-audio sessions still use the real tab title and URL. ## Changed: Live sessions carry the real page context Live sessions (microphone and tab audio) now pass the actual tab title and URL along with detected claims, instead of a generic `Live session` placeholder. The Live screen also gained the same header (favicon plus title) that the Page and YouTube screens already had. Until now Live was the only mode with no indication of what was being checked. ## Fixed: YouTube home, search, and channel pages Opening the extension on a YouTube page with no video — the home feed, search results, or a channel — showed a "Choose a video" prompt instead of working. These pages now behave like any other web page, so you can fact-check the text on them. ## Changed: Unified DeepVerify branding The extension toolbar icon, the YouTube floating button, and the automatic fact-check card now use the DeepVerify mark. ## Fixed: Preview card showed the previous video When moving from one YouTube video to another, the preview card kept the previous video's thumbnail, title, and description. YouTube updates the page without rewriting the metadata the extension was reading. The extension now reads the title from the live page and builds the thumbnail from the video ID directly, so the preview always matches what you are watching. ## Changed: YouTube claims stream in Claims from a video now appear one by one as they are detected, the same way page text already worked. Previously the list stayed empty until the entire transcript had been processed, which felt like nothing was happening on long videos. ## Fixed: Side panel stuck on the previous video Moving between YouTube videos left the side panel showing the previous video's title, Trust Score, and claims. The panel now refreshes when YouTube navigates. ## Fixed: Real page titles before checking The pre-check screen showed `youtube.com` instead of the video title while the page preview was still loading. It now falls back to the tab's own title first. ## Fixed: YouTube Shorts and browsing pages YouTube Shorts, the home feed, search, and channel pages were routed to the generic page view instead of the YouTube panel. ## Added: Full transcript coverage on long videos Transcripts from long videos, roughly an hour or more, are now split into chunks before claim detection. Previously the transcript was sent in a single request and anything past the server's length limit was silently dropped, so claims near the end of a long video were never checked. ## Fixed: Stale results on similar URLs Moving between pages that differ only by query string or anchor — for example `article?id=1` to `article?id=2` — could show the previous page's results. Those pages are now treated as distinct. Results also refresh correctly on sites that navigate without a full page load.
