Version 4.0.0
Released May 13, 2026 - 121.89 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterv4.0.0 — Privacy that acts back (full rewrite from v3.x)
v4 is a full rewrite. v3.x detected privacy risks; v4 detects AND acts on them.
WHAT'S NEW
Cookie scoper — the new active layer. On a tunable alarm (15min / hourly / 4hr / 12hr) wearehere now:
• caps long-lived cookies at 7 days for untrusted sites
• demotes known analytics + advertising cookies to session-only
• leaves your trusted sites alone (one-click [ Trust 30d / 90d ])
• clears third-party cookies on tab close Result: trackers can't recognise you tomorrow.
Cross-session memory — wearehere now remembers what watched you across every site, not just the page in front of you. The Watchers tab shows who follows you across the web, the Overview tab shows what changed this window (today / week / month / all time), and the Cookie scoper tab shows everything it has tightened or killed for you over time.
Per-watcher attribution — cookies, pixels, clicks, and device-id probes are attributed to the company doing them (Google, Meta, Amazon, …), not just the page they appeared on.
First-run guided tour — a one-time modal explains how the score, watchers, and scoper work in plain language.
Impact line — a green callout on Overview now tells the story in one sentence: "this week wearehere shortened N cookies and demoted M trackers to session-only so they can't recognise you tomorrow."

REDESIGNED
Popup — 8 cards collapsed into 3 focused blocks plus the cookie scoper card. Mechanism vocabulary locked: cookies · pixels · device-id · typing · clicks.
Dashboard — 6 tabs collapsed into 3: Overview, Watchers, Cookie scoper. Network Map, separate Cookies / Network / Terms tabs all folded in or retired.
UNDER THE HOOD
• Migrated to Manifest V3 (Firefox 142+).
• SSRF-guarded ToS fetcher — only public hosts.
• Hardened service-worker lifecycle, serialized storage writes, per-hop redirect re-checks.
• Full 18/18 test suite for the data pipeline.
DESIGN NON-GOAL
wearehere does not block network requests. uBlock Origin does that expertly. We focus on observation + cookie-level intervention. Run both for the strongest privacy stack.
NOTHING CHANGED ABOUT YOUR DATA
Everything still runs locally. No accounts, no telemetry, no remote rule lists. All state in browser storage.
