HOW IT WORKS The Times of Malta Reader extension uses modern browser APIs to monitor page content in real-time. When you navigate to any Times of Malta article, the extension automatically scans for common technical issues that may interfere with content visibility. These issues can include overlay modals, positioning conflicts, scroll-lock behaviors, and other display anomalies that occasionally occur in modern web applications. Once detected, the extension applies targeted fixes to restore the intended reading experience. This happens instantly and invisibly - you'll simply notice that articles load cleanly and remain fully accessible throughout your browsing session. The extension continues monitoring in the background to prevent any issues from reappearing as you scroll through articles or navigate between pages. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE Built using Manifest V3, the latest and most secure extension standard, Times of Malta Reader employs declarative network request blocking to prevent problematic scripts from loading in the first place. This proactive approach is more efficient than reactive content modification, resulting in faster page loads and a smoother browsing experience. The extension uses MutationObserver technology to monitor DOM changes in real-time, ensuring that even dynamically injected elements are handled appropriately. This means the extension remains effective even as the Times of Malta website evolves and updates its code. PRIVACY AND SECURITY Your privacy is paramount. Times of Malta Reader operates with minimal permissions, requesting access only to the timesofmalta.com domain. The extension does not track your browsing history, does not collect analytics, does not store cookies, and does not communicate with any external servers. All processing happens locally within your browser, ensuring complete privacy and security. The extension's code is straightforward and transparent, focusing solely on improving content visibility without any hidden functionality or data collection mechanisms.
