Hey everyone.

I have just released a significant architectural update for Studio.lab.

Here is the technical breakdown of what is new in v1.5:

• Isolated Module Sandboxing: All extension features now run within their own error-handling boundaries. If a specific module fails (for example, if Google pushes an undocumented UI update that breaks a selector), the core extension and all other modules will continue functioning normally. No more cascaded failures.
• ResizeObserver Event Handling: The auto-scroll-to-bottom utility was previously driven by setInterval and MutationObserver, which consumed unnecessary cycles. It has been completely rewritten to use a native ResizeObserver bound strictly to the content container. This results in a massive drop in CPU overhead and battery drain during long text generations.
• Deeper Telemetry Interception: The telemetry blocker has been expanded. In addition to declarative network rules, the extension now intercepts fetch and XMLHttpRequest directly in the MAIN execution world. This allows real-time logging of intercepted tracking requests and dynamic spoofing of backend restrictions (e.g., BenefitTier payloads) at the network layer.
• Health Check Fallback: Added a 10-second DOM readiness timeout. If Google unexpectedly alters their DOM structure, the extension will push a non-intrusive UI warning to let you know that certain visual features may be impaired, rather than failing silently.
• Centralized Configuration & Dead Code Purge: Purged all legacy bypass code. DOM selectors have been abstracted into a centralized registry map, making the extension significantly easier to maintain against future UI changes.

u/Least_Pea_7874 - Now it's your turn. 💕🤝

If you use Google AI Studio for long conversations or coding, you've likely faced two major frustrations:

1. Aggressive safety filters that abort the response stream and permanently delete the text the model already generated.
2. Severe UI lag once your chat history grows past 50–60 turns.

We've overhauled and rebranded our extension. Meet Studio.lab (formerly BTStudio) — a lightweight, completely free, and open-source extension to fix these bottlenecks and upgrade your workflow.

⚡ Key Features

• 🚫 Content Filter Bypass: Prevents AI Studio from deleting already-generated text when a filter (SAFETY, RECITATION, etc.) triggers. No UI flicker, no lost text. (Note: Everything generated up to the block remains visible, and you can just type "continue").
• 🚀 Chat Optimizer (Anti-Lag):
  • Buffered Mode (Smart): Hides old messages from the DOM to eliminate lag, with a clean "Restore" banner to scroll back seamlessly.
  • Physical Mode (Hard): Permanently purges older turns for maximum performance on huge contexts.
• 📸 Improved Media View (Beta!): A responsive, beautiful grid for attached files & images (desktop & mobile).
• 📊 Real-time Analytics: Injects subtle word and character counters into each message header that update live as the model generates text.
• 🗑️ Banner Remover: Automatically hides intrusive "Upgrade" and "Quota Exceeded" promo banners.
• 🔽 Smart Scroll-to-Bottom: A floating button that appears when you scroll up, morphing into a live 3-dot writing indicator when the model is generating.

🔒 Privacy & Security First

• 100% Local: All settings are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local).
• Zero Outbound Calls: No trackers, no telemetry, and no external requests.
• Fully Auditable: Raw, un-obfuscated open-source code.
