What’s New Version 8.0.3
Fixed an issue where some embedded videos — including Bing video search results — could fail to play while the extension was on.
"Pause on this site" now pauses protection completely, including tracker blocking, so a paused site behaves exactly as if the extension were off. A note in the popup makes this clear.
Reliability and performance improvements.

Build 887131419v8.0.12026-06-18 17:58:22
Fewer false alarms on sign-in pages: login forms that submit to a different subdomain of the same website (for example a dedicated sign-in or SSO subdomain) are no longer mistakenly flagged as sending your details to another site.
More accurate link checks: pages that use JavaScript for navigation — such as menus and buttons built as links — are no longer incorrectly reported as having broken or dead links.
Better language support: page status messages and other on-screen text, including Otto's safety indicator, now display correctly in your selected language across all supported locales.
