We're back with some updates to Acrolinx for Chrome. This release, we've switched from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 for Chrome. We also did some general maintenance and took care of a bug that affected highlighting in certain editors.

Platform Support

Acrolinx for Chrome should work with older platform versions, however, we recommend using:

  • Acrolinx version 2021.05 or later

Improvements
Updated Chrome Manifest

Google recently introduced Manifest V3. This meant it was time for us to make a few updates. To make sure that Acrolinx gets the latest enhancements, we've updated from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3.

Bug Fixes
Acrolinx Not Highlighting Issues

In CKEditors like Zendesk, Acrolinx sometimes wouldn't highlight issues. Don't worry, we've fixed this. The next time you use Acrolinx in your favorite browser, your CKEditor content will be checkable once again.

Version 1.5 (13 January 2021)

Summary

We're happy to start the year off with a new release of our Chrome integration! This time around, we've improved the way Acrolinx handles text editors. We've also changed the color of our extension icon so you can spot it easily, no matter your display settings.

Platform Support

We developed and tested this version of Acrolinx for Chrome with Chrome versions 70.x and above.

Acrolinx for Chrome should work with older platform versions, however, we recommend using:

  • Acrolinx version 2019.10 or later

Improvements
Better Handling In Text Editors

There are hundreds of text editors out there, and you might've found that Acrolinx for Chrome didn't always work with some of them. We've fixed this. Now, Acrolinx is better equipped to handle any issues that pop up.

Tip

Our browser extension works within a lot of different surroundings. If you find that the content you’re checking isn’t working as expected, let us know. We’d be glad to look at more specific options.

New Extension Icon Color

In the past, the Acrolinx extension icon might have been a little hard to find. We've fixed this. When you're ready to check your content, just keep an eye out for the blue Acrolinx check icon in your browser’s toolbar.

Additional Information
Dropped Support for Safari

It was a difficult decision, but we've dropped support for the Safari browser extension. You can still use Acrolinx in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. If you want to see Safari back on our list of integrations, let us know.
