Changelog

Your saved dashboard summary stays visible while it updates

Seven- and 30-day views now use your last saved private summary immediately, then update it in the background. If an update cannot finish, you can keep using the saved data and try again instead of waiting through an endless loading message.

Device check now explains exactly what it can measure

The check now separates a profile with no browser block signal from a connectivity problem and a likely bypass. It no longer treats an online resolver as proof that this device is using it, and retry guidance is clearer when the check cannot run.

Subscription updates from our payment provider are flowing again

A misconfigured notification address meant our payment provider couldn't reach us for a few days in mid-August. The address is fixed, deliveries are confirmed healthy, and the one affected signup was reviewed and corrected — no payments or personal data were affected.

Protection levels renamed to plain English

Your blocking level now has a name that tells you what it does: Essential (tracker blocking only), Standard (adds ad blocking — the default), and Maximum (adds malware blocking and safe search). Your settings are unchanged — only the labels are new.

Bot detection and abuse protection

Our web servers now detect automated traffic (bots, scrapers, uptime monitors), keep it out of your analytics, and record it in a security log so abusive networks can be reviewed and blocked via a deny list.

Security logging documented in the privacy policy

The privacy policy now describes our security request log in full: what it stores (IP, path, user agent, sanitized referrer — never bodies, cookies, or tokens), its 30-day retention, the legitimate-interest legal basis, and admin-only access.

More accurate, still minimal analytics

Product events keep the same small, conservative vocabulary (page views, key actions, conversions) and are now attributed correctly instead of to our servers. Nothing new is collected.

Instant opt-out sync

Turning on “Disable activity recording” in your Privacy preferences now notifies our analytics platform immediately, in addition to stopping all events at the source.

Active page highlight in navigation

The top nav now shows a white highlight on the current page link and adds aria-current='page' for screen readers — no more guessing where you are.

Report a Problem — always one click away

A report button appears in the header on every authenticated page. It opens a modal, shows exactly what will be sent (page path, browser, timestamp — no personal data), submits to our support queue, and gives you a reference number.

30-second Undo for policy and pause changes

After switching your blocking level or pausing filtering, an Undo toast appears for 30 seconds. Tap Undo to reverse the change instantly — idempotent, so tapping twice is safe.

Privacy preference changes now appear in Activity history

Updating your privacy preferences or notification settings now writes a record to your Activity history page, so every change to your account is visible in one place.

Anonymous page-view tracking — server-side, not browser-side

Public pages now fire a server-side page_view event using your anonymous session cookie. No query-string parameters, no browsing history, no browser beacons. Opt out at any time under Privacy settings.

Updated privacy page with full analytics inventory

The privacy page now lists every event we collect and everything we explicitly never collect — DNS query history, browsing history, URL parameters, search queries, AI prompts, tokens, and more.

Extension download event

When you download the optional desktop extension ZIP from your dashboard, a server-side extension_downloaded event is fired. The extension itself has no analytics runtime and cannot see your browsing.

What's New modal now fully keyboard and screen-reader accessible

The modal traps focus while open, closes with Escape, returns focus to the page when dismissed, and now includes proper ARIA dialog markup. Animations also respect your system's reduced-motion preference.

Usage analytics connected to your Pulse dashboard

Product events — policy changes, pause starts, activation — are now tracked server-side and flow into the Pulse Analytics dashboard in real time. No browser-side beacons, no ad-blocker interference. Operator accounts and users who have opted out of recording are automatically excluded at both the app and the Pulse ingest layer.

A/B experiment tab in Pulse

The Pulse dashboard now has an Experiments tab showing every running A/B test with per-variant assignment, exposure, and conversion counts plus lift-vs-control. Variants are assigned deterministically per user — same user always gets the same variant across sessions.

No more guessing during router setup

If your subscription is active but your router isn't connected yet, the dashboard now shows a clear setup checklist and a direct link so you know exactly what to do next.

Full account activity history

Every policy change, pause, resume, and subscription event is now logged on your Activity page — so nothing that happens to your account feels like a black box.

Keyboard, screen reader, and reduced-motion support

All modals and tooltips now work correctly with keyboard navigation and screen readers, and respect your system's reduced-motion preference.

Pause blocking on demand

Suspend filtering for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours straight from the dashboard — no settings changes — and it resumes automatically.

Dashboard always up to date

Stats and the device chart refresh automatically when you open the dashboard — no manual refresh needed.

Device chart now shows your actual gear

The breakdown chart groups your detected devices — Chromecast, Fitbit, Echo, and more — by CTV and IoT, matching the device cards below.

Weekly recap in your inbox

Every active household now gets a weekly email summarising total blocks, week-over-week change, and the top offending domains — no setup required.

ISP detection during setup

Setup now detects your ISP automatically and surfaces a warning for carriers known to hijack DNS or run CGNAT, so you know up front when extra steps may be needed.

Block trackers at the network level

Point your router at Datante and every device in your home — TVs, speakers, phones, IoT — is covered by Standard, Enhanced, or Maximum blocking, with a live dashboard and one-click level switching.
