Version 1.2.x vs. 1.1.x (3/5/2011): (i) added the ability to move regular blocked domains to Perma-ban, and to unblock Perma-ban domains without first moving them to the regular blocklist; (ii) added sorting and auto-sorting of the lists; (iii) incorporated the auto-update script from sizzlemctwizzle, however, any error in implementation probably is my fault.

Version 1.1.x vs. 1.0.x (2/25/2011): (i) added export button to expose the block list for backing up or copying to a different Firefox profile; (ii) minor appearance fixes; (iii) {v1.1.1} strip port numbers so domain is blocked regardless of port number.

Version 1.0.x vs. 0.9x (2/19/2011): (i) added features to toggle UI between showing Manage Hiding and block buttons, just block buttons, or just Manage Hiding; (ii) revised behavior when clicking a suppressed hit notice; (iii) added support for encrypted version of Google; (iv) removed block buttons for links to the Google site you're using.

Version 0.8x vs. 0.7x (2/5/2011): (i) added a feature to permanently hide domains for which you never want to see notices, and a second list in the management pane to manage those domains; (ii) added a preference that lets you edit the button captions, but you need to use about:config and filter on hider to get to it.

Version 0.7x vs. 0.6x (2/3/2011): (i) added a management pane to view and remove blocked domains; (ii) changed block dialog to show full domain and partial domain choices, rather than providing an editing box (hopefully more convenient and reduced risk of error).

Version 0.6x vs. 0.5x (1/29/2011): (i) now uses google.tld so it should cover country code domain versions of Google; (ii) a new UnHide button appears next to the Sign In (or Sign Out) link at the upper right if the hidden hit notices have been suppressed; (iii) a little more functionality with Google News search results.
