Fredric Apps v1.0.40.1 Release Notes: AdBlock Layout Alignment & Header Provider Tags

Fredric Apps Web Utility Hub (apps.fredric18.uk) has been updated to v1.0.40.1. This release delivers essential AdBlock compatibility enhancements, responsive mini-icon layout optimizations, and clear affiliate provider tag indicators across all curated deal banners.

Key Enhancements

1. AdBlock Clean Collapse & Aesthetic Harmonization

The container identifiers and wrapper classes for the AliExpress banner components were standardized to match established global ad placement patterns (top-ad-banner, bottom-ad-banner). When browser ad blockers (such as AdBlock or uBlock Origin) are enabled, the ad container collapses smoothly without leaving unsightly borders, vacant rectangular placeholders, or awkward whitespace.

Additionally, the explore action button background has been aligned with the clean, neutral slate/white card style, ensuring visual harmony even during partial element filtering.

2. Responsive Mini-Icon Transition Threshold at 95px

To prevent typography cramping for “SuperDeals” and “AliExpress” on narrower displays, the responsive breakpoint for switching to the compact mini-icon mode (Flame icon + “Go”) was calibrated from 75px to 95px. Full text and branding render crisply whenever 95px or more is available, seamlessly transitioning into an elegant icon button on more constrained screens without horizontal layout shift.

3. Provider Badges in All Curated Deal Headers

To ensure transparent and structured affiliate disclosures, localized provider tags are now rendered alongside the ‘Featured Deals & Specials’ header title across all banner zones:

  • Top Banner: [Coupang] [AliExpress] (/ko) / [Amazon] [AliExpress] (/en)
  • Mid Banner: [Amazon] [AliExpress] (both /ko and /en)
  • Bottom Banner: [AliExpress] [Coupang] (/ko) / [AliExpress] [Amazon] (/en)

Following our architectural SSOT rules, all provider definitions and selectors are centralized in @/lib/i18n, maintaining zero inline locale conditions in presentation components.
