<h1 id="how-to-restore-a-missing-site-list-after-v4969-update">How to restore a missing Site List after v4.9.69 update</h1>
25+
<p>There was an error in version <strong>4.9.69</strong>: users who had a very big <strong>Site List</strong> may have it disappeared 🤷.
26+
Only Google Chrome users could have this update.
27+
Here are some instructions for restoring a part of the Site List.</p>
28+
<h3 id="storage">Storage</h3>
29+
<p>There are 2 types of extension&#39;s storage:</p>
30+
<ul>
31+
<li><strong><code>sync</code></strong> synchronizes settings across devices (default).</li>
32+
<li><strong><code>local</code></strong> stores the settings locally.</li>
33+
</ul>
34+
<p>When users hit a <strong>size limit</strong>, they are switched from <code>sync</code> to <code>local</code> storage.
35+
Due to <strong>The Bug</strong> the Site List was removed from the <code>local</code> storage.
36+
But some websites could be still saved in the <code>sync</code> storage.</p>
37+
<h2 id="restoring-the-site-list">Restoring the Site List</h2>
38+
<h3 id="opening-the-extensions-background-console">Opening the extensions&#39; background Console</h3>
39+
<ol>
40+
<li>Go to <a href="chrome://extensions">chrome://extensions</a> page.</li>
41+
<li>Enable <strong>Developer mode</strong>.</li>
42+
<li>Find <strong>Dark Reader</strong> and click <a href="background/index.html">background/index.html</a>.</li>
43+
<li>Open <strong>Console</strong> tab.</li>
44+
</ol>
45+
<img src="/images/tips/bug-4-9-69-page.png" alt="Chrome Extensions page" style="width: 24rem;" loading="lazy" />
46+
47+
<h3 id="viewing-the-stored-site-list">Viewing the stored Site List</h3>
48+
<style>
49+
pre {
50+
background-color: #090e10;
51+
color: #53b26f;
52+
}
53+
</style>
54+
55+
<p>First let&#39;s see if the settings synchronization is turned off.
56+
Put the cursor after <strong><code>&gt;</code></strong> mark, copy/paste the following code block and press <strong>Enter</strong> to run it.
57+
If you see <strong><code>syncSettings: false</code></strong> it means it is turned off:</p>
58+
<pre><code>chrome.storage.local.get(
59+
{
60+
syncSettings: true,
61+
},
62+
settings =&gt; {
63+
console.log(settings);
64+
},
65+
);
66+
</code></pre>
67+
<p>Lets see if there are any sites in the <code>sync</code> storage:</p>
68+
<pre><code>chrome.storage.sync.get(
69+
{
70+
enabledFor: [],
71+
disabledFor: [],
72+
},
73+
sites =&gt; {
74+
console.log(sites);
75+
},
76+
);
77+
</code></pre>
78+
<p>This should display the sites from the <code>local</code> storage:</p>
79+
<pre><code>chrome.storage.local.get(
80+
{
81+
enabledFor: [],
82+
disabledFor: [],
83+
},
84+
sites =&gt; {
85+
console.log(sites);
86+
},
87+
);
88+
</code></pre>
89+
<h3 id="moving-sites-from-sync-to-local-storage">Moving sites from Sync to Local storage</h3>
90+
<p>The following code snippet copies the sites from the Sync storage into the Local storage and reloads the extension:</p>
91+
<pre><code>chrome.storage.sync.get(
92+
{
93+
enabledFor: [],
94+
disabledFor: [],
95+
},
96+
sites =&gt; {
97+
chrome.storage.sync.set(
98+
sites,
99+
() =&gt; {
100+
chrome.runtime.reload();
101+
},
102+
);
103+
},
104+
);
105+
</code></pre>
106+
<h3 id="enabling-settings-synchronization">Enabling settings synchronization</h3>
107+
<p>The following code snippet enables the settings synchronization:</p>
108+
<pre><code>chrome.storage.local.set(
109+
{
110+
syncSettings: true,
111+
},
112+
() =&gt; {
113+
chrome.runtime.reload();
114+
},
115+
);
116+
</code></pre>
117+
<h2 id="reducing-the-site-list">Reducing the Site List</h2>
118+
<p>Please consider the following options to avoid the Site List becoming large:</p>
119+
<ol>
120+
<li><strong>Detect Dark Theme</strong> option.</li>
121+
</ol>
