Is AB Download Manager Browser Integration safe?
Clean risk
AB Download Manager Browser Integration forwards cookies and request headers for download URLs to the locally installed desktop app.
When a download link is triggered, the extension reads cookies for that URL via chrome.cookies.getAll and captures any Authorization or Cookie headers from the intercepted request. This data is sent via HTTP POST to the AB Download Manager desktop app listening on localhost (default port 15151). The sendHeaders option, enabled by default, controls whether cookies and headers are included in the handoff.
