Is cat-catch safe?
cat-catch lets any HTTP(S) page send background commands that can turn on auto-download and queue media URLs.
The content script runs on every HTTP and HTTPS page and forwards window messages to the background script without checking their origin. A page can use that relay to enable the extension's auto-download mode and submit a chosen media URL, causing Chrome's download manager to fetch it. The extension also keeps matched media URLs and selected request headers in browser storage for its popup and download helpers.
