Is Click Image Download safe?

Low risk

Click Image Download lets page-generated alt-click events trigger extension-managed image downloads.

Its content script runs on all sites and treats any alt-click on an image as a download request, without checking whether the click was a real user action. A page can dispatch a synthetic click on an image URL it chooses, causing the extension to call Chrome's downloads API and save the image without a save dialog.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
