Is Download Master safe?
Download Master forwards download URLs, referrers, and referrer cookies to its native host.
When a browser download qualifies for Download Master handling, the extension sends the download URL, referrer, filename, and cookies for the referrer page to the local native host. It also sends referrer cookies through the same native messaging path when users add selected or bulk URLs.
