Is Downloader for anything safe?
Downloader for anything collects page and media URLs from sites you visit for its local download list.
The extension runs on HTTP and HTTPS pages and scans each page for downloadable links, images, audio, video, embeds, and matching media URLs found in the page HTML. It also records response URL, content type, and length metadata from browser requests so the popup can show available downloads. The reviewed code stores this discovery data in the extension's local lists for its download UI, with no supported automatic remote recipient.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
Publishers can request a review.
