Is Motrix WebExtension safe?
Motrix WebExtension sends intercepted download details to the local Motrix/Aria2 JSON-RPC service.
When it handles an eligible download, the extension pauses the browser download, reads matching cookies for the download URL, and sends the URL, referrer, cookies, and filename details to the local Motrix/Aria2 JSON-RPC endpoint. After a successful handoff, it cancels and erases the browser download while tracking the Aria2 download in extension storage.
