Is pixiv smart downloader safe?
pixiv smart downloader lets any website trigger its saved Pixiv image ZIP download workflow.
The extension stores selected Pixiv image items locally, then its download page reads those saved selections, fetches the original images from Pixiv, creates images.zip, and clears the saved data. Because that download page is exposed to all websites, any site can open it and start the workflow.
