Rated 5 out of 5
by Naresh, 8 years agoThis extension is a complete lifesaver! Thanks a lot for all the effort you have put into this.
However, I have temporarily reduced a star in the rating because I noticed that your latest update requires permission to 'Download files and read & modify my download history' and I wasn't completely sure why that was needed. Can you please shed some light on this?
EDIT: Thanks a lot for the quick reply! That commit explains the changed permissions.

Developer response
posted 8 years agoHappy to explain. Access to the download manager was needed for the export options function (implemented in v0.4). Given the constraints of WebExtensions, the easiest way to deliver a file to the user is via downloads. You can confirm from the source code (available on GitHub) that this is the only use of the download manager.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tember, 16 days agoEvery time I think I've stumbled upon a feature that I think is absent it always seems to exist when I look a little further into it. Works perfectly.
Thank you James for this addon! - Rated 5 out of 5by Molly, 18 days agoBit of a learning curve but after that it's easy to use and works flawlessly!
