It can actually download compared to others lol

It's better than no context menu at all, but both of its options want to save everything with a ".txt" exension, so the Download option is basically useless, and the Save As option you'll have to manually correct the extension. I'm not sure if it does this to EVERY file. Maybe it has an internal list of extensions is recognizes, but in every case I've tried to far, it wanted to use ".txt".
