Short description
A Chrome extension to assist with downloading multiple files from a Plex server Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Full summary

Browse to any album (music, photos, movie collection or tv season) and click the extention icon and then download to start downloading the whole album. Downloading only the selected files is currently only possible for music albums. If you want to do the same for photos one workaround is to add the selected photos to a new (temporary) album and then download that.

Patchnotes:

  • v1.1 Changed file name of TV Episodes to format 'Series name - SxxExx - episode name.format'
  • v1.0 First official release.
  • v0.9 Fixed download of photo albums.
  • v0.8 The extension now matches host "app.plex.tv" and path "/web/index.html" to try and not be in your face on pages that have nothing to do with Plex.
  • v0.7 Added path match "desktop" because the host app.plex.tv isn't using the same path as the self hosted version.
  • v0.6 The downloads are now queued in a background script so they will continue even if the active tab is changed. Also rewriting file/pathnames to not conflict with Windows path restrictions.

Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers based on their behavior. Privacy Badger sends the Global Privacy Control signal to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track signal to tell companies not to track you. If trackers ignore your wishes, Privacy Badger will learn to block them.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger replaces potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.) with click-to-activate placeholders, and removes outgoing link click tracking on Facebook and Google, with more privacy protections on the way.

*** Why does Privacy Badger need to read and change all my data on the websites I visit? ***

When you install Privacy Badger, your browser warns that Privacy Badger can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit”. You are right to be alarmed. You should only install extensions made by organizations you trust.

Privacy Badger requires these permissions to do its job of automatically detecting and blocking trackers on all websites you visit. We are not ironically (or unironically) spying on you. For more information, see our Privacy Badger extension permissions explainer: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/blob/master/doc/permissions.md

Note that the extension permissions warnings only cover what the extension has access to, not what the extension actually does with what it has access to (such as whether the extension secretly uploads your browsing data to its servers). Privacy Badger will never share data about your browsing unless you choose to share it (by filing a broken site report).
