## Description

Cute Save Button places a small, unobtrusive floating button over any image or video under your cursor so you can save files instantly — click the button or press Space to save. It removes extra menus and popups and supports customizable hotkeys and multiple save locations for fast, seamless downloading.

Advanced options include right-click (or Ctrl+Space) to save with the original filename, middle-click to save and copy the URL, and always downloading full-size images for vk, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. Hold Shift for a “deep scan” (checks background-image and ignores size filters), Alt+Q to hide the button, and Ctrl to prevent it from auto-hiding. You can also set a custom icon and configure hotkeys to suit your workflow. (Links: GitHub and Chrome Web Store.)
