User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's ability to bulk download multiple files efficiently, especially PDFs and ringtones, and find the UI generally workable after adjustments. However, common issues include inability to set or change download folders flexibly, a popup UI that's either too small or demands excessive space, problems handling files with non-English or special characters, occasional crashes with duplicate filenames, and limited functionality on many media streaming sites.

Pros

Effectively downloads multiple files in bulk, saving significant time.
User interface is generally nice and functional after some adjustment.
Useful for downloading large numbers of files such as PDFs and ringtones.
Supports file renaming and organizing to some extent.

Cons

Cannot change download folder destination manually or automatically by URL path.
Popup interface is too small or requires too much space, making navigation difficult.
Fails to download files with non-English characters or certain special characters in filenames.
Crashes when downloading multiple files with the same filename.
Does not work well or at all on some streaming or specific media sites.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Download Links requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Download Links has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
