User Reviews

Two reviews note the add-on performs well in Firefox, but multiple issues hamper usability: site-exclusion is ignored, uninstallation is problematic, updates are overdue, and there is no file-type control. Users also request better Tor/VPN integration for restricted regions. Overall, the add-on is usable but needs maintenance and feature improvements.

Pros

Works pretty well / good performance
Operates as a Firefox extension (works in Firefox)

Cons

Does not honor per-site exclusion settings; still downloads from sites the user marked to skip
Difficult or impossible to uninstall
Hasn't been updated for a long time (outdated), with last update several years ago
Lacks file-type filtering or the ability to exclude certain download types (e.g., torrents)
Limited Tor/VPN compatibility; users want in-browser downloads or built-in VPN integration

Is Download Master Safe?

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 Master requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Add-ons Store, 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 Master has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
