Summary
The "Bulk Media Downloader" extension is a downloader that collects all sorts of media file resources (images, audio, and video) and allows you to batch download them with the default download manager of your browser or a custom download manager. ----- Please note that Bulk Media Downloader does not grab YouTube links. This is NOT a YouTube downloader ----- With this extension, you can bulk download media files. Just open the grabber window by pressing the toolbar button. Now allow the extension to fetch media resources. If a media file is in a tab that has already been loaded, you need to refresh the tab for the media link to appear in the grabber window. After the desired media link is detected, press the pause button to ask the extension to stop monitoring your network In oppose to the other similar extensions, this extension has zero impact on your browser performance when the grabber window is closed. Monitoring the network resources only occurs when the grabber window is open and there is an "R" badge notification in the toolbar area. ---- Please note that Bulk Media Downloader is not responsible for media content that you download. We suggest checking the media copyright before downloading them.

Safety
Risk impact
Bulk Media Downloader requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Bulk Media Downloader if you trust the publisher.
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, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Risk likelihood
Bulk Media Downloader has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
