Features & Capabilities

Hand browser downloads over to the Fetchster macOS menu-bar app.

How it works

Downloads started in the browser are handed to the Fetchster app on your Mac over native messaging — no save dialogs, no duplicate downloads.
Right-click any link → Download with Fetchster (works for magnet: and .torrent links).
If the Fetchster app isn't running, the browser downloads normally.

It does not inject scripts into pages or read page content.
It does not request access to cookies, history, or browsing activity.
It only sends the download URL and the browser's User-Agent to the Fetchster app running on your own machine.

Permissions

nativeMessaging — talk to the Fetchster app
downloads — hand off and cancel browser downloads
contextMenus — the "Download with Fetchster" right-click menu
storage — remember the capture toggle
notifications — confirm a download was added

No data leaves your computer. All processing happens locally between the extension and the Fetchster app on your Mac.

Is Fetchster Capture 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.

Fetchster Capture requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Fetchster Capture is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
