Works great for saving images

Cons

Missing default folder selection

Deceptive description regarding permissions
Requires unnecessary permissions

Recent reviews

please add selecting a default folder and pretty please add a hotkey for activation. or at if thats problematic maybe a hotkey for inside the context menu to highlight select your addons save image entry (like edge already has for other entries), so it could be triggered by a macro simulating the right click and follow up actions essentially creating a hotkey as a workaround.

Deceptive description. Why does this extension require "Read your browsing history" permission? It advertises "requires less and unnecessary privileges than other extensions of this kind" but there are plenty of similar extensions that require ONLY permission to "Manage your downloads."
