## Description

<strong>Firelink Browser Extension</strong> is the official companion to the Firelink macOS download manager. It bridges the gap between your browser and your desktop, allowing you to seamlessly hand off downloads to Firelink for faster, more organized file management.

<strong>Key Features:</strong>
* <strong>Automatic Interception:</strong> Toggle "Global Capture" to automatically forward all your browser downloads straight to the Firelink desktop app.
* <strong>Context Menu Integration:</strong> Right-click on any link or image and choose "Download with Firelink" to send it to the manager instantly.
* <strong>Smart Selection:</strong> Highlight a block of text, right-click, and select "Download selected with Firelink" to automatically extract and send all links within the selection.
* <strong>Site Exclusions:</strong> Easily disable download interception on specific websites directly from the extension popup.
* <strong>Light &amp; Dark Mode:</strong> A beautiful, responsive popup UI that respects your system theme.

<strong>⚠ Important Requirement:</strong>
This extension does not function independently. It requires the <strong>Firelink application</strong> to be installed and running on your computer. The extension communicates securely with the local Firelink app to process your downloads.

<strong>Privacy First:</strong>
We respect your privacy. This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or browsing history to remote servers. All link processing happens entirely on your local machine.
