Features & Capabilities

GitHub Easy Download adds a smart one-click download button to GitHub repository pages.

When you visit a repo that publishes releases, the extension:

Automatically detects your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
Finds the matching installer file from the latest release
Lets you download it with a single click — no more digging through file lists trying to figure out which .exe, .dmg, or .deb is right

If it can't confidently match a file to your system, it shows you the full list of available files so you can choose manually. And if a project doesn't publish downloadable files at all, it tells you that clearly instead of doing nothing.

This extension doesn't collect or transmit any personal data — it only talks to GitHub's public API to look up release information for the repo you're currently viewing.

Is GitHub Easy Download 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.

GitHub Easy Download requires a few 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.

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