## Description

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.
