Features & Capabilities

Host Grabber ++ is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help users find and download media files such as images from various web hosts, including popular ones like Imagebam. Rebuilt from the ground up for modern browsers, it uses an online dictionary to accurately extract downloadable links. While downloads save directly to your default folder due to browser restrictions, this tool streamlines media downloading efficiently. Note that it may not work with all websites, but contributions and improvements are welcome on its GitHub repository, fostering community-driven enhancements.

User Reviews

User feedback highlights a mixed picture: the add-on delivers the core image-downloading capability and is praised by some for being more capable than competitors and usable once you learn its workflow. However, it suffers from reliability issues, a steep learning curve, and inconsistent host coverage. Several reviews request more hosted sites, report corrupted downloads, or note the project may not be actively maintained, raising concerns about future compatibility.

Pros

Does exactly what it's supposed to do and is a capable image downloader.
Straightforward to use once you figure out the workflow.
Considered better than other image downloaders by some users.

Cons

Often not working or unreliable (downloads fail or images don't download).
Not intuitive; requires a learning curve or deeper technical knowledge.
Missing host support / limited host coverage; users want more hosts.
Some downloads result in corrupted or unviewable images.
Maintenance status is unclear; concerns about lack of updates / future compatibility.

Is Host Grabber ++ 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.

Host Grabber ++ requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
