User reviews

Users find Image Max URL very useful for downloading full-sized images from albums like Patreon and appreciate its ability to fetch larger images. However, multiple users complain about inconsistent reliability, especially on DeviantArt, and the lack of a whitelist feature to control on which sites the extension is active. Some report it stopped working without changes to settings, and issues with media processing like mislabeling .mp4 files. Despite these issues, when functional, the extension is valued for its intended purpose.

Stopped working properly for some users without any change in settings, indicating possible maintenance issues.
Incorrectly processes some media types, such as converting .mp4 files to .jpg, leading to functionality problems.

Extremely useful for downloading full sized images from albums. For example, an entire image album can be downloaded from Patreon at once without accidentally downloading anything else.

Extension safety

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.

Image Max URL requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
