Download with JDownloader Extension
Integrate your browser with JDownloader for efficient downloading! This extension allows you to manage downloads in two ways: 1) Send download jobs directly from the right-click context menu, and 2) Interrupt the built-in download manager to route requests to JDownloader. While the interruption mode is off by default, simply click the action button in your toolbar to activate it.
To connect the extension with JDownloader, you need the native client installed, which can be easily set up with the provided instructions. This extension functions optimally with JDownloader running, although the native client is necessary only when the local server is not available. New features in the latest versions include link downloading and better tab handling. Get ready for seamless downloading today!
