Magnet Linker is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the experience of managing torrents via Transmission. It extends existing magnet links by adding a convenient button that allows users to quickly add torrents directly to Transmission through its RPC API. This eliminates the need for manual input, streamlining the torrent downloading process.

Additionally, Magnet Linker supports customization options including the ability to insert custom HTML elements before and after the add button based on specific website URLs. Users can also adjust the button's layout by modifying the div float property, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with various webpage designs. This extension is ideal for users seeking efficient torrent management with Transmission alongside flexible UI customization.

Another 5 star review. Works great on TPB but since there are a lot of other mirror sites with similar names it would have been useful to find an add on that can take any magnet link and send it to transmission. But this solves 90% of the use case and does it all in 1 button. Solid 6/5 extension

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.

Magnet linker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
