Extension summary
7/29/2024: An update required a change to the URLs that this extension is active on (to support the "www" no longer being included by Flickr in their default scheme), which may require you to manually re-enable the extension for it to work.
Note from the Developer: If you find something is not working, please use the "Support" option to let me know before leaving a negative review.
As you can tell from the release notes below, the websites this extension works on change their structure in a way that breaks this extension's functionality periodically. I have no affiliation with them, so don't know when those changes are going to happen until they get released to my account and I happen to run into the situation myself, then need to find free time to implement and release a change. Letting me know that something is not working using the Support option helps expedite that process.
One known issue is that there was a change on IG that caused video download functionality to break, and I haven't yet been able to find a workaround for it. I apologize for the issue, and will update things once I'm able to find a workaround.
Summary: This extension is the only way to immediately save any image from Instagram or Flickr with a single right-click context menu click!
Images from the main feed, a post or photo's page, or a user's overview or favorites page will save directly to your browser's default download location when you click on the option this extension adds to the right-click context menu.
