Multiple File Downloader

Downloads multiple files from any page

Multiple File Downloader is a Chrome extension that simplifies the process of downloading multiple files simultaneously from any webpage. It detects downloadable content using the HTML5 "download" attribute, allowing you to easily select which files to download through a convenient interface triggered by an icon in your address bar.

This tool supports both HTML5 and non-HTML5 pages, making it versatile for everyday browsing and web development. Developers can enhance their sites by adding the "download" attribute to anchor tags to enable multi-file download capabilities. The extension also manages file naming conflicts and destination directories automatically, ensuring a smooth download experience. As an open-source project, its source code is available on GitHub for community collaboration and improvement.

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.

Multiple File Downloader requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
