Full summary

Pixiv Art Downloader lets you download art as you browse through Pixiv. To use, go to the image or album and click Megumin (the extension icon) or press Alt+Shift+V. The extension will download the image or album under the subfolder "Pixiv Art Downloader" in your Chrome downloads folder. The subfolder can be renamed in the options for the extension, or uncheck the box to download directly to the Chrome downloads folder.

v1.2.11: Updated extension to hopefully be more robust with internal Pixiv changes. Please check "Automatically allow access on the following sites" under Site access on the extension page.

Notes:

  1. The extension downloads images in their original resolution, so make sure you're logged in to Pixiv or the extension won't work.
  2. Don't close the Chrome tab before the extension finishes downloading the entire album/artist page or the remaining images will not be downloaded.
  3. All thumbnails have to be loaded on an artist page before it can be properly downloaded. Otherwise the images/albums associated with the thumbnails that aren't loaded may not be downloaded.
  4. Unfortunately, you cannot change the subfolder outside of the Chrome Downloads directory, so please change your default directory in Settings > Advanced > Downloads Location for Chrome first, then the subfolder in the options menu of the extension.

AdGuard ad blocker effectively blocks all types of ads on all web pages, even on Facebook, YouTube and others!

What AdGuard ad blocker does:

★ Blocks all ads: video ads (includes YouTube adblock), rich media advertising, unwanted pop-ups, banners and text ads (includes Facebook adblock); ★ Speeds up page loading and saves bandwidth, thanks to the missing ads and pop-up windows; ★ Protects your privacy by blocking common third-party tracking systems; ★ Blocks many spyware, adware, and dialer installers; ★ Protects you from malware and phishing.

What are the advantages of AdGuard over Adblock or Adblock Plus?

★ AdGuard ad blocker is really fast and lightweight. It uses half as much memory as other popular solutions: Adblock, Adblock Plus, and even outperforms uBlock Adblocker in some tests; ★ AdGuard can handle most of the adblock circumvention scripts; ★ AdGuard is simply better looking and modern (in our opinion).
