User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's simplicity and one-click functionality for saving images directly to the download folder. However, common complaints include that it often saves only thumbnails instead of full-size images, struggles with WebP format and platforms like Google Photos, and lacks features like choosing a download folder or automatically adding file extensions. Additionally, some users note it stopped working properly after browser updates, reducing its overall reliability.

Pros

Saves images quickly without multiple clicks, providing a one-click solution.
Effective for saving images other than .webp format, useful for those who dislike WebP downloads in Firefox and Edge.
Lightweight and straightforward with minimal complications.

Cons

Does not save full-size images, often only saving thumbnails instead of actual images.
Fails to work correctly with WebP images and certain platforms like Google Photos.
Lacks the ability to select or change the download folder, forcing images into the default download directory.
Sometimes saves images without file extensions, requiring manual renaming.
Stopped working or behaves inconsistently after Firefox updates.

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.

Save Image to Downloads requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
