Features & Capabilities

Save In… is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your download experience by adding a context menu to save various media types—including images, videos, audio, links, selections, and entire pages—directly into user-defined directories relative to your default download location. It supports saving into dynamically named folders and offers flexible, rules-based download renaming and routing to keep your files organized automatically.

Additionally, Save In… allows you to save files as shortcuts (.url, .desktop, .html redirect) and cleverly navigates browser limitations using symbolic links to enable downloads into directories beyond the default location. With careful permission handling and options, this extension is customizable to fit your download management workflow seamlessly. Configure it before use for best results and enhanced browser download control.

User Reviews

Users praise Save In… for reliably saving to the Downloads folder, routing to many custom folders with quick access, and saving time. However, repeated issues include compatibility breakage across Firefox updates and site-specific problems (Instagram, Twitter, etc.), unreliability in file extension handling, and features that dont work outside the context menu. The UI path-management can be tedious and has a learning curve, and the documentation is lacking. Overall, it highly valued by power users when it works, but many reports indicate ongoing reliability problems and usability gaps.

Pros

Saves to the Downloads folder by default, solving the common "+Save As…" location issue.
Allows saving to many folders via the context menu and hotkeys, enabling fast, organized saving.
Generally reliable and improves the saving workflow; users report ys it cks 'just works'.
Offers flexible filename/extension handling and customizable routing (including site-specific workarounds).
Highly recommended by power users who need multi-folder saves and quick access.

Cons

Compatibility issues and breakage after Firefox updates or on certain sites (e.g., Instagram, Twitter; not working on v136.0).
Core features like saving by file extension can be broken or produce incorrect extensions.
Partial functionality: some features are only accessible via the context menu; the UI/path-management can be tedious and has a learning curve.
Documentation is sparse or missing, making setup and troubleshooting harder.

Please update this addon if possible. It is one of the best addons I've had. I've used it for years, and I want to continue using it.

Is Save In… Safe?

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

Risk likelihood

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Save In… has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
