The Stream Detector PLUS is an enhanced Chrome extension forked from the original Stream Detector. It detects streaming playlists and subtitles from formats like Apple HLS, Adobe HDS, MPEG-DASH, and Microsoft Smooth Streaming. The extension also supports custom file extensions and headers, making it versatile for various streaming protocols.

It simplifies capturing streaming URLs by assembling ready-made commands compatible with widely used tools such as yt-dlp, FFmpeg, Streamlink, hlsdl, N_m3u8DL-RE, and mpv. Users benefit from customizable settings including disabling notifications to prevent playback stutters and the option to skip reading browser cookies, optimizing download performance. This extension is ideal for users who want to track, manage, and download streaming media efficiently.

Thank you for continuing this. Middle-clicking toolbar icon doesn't open anything as the original extension. Can you check it if you have time.

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.

The Stream Detector PLUS 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

The Stream Detector PLUS has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
