Universal Downloader is a versatile Chrome extension designed to help you download most HTML5 media from various web pages. If you find that right-click is disabled by a website, simply hold the Shift key while right-clicking to access the context menu and start downloading your media files hassle-free.

While the extension does not support downloading m3u links directly, it guides users to utilize tools like youtube-dl or media players such as MPV and VLC for playback or downloading of these streams. For those seeking transparency and community support, the extension's source code and issue tracker are available on GitHub, ensuring users can contribute or troubleshoot as needed.

This does not work as it used to. In fact it does not work at all when you down load it. Look at the reviews 3 of them 4 years old and no 2 or 3/4 star reviews. Reporting for review manipulation. I know for a fact there were older ones that were 2,3,4 etc...

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.

Universal downloader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Universal downloader has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
