About this extension
Magic Downloader is a browser companion for the free, open-source Magic Downloader desktop app (Windows).
• Detects video and streams on any page — direct HLS (.m3u8) and DASH (.mpd), plain MP4, and ~1800 sites via yt-dlp — and overlays a blue "⬇ Download" button right on the player. A badge shows how many videos were found.
• The popup lists every available quality/format so you can pick one.
• Right-click any link → "Download with Magic Downloader".
• Optionally capture the browser's own downloads (off by default).
When you choose something, the extension hands the URL to the desktop app (running on your own computer at http://127.0.0.1:7373), which downloads it with multiple parallel connections, pause/resume, and a queue.
Privacy: page/media URLs go only to the app on your own machine — never to the developer. Login cookies are OFF by default and opt-in only (a popup toggle that asks permission), used just for private/authenticated downloads. No analytics, no remote code.
Requires the desktop app: https://github.com/Bayoumi68/Magic-Downloader
