AB Download Manager Browser Integration Repository

If you are looking for the main app repository, use this link.

Usage

In order to use this extension you need to install AB Download Manager.

This extension does the following

  • Adds a Download With AB DM in browser's context menu
  • Automatically captures download links when the user wants to download the file from their browser
  • Show a Download Selected popup when the user selects some section of the page that contains links

How To Build

In order to build this extension locally:

I am developing this on Windows using npm, but it should have the same result on other build environments.

# install dependencies
npm i

# for firefox
npm run pack:firefox
# for chrome
npm run pack:chrome

The output zip file containing the extension will be placed at ./dist/<browser_name>.zip.
