The project aims to produce an add-on for each of several browsers to enhance pages that contain a lot of downloadable content. The goal is to make file downloads from the web straightforward and manageable.
The model for each of these add-ons is simple. Detect downloadable content on a page and unobtrusively inform the page user. Then, when the user clicks on the presented control, downloadable content is gathered into an interactive list for selection and one-click download of desired files.
Downloadable content is detected by the presence of the HTML5 download attribute in anchor tags. This simple mechanism gives the browser all it needs to offer multiple-file download as declared by the web page author or application.
We are targeting four browsers initially. Come back to this section to see if it is available for your browser. Also check out the requirements page to see what you can expect for your browser.
- Chrome : Web Store
- Safari : Researching
- IE : Not yet started
- Firefox : Mozilla Add-on
