Origin
In daily work and life, for example on GitHub release pages, I often need to click multiple download links, which is really annoying. It’s even worse if you have the download location confirmation dialog enabled. To solve this problem once and for all, I decided to build a Chrome extension.
Feature Design
The general idea:
- Select an area on the page, automatically extract all links within it, click download, and Chrome directly initiates N downloads for all the links.
- Support blocking links with specific file extensions, with settings saved so that future visits to the same site can use quick downloads right away.
Development
Once the features were clear, development was straightforward. I found a Chrome extension template, quickly coded it based on the feature design, tested it without issues, and published it to the Chrome Web Store. If you’re interested, you can download it directly.
Notes
To avoid the browser prompting for a save location on every download, you need to manually disable that setting - the extension cannot override this.
