Add-on summary
gimme gimme gimme
A WebExtension for downloading media from webpages, especially tuned downloading image galleries with thumbnails that point to detail pages with large versions of the image on them. It also supports downloading the media shown on a page, and digging galleries of galleries. You'll find code for experimental features for downloading audio and for downloading video (the buttons are just hidden), but the gallery digging is always priority #1.
Two terms are used for the automatic media-finding: Dig and Scrape. Dig is for galleries, and galleries of galleries -- sites where one must dig into the detail pages to find the original media. Scrape is for getting media that is directly on the page.
As mentioned before, code is there to download video and audio files as well, but is not currently exposed and has not been tested much. Feel free to un-hide the extra buttons in popup/style.css to download the other media types. The event handlers and back-end are all set up, just the buttons are hidden.
This extension works with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge -- it can be found in all three extension stores in addition to in this repo.
v0.4.13
Bugfixes were plentiful. Lots of valid images were being discarded for nitpicky ivory-tower-only reasons. Upgraded npm packages too.
Updated options/preferences page to work again.
