Used alongside the JSTorrent BitTorrent edge app, adds extra functionality

JSTorrent Helper Extension: Enhancing BitTorrent Experience

The 'JSTorrent Helper Extension' is an Edge browser add-on designed to work alongside the JSTorrent BitTorrent app. It augments the functionality of the app by adding a context menu 'Add to JSTorrent' that enables you to directly load .torrent or magnet links found on the web into JSTorrent. The extension also detects if the partner application is installed and prompts the user to install it or its free trial version, thereby simplifying its usage. The latest update further streamlines its operations, removing unnecessary permissions.
