Hello,
Are there any recommendations for web extensions to download images from pages you’re visiting?
I don’t normally use an extension; instead filtering through by using the Dev Tools, but these aren’t available on mobile iirc?
Thank you for your time and I really appreciate any suggestions or direction you may be able to provide!
Have a great New Year!
It might help if you could mention the ones you’ve tried and why they didn’t work you and any specific features you’re looking for not available from these existing extensions.
Sorry about that.
I’ve used one or more extensions for this purpose, but only on desktop and it was so short lived I don’t recall the names. I quickly shifted to using the Dev Tools as it didn’t require trusting an extension.
So, I guess one of the main focuses or concerns would be open source to help provide some slight reassurance regarding security and privacy.
Minimal permissions is also an aspect I look for when considering apps or extensions, if that matters for anyone else as well.
Otherwise, just having the option to download images from a page, which I suppose more specifically focuses on pages which don’t allow a long-press context window option; as I’d just do that if it was available.
I don’t really need bulk download options. For any such large datasets I’d use a desktop. But hopefully an extension available on mobile would save me from needing to screenshot a bunch of image text posts I can’t just download normally.
Isn’t shift right click an option to show context menu?
Well, some websites block that, but you can easily find the file with inspect element etc
Add-on might save time on that actually I hadn’t considered it lol

This one is open source and works for me: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/…/image-picka/ It’s a bit inconvenient though, as it will save to a tar archive by default. You can change that in settings.
