Description
Send a link to Yoslion Download from the context menu. Yoslion Download is the browser companion for the Yoslion Download desktop application. It does not download anything itself: it hands the download to the application, which does the work. **The desktop application is required.** Without Yoslion Download installed and able to run on the same computer, this extension has nothing to hand a download to and will tell you so. **It takes over the downloads you start, and this begins switched on.** When you start a download in the browser, Yoslion Download takes it over and passes it to the desktop application instead — so the file is fetched once, by the download manager, not twice. On a new installation this is **on**. You can switch it off in the toolbar popup, in one click, and your choice is remembered: nothing turns it back on, and an update never changes it. **Right-click a link → Download with Yoslion.** The other way to use it, and it works whether the takeover above is on or off. The menu item appears on links only. **A keyboard shortcut, if you want one.** Turning the takeover on and off is also a command in your browser's extension shortcuts page. No key is assigned when you install this, and none is assigned for you: you choose one there, or you never do. The popup tells you which key is bound, or that none is. **Sites and file types to skip.** You can tell the takeover to leave a site, or a kind of file, to the browser. A site covers its subdomains, and a type can be one exact kind or a whole family. Both lists start empty, so nothing changes until you add something, and right-click → Download with Yoslion still works on anything you have skipped. **How it reaches the application.** Over your operating system's native messaging channel: a local connection between two programs on your own machine. The web address is passed that way and no further. The extension contacts no server of its own, contains no analytics and no advertising, and does not read your browsing history. In Chrome, on the platforms where the application it needs is published: **Windows, Linux and macOS**. Yoslion Download is published by Palacios Software Group LLC.
