YusaDM Download Capture Chrome extension security report

YusaDM Download Capture is the optional browser companion for YusaDM, a Windows download manager. It watches the browser's own Downloads and hands a file to YusaDM only when you say yes. Ask first, every time (default). When you start a download, a small popup shows the file name, its size, and the page you were on, not the CDN host the file happens to live on, since malware rotates those. Click TAKE IT and YusaDM downloads it to the exact path the browser chose, erasing the browser's copy only once YusaDM confirms it has it. Click LEAVE IN BROWSER, press Escape, close the popup, or simply do nothing for 30 seconds, and the browser finishes the download exactly as if the extension were not installed. The browser's own malware check stays intact on that path. Tick "Always take downloads from this site" and that site stops asking. A site that gets ignored or declined three times in ten minutes earns a one-click Block button. A right-click always works. "Download with YusaDM" on any link hands it straight over in any capture mode, no popup, no waiting. Cookie-gated downloads still work at full speed. Some downloads (for example, a file behind a login) need the site's cookies to fetch correctly. When you approve a capture, the extension forwards the cookies, Referer, and User-Agent for that one download's own origin only, never to a mirror, a different host, or anywhere else. They are held only in memory, never written to disk, never logged, and used only to authenticate that single request. Nothing is ever silently lost. If YusaDM can't fetch a link itself (a one-time signed URL, or YusaDM isn't running), the browser finishes the download on its own and YusaDM catalogs the finished file in place, without ever refetching it. No account. No telemetry. The extension talks only to the YusaDM app on your own machine, never to any Yusaware server. Everything it needs to know lives in your browser's local extension storage. YusaDM itself is a resilience-first download manager: multi-mirror fail-over, segmented downloads, torrent + magnet support, and provenance tracking for everything it saves. Downloads that don't die when one mirror does. This extension is the optional bridge that lets your browser hand a download to it. The core app never requires the extension to work.
