In chrome, even after added id for registering in XDM it's still unactive and cause registration request page every open the Chrome, and download manager still use chrome built-in downlaoder. Also in firefox, the extension looks doesn't do anything

I've found this, to some extent. It does work, just not well.

For example, in Vivaldi (a much better [IMO] chrome-based browser), it will start to use its internal downloader, and bring up the "Save", "Save As..." and "Open/Run" option window. If you select "Open/Run", it will then trigger the XDM download window to appear.

It will also correctly load XDM when you right-click a link, and select "Save link as...". It's not ideal, and also won't work on more intelligent download links (time-gated download sites, etc.).

It's not seamless, by any stretch of the imagination, but it does work with an extra button click or two, and I've found that with a combination of these two techniques, I can capture all downloads in XDM.

It does work for me using version 8.0.18-beta on fedora 37 with firefox 108.0.2 extension version is 1.3. @aarzoo8810 I do not think it will work with flatpak version of firefox. after all flatpak is intended to be an isolated platform.

It could work if Idm were to create a localhost server to share information with extension. @theuserwhoisnotadeveloper
