Latest version
Version 3.0.0
Released May 14, 2026 - 1.14 MBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later[3.0.0] - 2026-05-14
AddedwebRequest+webRequestBlockingpermissions for pre-download interceptionwebRequest.onHeadersReceivedlistener: interceptsContent-Disposition: attachmentresponses before the body arrives, preventing one-time signed URLs (e.g. GitHub) from being consumed by the browser before aria2 can fetch them
Fixed- Small files (<1MB) from services like GitHub failing in aria2 — browser was finishing the download and consuming the signed URL before cancel could take effect
- POST-triggered downloads (e.g. OpenWrt LuCI mtdblock export) being cancelled and lost — now detected via
SKIP_URLSand left to the browser blob:/data:URL downloads being sent to aria2 (which can't access local protocols) — now skipped
Changed- Download-to-aria2 logic extracted into shared
addDownloadUrlToAria2()function used by bothwebRequestanddownloads.onCreatedpaths
