Summary
This addon won't be maintained further. I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab will also remain available to fork. I do have a greasyfork account and may publish works there in the future. I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.
Available for Chrome too.

<acronym title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</acronym>
- How does it work on thumbnail galleries? This addon downloads the image you directly interact with, i.e. the thumbnail. This is an unfortunately but deliberately omitted feature. Most browsers download link targets when alt-clicking on links, and most thumbnail galleries link each thumbnail to its full size source. Therefore, you do not actually need an addon to download most thumbnail galliers. For more complex galleries, addons dedicated to this purpose exist. You could also install Copy Selected Links and use a download manager.
