SNATCHR

Right-click → Save media here on any image or video, including ones hidden under transparent overlays or on sites that block right-click.

Install

1. Unzip this folder.
2. Go to chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top right).
3. Click Load unpacked and select the snatchr folder.

Use

• Toolbar icon — popup with the right-click unblock toggle and a one-click "Save all media on this page".
• Save media here — saves the image/video under your cursor. Sees through overlay divs, lazy-loaded images, srcset (grabs the highest resolution), <picture>, CSS background images, and canvases.
• Save all media on this page — bulk-downloads every image/video file found.
• Unblock right-click on sites — checkbox. When on, the site's own right-click / mouse-button blockers never run, so you get Chrome's normal menu back. Turn it off if it breaks a site that uses its own right-click menu (e.g. Google Docs).

Badge codes (on the extension icon)

• OK saved · NONE nothing found under cursor · ERR every download route failed · STRM it's a streamed video (see below)

Download strategy

1. Direct chrome.downloads.
2. If blocked (hotlink protection / 403), refetch from inside the page with the page's cookies and referrer.
3. If that's blocked by CORS, refetch from the extension background (host permissions bypass CORS).

What it will not do

• Streamed video (blob: MediaSource players — YouTube, Instagram/TikTok reels in most cases, Twitch). Those aren't files; they're hundreds of segments stitched together by the player. You need a stream downloader (e.g. yt-dlp) for those.
• DRM-protected video (Netflix, Disney+, Prime, etc.). Encrypted media can't be grabbed this way and this extension doesn't attempt it.
