Firelink Companion connects your browser to the desktop app so links and browser downloads can open in Firelink instead of disappearing into the browser's default download shelf.
The Chrome extension is currently distributed as a manual Chromium package while Chrome Web Store publication is pending. Follow the [manual Chrome/Chromium installation instructions](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension#manual-chromium-installation) and download `firelink-chromium.zip` from the [Firelink-Extension releases](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension/releases).
What it adds:
- **Automatic capture** for ordinary browser downloads, while still routing every captured link through Firelink's Add window.
- **Firefox and Chromium support** for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, and other compatible desktop Chromium browsers.
- **Context-menu actions** for "Download with Firelink" and selected links.
- **Signed local requests** using the pairing token from **Settings -> Integrations**.
- **Server identity checks** so the extension only trusts the real local Firelink app.
- **Offline-safe behavior** that resumes browser downloads when Firelink is closed or rejects a handoff.
- **Protocol-aware compatibility** so older desktop builds are rejected before automatic capture can cancel a browser download.
Install the extension, open Firelink, then pair it from **Settings -> Integrations**. The Firefox add-on is maintained in the [Firelink-Extension](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension) repository and is also vendored here as the `Extensions/Firefox` submodule.
Install the extension, open Firelink, then pair it from **Settings -> Integrations**. Firefox users can install from Mozilla Add-ons. Chrome and Chromium users can use the [manual load-unpacked flow](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension#manual-chromium-installation). The extension is maintained in the [Firelink-Extension](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension) repository and is also vendored here as the `Extensions/Firefox` submodule.
