  Extension Name
  Internet File Downloader Helper
  
  Short Description (English short description limit: <=132 characters)
  Send browser downloads to Internet File Downloader, with optional Referer, User-Agent, and Cookie forwarding when needed.
  
  Detailed Description
  Internet File Downloader Helper connects your browser with the Internet File Downloader desktop app, so you can send download links to the desktop app and create download tasks more reliably.
  
  Why Install
  - More stable for large files: A dedicated desktop downloader is usually more reliable than browser-native downloads under unstable network conditions.
  - One-click send: Right-click a link (or media resource) and send it directly to Internet File Downloader.
  - Handles protected download flows: When a site validates browser identity, you can choose to include User-Agent, Referer, and Cookie in settings.
  
  Key Features
  - Manual send: Send link/media/page URL to the desktop app via context menu.
  - Optional automatic interception: When enabled, newly started browser downloads are redirected to the desktop app.
  - Privacy control: Referer and User-Agent are enabled by default; Cookie is disabled by default and sent only when you enable it.
  
  Prerequisite
  - You must install Internet File Downloader desktop app before this extension can work.
  
  Privacy Notice
  This extension sends download links (and optional headers you enable in settings) only to the Internet File Downloader desktop app on your computer, for download task creation.

  Privacy Practices (for Chrome Web Store "Privacy" tab)
  
  Single Purpose Statement (required)
  This extension has one purpose: forward browser download links to Internet File Downloader desktop app to create download tasks.
  
  Remote Code Statement (required)
  No remote code is used. The extension does not download or execute any remote code; all logic ships with the extension package.
  
  Host Permission Statement (required)

  Permission Justifications (required)
  - downloads: Detect browser download creation and cancel/take over when automatic interception is enabled, then forward to desktop app.
  - webRequest: Observe download-related network requests and improve final downloadable URL accuracy and stability.
  - cookies: Optional and user-controlled; used only when enabled for authenticated downloads.
  - contextMenus: Provide right-click entries to send link/media/page to desktop app.
  - storage: Store extension preferences (interception switch, header options, bridge port).
  - tabs: Read active tab URL for send-current-page and referer-related scenarios.
  
  Developer Program Policy Confirmation (required)
  We confirm this extension's data usage complies with Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies.
