Single Purpose Statement (required)

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.

- downloads: Detect browser download creation and cancel/take over when automatic interception is enabled, then forward to desktop app.
- 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).
