What it does

The browser is where links live.

So Lynx meets you there — and stays out of the way everywhere else.

Download · 1080p, right on the video

A small pill appears over the player on supported sites. One click sends it to Lynx; the ⋯ menu has every quality, audio only and Clip.

Big downloads, caught

Start a large file download and Lynx takes over — faster, resumable, and in your library. Want the browser to keep it? One click.

Cookies come along

Files behind a sign-in keep working, because Lynx asks with the same session you have in the browser.

Wakes Lynx up

Lynx doesn’t need to be open. The extension starts it quietly in the background when you click.

Pairs by itself

No codes, no sign-in, no approval dialogs. Add it and it’s connected.

Asks for little

It talks only to Lynx on your own computer. Nothing about your browsing is sent anywhere.

Download catching

Big files go to Lynx on their own.

When a large download starts, Lynx takes it: up to 16 connections, resume after a drop, and it lands in Files with everything else. If a link only works once, Lynx notices and leaves it with the browser.

Setup

Two minutes, once.
