Axiload Grabber privacy policy

For the Chrome and Firefox extension. Effective 17 October 2026.

In short: Axiload Grabber passes downloads only to the Axiload app on your own computer. It sends nothing to any server run by Axiload or anyone else, it has no analytics or tracking, and it never sells or shares your data.

What the extension does

Axiload Grabber connects your browser to Axiload, a free and open-source download manager that you install on the same computer. When you download a file, choose “Download with Axiload” from the right-click menu, pick links from a page, or pick a video from the video button, the extension hands that download to the Axiload app, which then downloads it.

What it reads, and when

The download itself: its address, the page it came from, and the file name, type and size the browser reports. Read when a download starts, or when you send something to Axiload yourself.
Cookies for that address: the cookies your browser already holds for the download’s address, so files behind a sign-in still download. Only cookies for that one address are read, and only when a download is handed over.
Your browser’s user agent and preferred languages, so the site answers Axiload the way it answers your browser.
Media addresses on the page you are viewing: the extension notices video and audio files and HLS or DASH playlists that a page loads, so it can offer them in its video button and toolbar menu. This list stays in the browser’s memory and is cleared when the tab navigates or closes.
Links on a page, only when you choose “Download all links” or “Download selected links”.

Where it goes

Everything above goes through the browser’s native messaging channel to the Axiload app running on the same computer, and nowhere else. Axiload uses it to download the file from the website you were already using, and keeps its own list of downloads on your computer, which you can clear in the app.

The extension makes no network requests of its own to any server. It contains no analytics, advertising, telemetry or remote code.

What it keeps

The extension stores only its own settings in the browser: whether download catching is on, whether the video button is shown, and the sites you switched catching off for. Media and link lists live in session memory and disappear when the browser closes.

Private windows

Downloads from private or incognito windows are never handed to Axiload. They stay with the browser.

Your control

Turn catching off, or off for one site, from the toolbar menu.
Hold Alt while clicking a link, or switch on “Skip the next download”, to keep a download in the browser.
Remove the extension at any time; its settings are removed with it.

Sharing

No data is sold, shared, or transferred to third parties, and none is used for any purpose other than downloading what you asked for.
