Rust · Win32 · Chrome extension
SSDownload
A native Windows 10/11 x64 download manager for files, video and audio: a Rust/Win32 desktop app with a Chrome extension.
What it does
It gathers file, video and audio downloads in one place. The desktop app manages yt-dlp, FFmpeg/ffprobe and Deno itself; the Chrome extension hands browser downloads to the app.
Media support installs itself on the first start of a profile that lacks it. A failed install never blocks startup; the notice points to Tools > Install media support.
Highlights
Cookies only by consent
Per-site session cookies are read only after the explicit per-site grant, and the grant covers only the granting tab's cookie store.
Local error reports
"Report a problem" writes a local report — hata.json, a bounded page dump and diagnostics — and nothing uploads; attaching it is the user's gesture.
Permanent error codes
Classified failures carry permanent SSD-<area>-<number> identifiers (e.g. SSD-MED-002) that are never renumbered or reused.
Signed updates
Updates fetch version.json over HTTPS verified against an embedded Ed25519 key; failed setups are moved to quarantine instead of being deleted.
