Checking Hydra…

Your browser now downloads
through Hydra.

Every download the browser starts is handed to Hydra's engine — split across connections, resumable, and carrying your session with it. Nothing else to set up.

What you get

Automatic capture

Click any download and Hydra takes it over — multi-connection, resumable, with your cookies carried along. Which file types are captured is set in Hydra → Options → File Types.

Hold Alt while clicking to let the browser keep one download.

Right-click & text selection

Right-click any link, image, or video → Download with Hydra. Or simply highlight links on a page — a floating Download with Hydra button appears. Several links at once open Hydra's batch download box.

Media sniffing

When a page plays direct video or audio files, a counter appears on the Hydra toolbar icon. Open the popup to grab any of them.

HLS & DASH streams

Segmented video shows up under Streams in the popup as one entry, not a thousand segments — with the quality, bitrate and estimated size the manifest declares. Pick a variant and Hydra fetches it. DRM-protected streams are listed as unsupported and are never touched.
