v1.16.5

Significant improvements for Telegram downloads:

• Download speed is increased for both versions (K and A).
• Now you can preserve partially downloaded files in almost all cases.
• Massively extended available media metadata (codecs, duration, quality, preview images).
• Download progress messages are now throttled at 500 ms.
• Both versions perform more reliably overall.
• Fixed cases where it was not possible to download same media multiple times.

v1.15.3

• Now you can download from gimytv.ai and its mirrors, including media served through ruyijx.com CDN.
• Added support to download from tldv.io.
• Fixed HLS variant remapping after probing when switching between media output containers.

v1.14.2

Big UI/i18n update: Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew are here, with proper RTL support instead of half-broken mirrored layouts.

• Added Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew languages.
• Added full RTL mode for the popup and settings UI. MAX now switches LTR / RTL without ugly layout hacks.
• Redesigned custom progress labels with new templates, syntax and default values. If you use Custom progress display, reset your fields once.
• Progress labels now support [[literal]] values, deterministic joining with • , and proper RTL auto-reversal.
• Track labels are now rebuilt when items are recreated, so labels stay correct when switching between languages.
• Added early text direction bootstrapping for faster first render in the popup.
• Updated the custom progress label tooltip to explain RTL auto-reversal.

v1.13.1

Media probing and site-support update: better item correction after analysis, cleaner LIVE/VOD handling, and a nasty custom decryption flow for av19.biz.

• Now you can download from av19.biz and its aliases. Solution required to invent a new approach, so please report if you'll see any issues. I'm yet to find at least 1 downloader, doing the same 😉
• MAX can now change media buckets after probing. E.g., wrongly labeled .srt subtitles can move back to regular videos after probing, if it was an obfuscated media segment.
• Added support for transition from VOD to LIVE. Real websites are wild, lol.
• Subtitles now stay VOD reagardless of parsed duration, to avoid setting LIVE flag on them.
• Quality detection now rounds up to the closest bucket. 1072p will be shown as 1080p.
• Fixed premature download termination on coomer.st.

v1.12.1

Big site-support release: MAX now downloads from abyss.to CDN and hundreds of websites using it.

• Added support for abyss.to CDN. This is a huge one: MAX is the first browser extension I know that can handle it properly. It opens downloads from hundreds of websites, including watchfreejavonline.co, recurbate.cam, bestcam.tv, asmroger.to, kisscartoon.sh – just to name a few. While no one can detect videos there, MAX provides you quality selection and frictionless downloads – for free 💪
• Updated bundled FFmpeg with more codecs. This fixes occasional undefined streams during processing and improves handling of weird media layouts.
• Added a check-for-updates button in Settings. You can now manually check for extension updates right next to the app title.
• Improved layout initialization. The popup now initializes layout earlier to reduce visible layout shift on open.

v1.10.0

Critical update for WASM, HLS, Chrome 109 and a couple of websites.

• Fixed FFmpeg's wrong codec identification, which allowed MAX to download from websites like avlge.com.
• Bundled a new FFmpeg build with 3 core HLS fixes. It's already available in CoApp v1.8.0.
• Finally found and fixed the root cause of WASM downloads failing on Chrome 109 🤙
• Fixed repeated downloads of the same media failing during the same session, mostly with HLS.
• Increased the max download concurrency setting from 10 to 20. Browser mode still handles only 6 simultaneous connections to the same domain under HTTP/1.1, so if you need more same-site concurrency — try CoApp.
• Added a UI warning when concurrency is set above 6.
• Now you can download from av01.media.
• Updated skool.com processing patterns for the current HLS-only flow.

v1.8.5

Small hotfix for WASM downloads, legacy machines, and the new Behavior settings section.

• Fixed some HTTP 403 cases in WASM. In some cases, servers did not tolerate WASM originated requests without range headers, this behavior now matches native FFmpeg for simplicity.
• Fixed ranged headers in WASM. This also opened downloads from websites like astalavr.com.
• Added Behavior settings. You can now control if MAX appears in the page right-click menu. Extension icon menu stays available.
• Fixed Telegram downloads on Windows 7 / Chrome 109. Telegram now bypasses generic download engines again.
• Fixed directory crash on Windows 7 / Chrome 109. Some APIs didn't exist or had different handling, this update enforces support in a few known places, but it still might crash. If you use Chrome 109, please report every crash.
• Updated YouTube footer. Report button is hidden there because YouTube support is not allowed by the Chrome Web Store rules.

v1.7.7

Hotfixes after the big 1.6.7 release. This one focuses on detection gaps, partial downloads, and a few edge cases reported after the new WASM/browser engine shipped.

• Detection filters redesigned for hidden media patterns. MAX now probes more known “buried” media patterns, which opened detection on websites like javtiful.com.
• Improved direct media size estimation. Initial file size calculation is now more reliable for direct video and audio files.
• Better reconnection after premature EOF. MAX now handles early connection drops more aggressively, fixing partial downloads on websites like javquick.com, javtiful.com, pornavhd.com, and sexbjcam.com.
• Fixed Telegram worker startup on Windows 7 / Chrome 109. Telegram downloads should no longer fail because the worker could not spawn on legacy Chrome.
• Fixed a rare identical-media UI race. When the same media was found on different tabs almost at the same time, mid-processing updates could be applied to the wrong visible item. I did not test this case deeply, so please report if you see content display issues, fixed by reopening popup.

v1.6.7 – first major release 🎉

This release took me 40+ days to build. It changes the core download architecture of MAX, so rough edges are possible. If something breaks, please report it instead of leaving a bad review — I can only fix real issues when I have real reports.

The main change: MAX now works without CoApp by default. The new WASM engine runs directly inside Chrome, so most users can detect, process, and download video without installing the desktop app first.

• New in-browser WASM download engine. Completely new processing architecture based on WebAssembly. It uses the same browser network session as the page, so downloads can follow your browser DNS, VPN, proxy, cookies, and fingerprint much better than a separate desktop process.
  • No CoApp required by default
  • Works inside Chrome, including Chromebook and Android Chrome-like environments
  • Same media coverage as CoApp for normal supported flows
  • Better access to videos that already play in your browser
• CoApp is still available. Switch back to CoApp in Settings when you need custom download folders, native FFmpeg, faster raw processing, stronger long-job stability, or “Save as” before the download starts.
• Important WASM limits. Browser downloads are not magic: WASM uses the browser default downloads folder, “Save as” appears after processing (for now), HTTP/1.1 usually allows around 6 parallel requests per domain, and processing is about 20–30% slower than CoApp. Download speed is roughly the same or higher in WASM.
• New websites supported:
  • Download from kinescope.io, including ClearKey, SAMPLE-AES, and regular media
  • Download from cgw666.com and its mirror domains
  • Download from reelxia.com
  • Download from rou.video type-players
  • Download from kartoons.me
  • Download from twinkaboo.com
  • Record streams from Chaturbate, cams.nudelive.com, and related mirror websites

  Known issue: some Chaturbate-like streams may have audio desync on specific machines. If you hit it, report it once with details. I need real reports before engineering a solution.

• Media analysis rebuilt for speed. Preview generation and probe checks were redesigned to be cheaper and faster in both WASM and CoApp modes, without throwing away accuracy.
• Better download history actions. Open file, open folder, and remove file now work across both Browser/WASM and CoApp downloads.
• Quick rename before download. Click the detected media title, edit it, then press Enter or click away to save. Esc cancels the edit.
• New detection controls. You can stop detection everywhere without disabling the extension or killing active downloads. Pause, unpause, stop, and resume detection are also available from the extension icon menu and page right-click menu.
• New Extensive Detection mode. It scans deeper and finds more hidden media, but also catches more junk. It is off by default for a reason — enable it only when regular detection is not enough.
• Smart Naming got filename transformations. You can now uppercase or lowercase final filenames, apply text replacements, or use regex substitutions before the name is applied. Up to 3 substitutions are supported per rule.
• Settings and help cleaned up. Added “always ask download location”, a collapsible self-help guide in the Videos tab, and clearer rate-limit messages for websites that block or delay media requests.
• UI refreshed in many places. Light and dark themes are more consistent, Smart Naming supports light theme, selected quality is easier to read, and rendering is faster for theme changes, popup width, UI state, and history updates.
• Fixes and internal cleanup. Better container and language guessing, fixed SRT/VTT output edge cases, added 540p quality selection, exact hostname matching for paused domains, more consistent progress metrics, smaller stored payloads, fewer runtime errors, and many updated translations.

This version is still under Chrome Web Store review. I expect some rough edges because WASM changes the core architecture. Report real issues and I will work through them.

Thank you for 1900+ reports during this period, lol.

P.S. They guy who reports bdsmlovers website 5 times a day – can you please stop? This website HAS NO VIDEOS, It's just pictures!
