Thanks!
Links for convenience:
I will definitivaly use the last 2 ones. I don't usually need to mass download images, but it's good to know the Bazzacuda one exists!
One question... do you know if it works with videos?
I don't see anything on the addon page, but it seems weird because the use case is very similar.
I think I don't undestand it properly.
What I meant is: if I have some tabs with one video URL* in each of them, it seems trivial to just automate a "click download" for each one of them.
* I mean plain MP4 normal URLs with no tricks, like imgur MP4 URLS:
I think there is some misunderstanding... there are a lot of ways of downloading a list of URLs. For videos I use yt-dlp.
I didn't know about IDM/IDX, I asume they are Internet Download Manager and Xtreme Download Manager, right? From what I see those are independent programs and not Firefox add-ons (correct me if I'm wrong).
What I find weird is that, what Bazzacuda can achieve if I have multiple tabs with
i.imgur.com/.../...jpg
URLs does not work if I change thejpg
extensions withmp4
. But I'm probably missing something (or not explaining myself properly).Thanks!
Got it, thanks for the patience :)
Regarding reverse image search, this is the bookmarklet I use to lauch 5 different searches at once. On firefox you can set a keyword so I just type

I don't know how I missed that until now, thanks!! I will try it right now.
Yeah, that's what I was using for a while and what motivated me to write the bookmarklet to avoid going through it every time.
Regarding the different searches, I foudn that they cover very different needs:
