• Does it auto capture download requests from the browser?
• Do I need to copy-paste the direct download link to it?
• Do I need to right click on links then select it?
• does it work flawlessly with Firefox?

Hmm seems really interesting, will take a look at it when I have time

DownThemAll

Tested it unfortunately requires an extra step (right clicking on links), I'm looking for something that will auto start whenever I left click on a link instead of the browser built in download manager

Tested it but settled on FDM in the end because of its simplicity, convenience and ease of use

THIS

I settled on it in the end but I installed the deb package instead from FDM website, the flatpak just refuses to install and I'm not willing to troubleshoot the issue

Tried it today and unfortunately it didn't pass the test

Thanks! I will keep this one in mind in case things don't work well with FDM

I don't really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don't gotta do that.

Here is what I mean, in testing JDownloader and other download managers I did a simple test, I open a website like let's say https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download-fdm-for-linux.htm and I left click on the download button if the download manager auto captures the download request and start downloading the file or prompt me to authorize the download then the download manager passes the test but if the browser built in download manager starts downloading instead then it is an instant failure; I put this extension to the test and unfortunately it failed.

wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.

It installed successfully but unfortunately it seems that it won't work with the linux version of Firefox so I uninstalled.

Hmm I don't recall using it ever before but I will give it a shot if things don't go well with FDM

Tested it but in the end I settled on FDM

Lol, I actually know about JDownloader2 but never used it but well I'm downloading it right now so let's see

Update: close but not enough, FDM is the winner for me

the font is probably in your repos as well

Unfortunately it's not:(
