The inclusion of an extension engine in Opera 11 has opened new possibilities for developers and users of the web browser. Users can now make use of extensions to aid them in tasks and activities on the Internet.
Download Media Bar is an unobtrusive extension that can be used to download media from supported websites. A popular example are the video hosting websites Youtube and Gametrailers. The extension adds a very small overlay right below the playing video that contains options to download the video directly (in the case of Youtube) or to send it to the media downloading service Safefrom if downloads are not directly supported.
A small tooltip explains the functionality of each button. Buttons are only shown if the feature is supported. For Youtube all buttons are displayed (to download directly or to send the url to safefrom), for Gametrailers only the second button is displayed.
A click on the direct download button opens the save file window in the Opera browser to save the media to the local computer or open it directly in a compatible program.
Download Media Bar works with a lot of sites, especially since it is possible to send links to Sendfrom which supports dozens of media hosting sites.
Download Media Bar is only compatible with Opera 11 and available for direct installation at the Opera Extensions repository.
