Hash Downloader

The extension will resolve content hashes to downloadable file sources across supported hash-based networks.

SHA-256, MD5, and CID-based lookups are planned for broad compatibility with content-addressable systems.

After downloading, it intends to recompute the file hash locally and compare it against the expected digest.

Mismatched hashes will be flagged with a warning so you are alerted to potentially tampered files.

A right-click context menu is designed to let you look up hash links directly from a webpage.

The paste-and-resolve mode will accept raw hash strings for retrieval without navigating to a page.

A progress panel is planned to show download speed, data transferred, and verification status in real time.

Duplicate detection will recognize previously downloaded hashes and offer to skip re-retrieval.

Provide a content hash by pasting a SHA-256, MD5, or IPFS CID into the extension panel or via right-click.

The extension will query supported networks to locate a downloadable source for the hash and display file details.

Download the file and a progress panel will track speed, data transferred, and estimated completion time.

After the download, the file hash is recomputed locally and compared to the expected digest to verify integrity.
