​
Operating system support

SaveMate works on all desktop operating systems:
  • macOS — 10.15 (Catalina) and later
  • Windows — Windows 10 and later
  • Linux — Any distribution that runs a supported browser

​
Mobile support

​
Minimum browser versions

SaveMate requires Manifest V3 support:
  • Chrome 88+
  • Edge 88+

If you’re running an older browser version, update to the latest version for full compatibility.

​
Language support

SaveMate is available in the following languages:
  • English
  • French (Français)
  • Arabic (العربية)
The extension automatically uses your browser’s language setting.

​
Extension permissions

SaveMate requests the following permissions during installation:
SaveMate uses the declarativeNetRequest API for downloads and webRequest for stream detection. All processing is local — no browsing data is sent anywhere.

​
Why Chromium only?

SaveMate uses Manifest V3 Chromium extension APIs including:
  • webRequest — Real-time network monitoring for stream detection
  • declarativeNetRequest — Dynamic download rules for file saving
  • storage.sync — Settings synchronization across devices
  • Background service worker — Efficient background processing
These APIs provide the best performance and reliability for real-time video stream detection. Firefox support using the WebExtension API is in development.
