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
rev
on the navbar on a tab with an image.If the page has more than 1 images, it tries to print a number on each one so you can specify which one you want to search... but that feature doesn't work very well. Removing that, the script would be much more simpler.

One-liner:
The 5 searches it launches are (replacing XXXX with the image URL):
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 found that they cover very different needs:
