Linkpull Extension By Endurtech

LinkPull Extension, Grab Any File From a URL

, , , , , , , , ,

I built LinkPull because downloading a file shouldn’t require multiple steps, three tabs, and a prayer that the “Download” button isn’t actually an Ad. If you’ve ever right-clicked a link, chosen “Save As,” and watched your browser fail to save the file with the right extension — or worse, opened a new tab just to paste a URL into some sketchy downloader site — LinkPull is for you.

It’s a small, fast Brave / Chrome browser extension with one job: take a direct file link and pull it down to your computer. That’s it. No accounts, no Ads or upsells, no bloat, and the code is publicly published on GitHub for review. Like this free extension? Buy me a cup of coffee.

No doubt, those using screen readers will be more interested in “what” the link’s alt property contains rather than “how” an icon specifying an external link looks.

For those interested in adding a quick and simple external link icon to all their external links, here is a CSS property for your consideration. This CSS property rule will apply to all links with a target equal to “_blank“.

If you (via an app) or your website (via a plugin) are not using the xmlrpc functionality then it may be wise to disable access to xmlrpc.php

There are several free and premium plugins to choose from on the official WordPress repository. Remember, disabling access to the xmlrpc file may break API functionality that your applications or plugins rely upon.

Later in this article will show you how to disable access to the xmlrpc without using any WordPress plugins.
