HLS Downloader - Download Fragmented Media Files Easily

HLS Downloader is an Edge extension designed to streamline the downloading of fragmented media files. Utilizing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), a format developed by Apple Inc., it allows users to download .ts files through either manual URL entry, automatic detection during browsing, or via context menu. It merges all fragmented media into a single file for easy access and use. Note that this tool is not responsible for the media content downloaded, thus copyright permissions should be checked before use.

Mostly broken. Only downloads the first part of chunked videos, and gives the first part a wrong file extension.
