Version 1.4.3
Released Jul 30, 2026 - 69.69 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later- The download pill no longer reports "Video unavailable" when the real
problem is that Cove is not running. It now says which side failed:
"Cove is not running" when the app cannot be reached, "No video found"
when no downloadable media was detected, and "Download failed" for
anything else. The old wording blamed the page for a perfectly playable
video whenever Cove happened to be closed. - Downloads are no longer lost when Cove sends a malformed or empty reply.
Handling that reply could throw and skip the browser fallback, so a
download sent from the context menu could end up neither in Cove nor in
the browser. The browser now always keeps the download unless Cove has
positively accepted it.

Version 1.4.2

Released Jul 4, 2026 - 62.46 KBWorks with firefox 91.0 and laterNew in 1.3.0: in-page video download pill.- Hover any HTML5 video and a floating "Download with Cove" button appears in the top-right corner of the player. One click sends the video to the Cove
desktop app with the page's cookies and referrer. - Supports direct MP4/WebM video sources, plus HLS (M3U8) streams the extension has detected for the tab (useful for players that use blob/MSE sources).

DRM-protected media.
