LinkedIn without an extension
A browser page. Nothing installed, nothing granted.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
What an extension would be asking for
A LinkedIn downloader extension needs permission to read and change the data on the pages you visit. That is the permission it uses to find a video in a feed, and it is the same permission that reads your inbox, your bank and everything else, for as long as it stays installed.
Extensions also change hands. A useful one is sold, the new owner ships an update, and the access you granted the old owner now belongs to somebody you have never heard of.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be logged in?
No — and if a post requires it, this cannot read it either way.
