Purffle / PurffleGrab / Browser extension

Save from your browser in one click.

The PurffleGrab extension adds a Save button to YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud and sends the page straight to the app on your computer.

What it does

  • A Save button next to Like and Share on YouTube, and on Spotify and SoundCloud track, album and playlist pages.
  • Right-click any link and choose Save link with PurffleGrab.
  • Click the toolbar button to send the page you're on.

The link opens in the PurffleGrab app, found and ready to download. The extension needs the app installed — get it here — and it sends links only to the app on your computer, never to us. Extension privacy.

Chrome

Chrome Web Store: coming soon.

Until then you can load it yourself:

Turn on Developer mode

Open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode at the top right.

Load unpacked

Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder. Pin PurffleGrab from the puzzle-piece menu so its button stays in view.

Microsoft Edge

Edge Add-ons: coming soon.

Edge uses the same package as Chrome: unzip the Chrome zip, open edge://extensions, turn on Developer mode on the left, then click Load unpacked and choose the folder.

Firefox

Firefox Add-ons: coming soon.

Firefox only keeps extensions from its store after a restart. To try it before then, download purfflegrab-extension-firefox-14.0.0.zip, open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click Load Temporary Add-on… and choose the zip. It stays until you close Firefox.

Questions

Clicking Save does nothing

Your browser asks once whether to open PurffleGrab — choose Open (and tick Always allow if offered). If PurffleGrab isn't installed, the extension shows where to get it.

Which sites does it work on?

The Save button appears on YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify and SoundCloud. The right-click menu and toolbar button work anywhere, and PurffleGrab tells you if a link isn't supported.

Does it cost anything?

No. The extension is free; downloads count toward the app's plan as usual.
