A web app that only works in non-Chromium browsers isn't useless.

I've downloaded stuff from MEGA in the last week on a Chromium based browser, so I'm not sure what the problem is supposed to be here.

I think johnklos meant it only works in Chrome and not in Firefox or Safari. You can download the whole archive as zip with Chrome - no problem. Firefox, on the other hand, doesn't allow you to store that much data locally in the browser, so it doesn't work out of the box. You can download the two top level directories separately though and this works even in Firefox.

Golly, it doesn't work in Chrome? What's the technical limitation here? Or did they just choose not to support it?

Asking because as someone who uses FF as their daily driver and is surprised something is supported in it that isn't in Chrome...

> firefox works

> it's useless

does not compute

Or if you have OpenSSL and curl...

(At least the last time I had to download from MEGA, I RE'd what it does and it was somewhat clever - AES128 in counter mode, key is in the hash part of the URL.)

I thought Mega didn't work in Safari, because it wouldn't have enough cache or whatever in-memory thing it does?

JDownloader 2 works fine and goes around their limitations to boot.

It's the other way around re ff/chrome
