In it, there is a “Shellfox” submenu, whose items are “Run default command on link”, “Run ‘MPV’ on link”, and “Run ‘yt-dlp’ on link”. In the address bar there is a terminal icon.The Shellfox settings page. There are three sections: “Shell commands”, “URL/Page rules”, and “Download commands”.

About this extension
Shellfox is an extension that allows you to run shell commands at the click of a button.
You can register commands that can be executed on any page or link URL through context-menus or an address-bar button. Specific URLs can have default commands configured for them using regex, for convenience.



Like to play videos locally? You can use `mpv` to play your flicks.

Like to mirror websites? You can have `wget` handle your data-hoarding.

Like to download your YouTube videos? You can run `yt-dlp` for safe-keeping.




!IMPORTANT!
Unlike most extensions, Shellfox requires a native program be installed in order to work.

Shellfox should work on most *nix systems (BSD, macOS), but is only tested on GNU/Linux.
