Not all download managers provide information about changes that are going to be made on the computer; nevertheless, it is important to pay close attention to the license agreement or privacy statement in order to get acquainted with the program and its features.

The names of the extension may contain some unnecessary letters; for example, instead of SearchNeTab, you may find SeeArch–NewTaab, and other variations.
