CivitAI Browser Neo | Forge Neo Extension

Browse, download and manage your models without leaving your WebUI — built for Forge Neo

Features 🚀

Browse & Search 🔍

Download 📥

Download any model, version, and file in one click
Aria2 high-speed multi-connection downloads — maximize your bandwidth
Download queue — multiple downloads run in sequence without blocking the UI

SHA256 integrity check — every download is verified against CivitAI's hash; corrupted files are caught and removed automatically

Description

v0.9.0 — Major Update: CivitAI Domain Support, Update Mode Isolation & Download Resilience

Full support for the new CivitAI domain split — CivitAI now separates SFW content (civitai.com) from the complete catalog (civitai.red). The extension adapts automatically so nothing breaks. Paste any CivitAI link from either domain and it opens instantly.
New "SFW only" setting — a simple checkbox in Settings lets you restrict all links and API calls to civitai.com if you prefer. Off by default, so the full catalog stays accessible without extra steps.
Update Mode filter isolation — Browser-tab filters are ignored when Update Mode is active, preventing "No updates match the current filters" false negatives. pressRefresh() and page-slider triggers no longer pull Browser filters into the Update Mode view.
SHA256 silent-update detection — if a downloaded file fails hash verification, the extension re-queries the CivitAI API for the version's current SHA256. If the author updated the file silently, the new hash is accepted and metadata is updated instead of failing.
Defensive ambiguity handling — searching by SHA256 that returns multiple candidates no longer crashes with KeyError; the code safely falls back to an error message.
Exact search restricted to Model name — CivitAI API does not support quoted search for Tag or User name. Exact search now only wraps terms in quotes when "Model name" is selected.
Batch download resilience — internal loop eliminates gaps between queued items, timeout increased to 30s with automatic retry (up to 3×), SHA256 buffer increased to 8MB.
Update list sorted by mtime — outdated models are now listed with most recently modified first, making it easier to prioritize updates.
