BrowserDownloadsView by NirSoft is a lightweight forensic-utility designed to enumerate and audit every file that Chrome or Firefox has ever pulled down on a Windows machine. Parsing the native download databases of both browsers, the program surfaces a single sortable table containing filename, full download URL, referring page, start/end timestamps, elapsed duration, byte count, and the browser that performed the transfer. Investigators can point the scanner at the live user profile, at every profile on a multi-user system, at a remote workstation over the LAN, or at an offline disk image, making it equally useful for incident-response teams checking a compromised host, for parents verifying family-PC activity, or for technicians who need to rebuild a lost downloads list after a profile migration. Once the dataset is loaded, selections can be exported to CSV, TSV, HTML5, XML, or JSON for chain-of-custody documentation, or hashed on-the-fly with MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 to confirm file integrity. The utility ships as a single portable executable, requires no installation, and keeps its own memory footprint minimal so it can run from a USB stick on locked-down systems. Version 1.51, released as the only edition to date, runs on any Windows workstation from XP onward and supports both 32- and 64-bit environments. BrowserDownloadsView is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
