| 2024-12-28 |  | | en | It doesn't appear and the auto-resume option doesn't work. |
| 2024-12-17 |  | | en | Google showed how much they don't care about their users when they did away with the download bar. Thank you for bringing it back! (PS, works on Brave Browser, ditch Chrome!) |

| 2024-09-10 |  | | en | Thank you, is working |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | en | When Update ? |
| 2024-09-04 |  | | en | The download bar is way too cluttered |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | en | It is alright I guess. One big problem is that I can't change its height. It is currently to big which is a dealbreaker. |
| 2024-08-21 |  | | ja | 以前のChromeのようにステータスが表示されことは便利だが以下が不便である。 ・反応が遅い。ダウンロードが終わったものを消しても反応しないことがある。 ・ダウンロード一覧のタブで消しても反応されない。 →リフレッシュボタンが欲しい。 |
| 2024-08-18 |  | | en | First off, the problem that some people reported about this extension making the browser irresponsive has not been fixed at all. I had to manually delete it just to be able to open Chrome again. After deleting, then clearing the downloads, then reinstalling the extension, I found out that the bar doesn't even show on every tab like the old one, for some reason it only shows up on seemingly random tabs. |
| 2024-08-03 |  | | en | Great simple extension. When I download images and videos I can easily immediately drag and drop them into where I want them to be to work with files. Thank you! Edit: Giving 4 stars just because I would love for there to be an update that shows a preview of the image in th extension after you download it. I work with a lot of images, and it would really help speed up my work while avoiding mistakes if the icon next to the downloaded images weren't all the same icon. |
