2024-08-13 | John McCabe | en | Does appear to work, but is better to leave disabled except when you really need it, as it causes the names of files you _do_ want to download to be garbled. | |

2024-03-20 | 志豪张 | en | Very good and easy to use! by default the option is turned off, you need to turn it on and it will works well! | |
2024-03-04 | David Besen | en | Doesn't work at all as of 3/4/2024. I'm in Chrome version 121.0.6167.187 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 11. | |
2024-01-14 | Nicoleen Warren | en | This extension does not work when it comes to .doc files. Links in Google search results, that consist of a .doc file, are still getting downloaded to your PC. | |

2023-09-27 | Λ H S Ξ N | Functions exactly as described. Amazing how consistently this works on everything! One minor complaint: On sites where the download is initiated on the website and not with a redirect, downloads stop working so the extension has to be disabled. Not the fault of the extension though, it functions perfectly :D. Wish I'd found this 4 years ago. | ||
