User reviews

This extension would've been really useful had it built in the functionality to remember the last save directory. Instead, the save dialog box opens to the default save directory each time, and navigating to the proper save directory takes more time than simply removing additional, unwanted characters from a file extension. The most unfortunate part is, however, this functionality of opening the default download directory happens on any website you happen to download a file from, not just the sites that add additional characters to the extension.
