en I hope this extension can be updated for the latest version of Chrome. I have absolutely no need to see the download history bubble every time I download a file, and that's an understatement.

en Unfortunately Version 1.2.0 is not working with Chrome Version 125.0.6422.142. Appears it may not be properly targeting the downloads page anymore. Still rating 5 stars because it worked flawlessly for so long. Another Chrome update that forces things we don't want and removes things we do want, such a shame.
