## Description

The "Download with Download Accelerator Plus" Chrome extension seamlessly integrates your browser's download process with Download Accelerator Plus (DAP). By activating this extension, it overrides the default Chrome download manager to send download links directly to DAP, boosting download speeds and offering improved management. Users can enable the extension via the toolbar icon, which then installs an observer monitoring new downloads and delegating them to DAP while cancelling the native downloads.

Additionally, the extension provides a right-click context menu option allowing users to send links directly to DAP without activating the download observer. To function correctly, users need to have DAP installed and a small native client that facilitates communication between the extension and DAP. Detailed installation instructions for the native client are provided upon first use. This extension is ideal for anyone seeking to optimize their download experience with a powerful accelerator and enhanced control.
