en One suggestion...the only useful thing in the download bar was a quick link to the download folder. Adding an 'Open Download Folder' option to your icon in the menu Extensions list would be very handy. Don't like the download bar but still need to quickly access the download folder. Otherwise, thanks...great Extension...have used it for ages..

Practical but has some issues. 1st, when you click its icon it should have its own menu with an On/Off switch since some people just don't need it on all the time. 2nd, for some reason it clears all downloads from the downloads page! This should be optional with another On/Off switch. 3rd, I would suggest that it also includes an optional "Download Complete" PopUp at the bottom of the Chrome window.

2017-12-29 Carlos Tabachnik Z. works fine ... It really clears the download list right after completion of the download , and also closes the download bar right away ... The only bad think is that sometimes the extension gets corrupted for no reason and stops working...Then a repair was required.
