Nice Downloads!

A lightweight & efficient extension of Chrome’s Download Manager.

Nice Downloads! - Efficient Chrome Download Manager Extension

Nice Downloads! is an elegantly designed Chrome extension that enhances your downloading experience. It smartly manages your downloads by auto-displaying and hiding Chrome's download shelf when initiating and completing downloads, and offers handy alerts. Further, it incorporates a unique toolbar button providing instant access to the downloads screen while updating you about active downloads with color changes of the icon. If a download disrupts, the shelf stays open for your attention. What's more, it doesn't contain a persistent background process and has minimal permissions for unobtrusive operation.
