A less intrusive way to access your recent downloads

Download Manager: Access & Manage Downloads from Your Chrome Toolbar

"Download Manager" is a Chrome extension developed to offer an easy and unobtrusive way to access and manage your downloads. This extension replaces the traditional chrome downloads bar with a toolbar icon for quick access. Users enjoy the ability to view, search, pause, resume, clear, and delete recent downloads. Additional features include opening downloaded files in the default application or browser, revealing the file location, and receiving notifications upon download completion.

User reviews

Freezes chrome on start-up if you have many downloads. It also freezes chrome sometimes while the browser is running.

Justamente o que eu precisava (uso o Vivaldi).

Please Consider 2 points 1. Add a shortcut key to open the sidebar 2. Add a button to clear all Finished downloads
