Auto Shutdown

Executes a system-level command to shut down, hibernate or standby your operating system when all downloads are finished
What is Auto Shutdown?
'Auto Shutdown' is a Chrome extension that takes control over your operating system after all downloads are finished. The extension executes system-level commands such as shutting down your computer, hibernating it, or executing a custom command like playing a song. A native messaging application installation is necessary for the extension to function. While there are active downloading jobs, the extension ensures the system stays awake, preventing it from hibernating.

Я делал все по инструкции, но расширение не работает. В итоге должно вылезти окно как последний пункт, но нет, нечего не происходит!

As a developer, I can understand how challenging it is to make an extension to work for all devices. So I'm giving it 5 stars no matter what, even if it's buggy, you will finally fix it. Thank you for such an idea.
