en | It used to work so much better in 2021, but given that many of the websites that I've tried to use it on have since blocked the downloading of videos from their sites, this has basically become virtually useless. Until the author has updated this extension thoroughly, I'll be deleting it, as it is a waste of my time, especially since it generally just provides me with files that can't be opened once downloaded. |

Didn't work for me. You can achieve the same thing with Alt+click anyway. Well, not exactly the same, because Alt+click actually does work. | |

Does exactly what it says it does. Some users seem to not understand what it is, what it's for, or how it works, but if you do know what it does, what it's for, and how it works, it works correctly and does exactly what it's designed to do. If you have a link that you KNOW you want to download and expressly DO NOT want to be opened by Chrome in a browser tab, then you click this extension and enter that link there and it will download the file instead of opening or displaying it in Chrome. I suspect many users who give this extension poor reviews don't really understand what constitutes a "file" on the web, and so it doesn't do what they think it should. Bad reviews appear to be caused by misunderstanding the purpose of the extension and what it does and how it does it. | |
