XDown - The Efficient Internet Downloader Chrome Extension

XDown is a Chrome extension developed as a download tool for enhancing download speeds for an improved user experience. Users click on the download link through the browser, and XDown captures the file request information, including HTTP headers, request filenames, and file sizes. It communicates with the native application, taking over the download tasks.

曾经很好用，现在广告越来越多，还时不时大量CPU和内存占用，再也不能用下去了

打开浏览器就自动打开xdown，哪里能关闭？

非常感谢开发者在官网声明"免费无广告"的情况下添加了"一刀999"的牛皮癣广告, 我才知道了这个所谓的开源软件是直接抄的qBittorrent(https://www.qbittorrent.org/)的, 这下能回归初心了 :)
