User reviews

Turbo Download Manager (Classic) is praised by long-term users for fast and effective downloading, especially for large files and PDFs, mimicking IDM's functionality. However, multiple users report it stops working after initial use, struggles to start downloads, or exhibits bugs like file corruption or format errors. The user interface can be confusing with missing icons, and it consumes significant cache storage without flexible options. Some users also have difficulty uninstalling the extension. These recurring issues suggest reliability and usability problems despite its potential strengths.

Pros

Works well for downloading PDFs and other common file types.
Provides a download method similar to IDM, which some users find useful.
Simple and effective for initial use before issues arise.

Cons

Stops working after some time or after initial use, failing to add or start downloads.
User interface issues: extension icon or toolbar button not visible or hard to find, making it tricky to use.
Buggy behavior like converting files into incorrect formats or downloading corrupted files.
Consumes large amounts of Chrome cache storage without options to change cache location, risking SSD wear.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Turbo Download Manager (Classic) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
