What is Download Statusbar?
Download Statusbar is a Chrome extension that simplifies the process of managing and tracking downloads. When clicked on, the toolbar button shows a statusbar if there are active downloads. Downloads are displayed horizontally in the statusbar, each with a context-menu offering multiple options. The addon provides features to pause, cancel, clear, and manage downloads with ease. Also, users can personalize the statusbar appearance through various settings including background color and font size.

Not a bad start, very helpful for Vivaldi Browser. I do wish the height could be set to less than 45. The bar is just a little too tall.
