User reviews

really not the same as the original chrome functionality. Only works on 1 tab and for some reasons shows my completed/deleted downloads? I just want my current downloads visible at all times without opening a menu.

прежние версии были куда как лучше. эта версия очень неудобна! хорошо, что хоть "не отваливается". раньше была возможность очистить содержимое от уже скаченных одной кнопкой для всех ("claer all"), сейчас - нет, надо для каждого файла нужные пункты выбирать. несмотря на то, что в настройках стоит галочка -"очищать открытые/скачанные файлы" этого все равно не происходит.
