Chrome Download Helper is a powerful extension designed to streamline your download management. It automatically organizes downloads into domain-named subdirectories within your main download folder, making it easier to locate files. You can enable a whitelist to restrict this auto-organization only to selected domains, giving you full control over your downloads.

Additionally, the extension provides convenient keyboard shortcuts to quickly open your last downloaded file (default Alt+L) or access the default download directory (default Alt+O). Customize these settings easily from the extension's menu to fit your workflow and enhance productivity.

I used the premium once, since then it keeps charging me monthly. I never agreed to that. How can I cancel it? Besides, when there are many videos on a website, its so hard to find the right ones.

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.

Chrome Download Helper requires very minimum permissions.
