Close download bar Extension

Tired of closing the download bar after every download with the little close button in the right corner?
Because Google couldn't handle to add a simple little hotkey for that, I gave you this extension to close it with ALT+W.
You don't like the hotkey? Just change it ;)

(ID: 000000ea14963e5b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/14/2023 Thank you this addon saved me a thousand clicks. However due to recent updates to Chrome the download bar has been removed so this app finally became obsolete for me.

Alan Welsh (ID: 0000006f4ba4ac2a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/05/2023 Sometimes the bar autocloses

aan zaksa (ID: 000000996fe265fd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/12/2023 I like this extension but just now it didn't do anything when I pressed Alt+W. After changing the keyboard shortcut to no avail, I reinstalled the extension and somehow it works again.

akin kanva (ID: 000000aea685e0ca) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/18/2023 Thank you so much. Your extension is really helpful

Riccardo Imbrescia (ID: 00000055358e3d2f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2022 Does exactly what claims. Should be a default feature in Chrome
