Martin Stengård (ID: 000000c3673bbdbe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/15/2024 Great, just missing direct link to open Downloads folder. Also manual switch between light/dark would be great.

Igor Kozarchuk (ID: 00000053b5265d19) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/11/2024 Nice. Should be an option to disable animation (floating download button) when a download starts. Also download shelf briefly appears when a first download starts. When you start Chrome, extension shows default blue gradient icon. Text color of "Show all" and "Clear all" buttons should be #91B4F7 - it would match Chrome's default accent color.

Vlad Gerasimov (ID: 0000007b07ec5ddd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 This is what downloads should have been in Chrome.

Travis Du Bry (ID: 00000021a3e3b4f1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2023 I really dig this extension and its functionality; if you liked the download process in Safari, this replicates it nicely. Never liked that bottom download tray in Chrome. Lately, though, a download window is appearing and requiring clicking on download to get the file to download. The download used to just happen automatically; what changed? Is this a setting that be reverted to its original function?
