J.T. Brown III (ID: 000000f70e38006d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2023 Excellent! Works really well with the new Chrome downloads toolbar 'Icon' that has now replaced the bottom tray. One of the super-nice selectable features is that it will auto-clear downloads that have been moved or deleted, which totally (and automatically) unclutters the downloads list/page - and it also let's you customize the auto-clear timeframe for recent/older downloads! So happy to have found this extension. Thank you, Kevin! ❤ (please continue to maintain this great extension when needed!)
