Dreamspace President (ID: 000000d6c9bfdac5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 1* to make potential users move on to their next such search result. Reason: With Chrome v116.0.5845.180 the complete suppression of the download tray popup does not work. I saved an image - and that one image was then shown as the download popup menu. Saved another one - now I had a two image download popup menu. Most importantly, the key problem (KEYBOARD FOCUS) is not solved: The keyboard is now stuck in that stupid Chrome popup. A POTENTIAL SOLUTION (no extension needed): chrome://flags/#download-bubble The "download bubble" developer flag allows you to return to the old style, where there's a bar at the bottom with all your recent downloads. At least it doesn't steal the keyboard focus.

TTmrk (ID: 000000a6a66fdf42) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/22/2019 This does not do as it says. The shortcut key only closes the download shelf/bar, but as soon as a new download is finished, the download shelf pops back up. In so this app does not disable but only hides the download shelf. 1 star rated because i couldn't rate it a 0...

Vraja D (ID: 0000009b8ff92b6b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/11/2018 This and the other by Novikov are both adware, I get tons of ads on Facebook with either one, with an adblocker, they don't have to be activated either for these two extensions to deliver ads. I'm talking like tons of ads. Plus they only work sporadically at disabling the download bar. Stay away.
