Review Summary
No More Duplicates is praised for notifying users about duplicate downloads and helping save storage by preventing redundant files. However, many users report that it sometimes only pauses downloads instead of blocking duplicates, fails to detect files moved or deleted post-download, and does not work reliably across browser sessions. Additional user requests include automatic opening of original files and better handling of downloads initiated automatically. Despite occasional functionality issues and minor conflicts with other extensions, it remains a useful tool for managing duplicate downloads.
Pros
- Effectively notifies users when a duplicate file is being downloaded.
- Saves time and storage by preventing unnecessary duplicate downloads.
- Provides options like opening existing files, canceling, or proceeding with downloads.
- Simple to use and integrates well with Chrome downloads.
- Helps users avoid downloading the same PDF or file multiple times.
Cons
- Does not always stop duplicate files from downloading; sometimes only pauses them or lets duplicates download anyway.
- Fails to recognize moved or deleted files in the downloads folder, leading to inaccurate duplicate detection.
- Does not work well between sessions or after browser restarts; sometimes stops working entirely.
- Cannot automatically open original files without user interaction, causing additional prompts to open duplicates.
- Has conflicts with other extensions or features, reducing effectiveness or causing errors.
