Review Summary
Users appreciate the Download Manager extension for delivering a more convenient, customizable, and visually appealing way to manage downloads, with useful notifications and compatibility with various browsers. However, multiple users report performance issues including browser freezing, problems with the download count badge not updating, and the absence of convenient features like a bulk clear option and direct file opening from notifications. Additionally, saving settings can be unreliable, slightly diminishing the overall user experience despite the extension's strengths.

Cons
- Extension can cause browser freezes or performance issues, especially at startup or with many downloads.
- Lacks a clear and easy way to 'clear all' downloads from the list, requiring individual removal.
- The count badge showing number of downloads sometimes does not refresh or clear properly, causing confusion.
- Lacks some expected functionality like an 'open file' option directly from the notification or download list.
