Review Summary
Users find Download Manager Pro superior to Chrome's default manager regarding stability, speed, and simplicity. It offers a clean UI and integrates smoothly without interfering with built-in features. However, common complaints include lack of dark mode and file date display, inability to disable or hide native download notifications effectively, and absence of download progress indicators. Additionally, users dislike the mandatory download sound and poor localization support. Overall, it is a useful extension but requires improvements in customization and notification management to enhance user experience.
