Review Summary
Users appreciate AutoHideDownloadsBar for automatically hiding Chrome's download bar, customization options, and lightweight design, which significantly improves browsing experience. However, multiple reviews note issues after the Chrome 112 update, including browser freezes, crashes, and the download bar reappearing after restarting Chrome. The extension's functionality is also affected by changes in Chrome's download UI placement, causing some usability problems.

- Allows customization including notifications and sounds when downloads complete.
- Simple and lightweight without unnecessary features.
- Works well for most users and is highly recommended among similar extensions.

Cons
- Extension becomes incompatible or causes browser freezing with recent Chrome/Chromium 112 update.
- Download bar reappears when reopening Chrome, reducing usability.
- Changes in Chrome's download UI placement affect user experience negatively.
- Some users report crashes when accessing downloads or extension settings after updates.
