Review Summary
Pros
- Restores the classic download status bar that Chrome removed, making it more familiar and easier to use than the new default download bubble.
- Works better than some alternatives, such as the Download Bubble, with users appreciating the stability and functionality improvements.
- Open source status invites community contribution and improvements.
- Provides a visual download bar at the bottom, useful for keeping track of downloads without opening menus.
- Users generally appreciate having the download bar back after Google's removal of the feature.
Cons
- Lacks a convenient 'clear all' button to remove all completed or cleared downloads at once, forcing users to delete entries individually.
- High resource usage reported by some users, including excessive CPU and memory consumption, particularly due to scanning the entire downloads folder.
- Does not automatically clear or hide completed downloads despite user preferences, leading to clutter and user frustration.
- Visual design is not as polished or consistent as Chrome's original download bar; some users find it unattractive or less usable.
- Functionality issues such as download entries showing as 'Unknown', lack of drag-and-drop support, and needing to manually grant permission for opening downloaded files repeatedly.
