Review Summary
Users generally appreciate Downloads Pro for improving Chrome's download experience with a simple, dark-mode-enabled interface that shows download progress and allows easy management. However, multiple reports note the extension broke after recent updates, failing to open the download dropdown. Other common issues include limited download history display, missing file dates, lack of manual theme switching, and unwanted animation effects. Despite drawbacks, many consider it the best download extension and wish its features were default in Chrome.
Pros
- Provides a better download management experience compared to Chrome's default, avoiding the bottom download bar.
- Simple, clean, and minimalistic design that is easy on the eyes and effective.
- Includes a dark mode feature, appreciated by users.
- Allows easy access and management of downloads, including clearing download history and retrying/canceling downloads with one click.
- Indicates download progress within the extension interface, improving usability.
Cons
- Extension stopped working after recent updates; clicking the icon no longer opens the download list.
- Only shows last 10 downloads, and the 'Show more' link opens the downloads tab instead of extending the list within the extension.
- Does not show file date for completed downloads.
- Lacks manual toggle for light/dark mode; dark mode activation can be buggy.
- No option to disable animation effects during download start, and download shelf briefly appears on new downloads.
