ศุภวิชญ์ เทียนจารุวัฒนา 2024-09-01: As of September 1st 2024, This is one of the best QoL extension for google chrome I ever met
dma8510 2024-02-26: Finally someone using their brain and making this extension to correct the massive design flaw of the updated, nearly useless google rainbow shapes pictograph interface. Yes, one can go into chrome/flags and disable the bar, but after a new annoying useless chrome update, it is back. This actually works, finally!

Peter Buick 2023-09-06: How can Google be SO stupid and obviously not use their own product? After 2 downloads the official downloads complete bar BLOCKS the GUI. Immensely stupid IMHO! Why do we need an extension to fix an obvious design mega flaw. Fortunately this extension manages to stop this irritating, pointless, completely idiotic, behaviour.

Omar 2023-02-14: Thank you! Wish I would've thought to use an extension earlier, because it was like two months of constantly deleting download history to appease my OCD desire to keep my extensions in the same spot on the bar. I do advise though if anyone want to keep the download shelf visible *only while a file is downloading*, download the 'AutoHideDownloadsBar' extension.

Jennifer G 2022-10-01: THAAAAAAANK YOUUUUU!!!!! I just spent the better part of an hour trying to find this. Why can't there just be a button on chrome that says: show download bar yes/no. Ugh. This app is a life saver! No more annoying download pop-ups!

joaquin ponzo 2022-07-02: Me vino genial, muchas gracias.
Nate 2022-05-05: Would be great if it did not block downloads with errors/waranings such as the keep/discard question for executables. Ideally it would allow these types to still pop up, while supressing succesful download messaging.

SHAURYA VERMA 2022-03-23: This extension has been working perfectly for me with no catch. Can't believe google devs haven't listened to the plea yet and acted upon it. Problem solving extensions like this one are what drives impressions.

Anton Dorozhkin (Doliman100) 2022-03-16: Please add another event listener: "chrome.management.onEnabled.addListener(disableShelf);". This is useful when you want to temporarily disable this extension and then enable it again. Without this event, a browser restart is required.

John Craig 2022-02-24: Thank you! I was so sick of always having to mouse down to click close on the download shelf/bar to regain precious vertical screen real estate. Now I can just get back to processing these TPM reports.

Carlo St. Regis 2021-12-30: I love this thing so much. Works perfectly. My downloads just appear in the stack in my dock with the system animation and I don't have to close that stupid bar taking up 10% of my browser 30 times a day.

hippo potamus 2021-12-18: Doesn't work. DL bar still present. Useless. The positive reviews must not be using the most recent chrome version or are fake.
