Download Manager | Video Downloader | Bulk Image Downloader
Chrono Download Manager is the first and only full-featured download manager for Google Chrome™. Manage all your downloads inside Chrome™ and there is no need to install any separate downloader application. Chrono is tightly integrated with Chrome™ by context menus, toolbar buttons and key shortcuts.
Besides download management, Chrono is also your best video download helper and bulk image downloader. The Chrono Sniffer detects all links, images, audios and videos on a webpage, and you can filter URLs by their file types or by Regular Expression.

* Rule System uses programmable rules to automatically rename your downloads, and to route your files to different folders.
====================================
*** KNOWN ISSUES
====================================
* Chrono currently uses Chrome™'s built-in Downloads API, so it does not offer multi-threaded downloading capability and has limited support for pausing and resuming a large download.
* All downloaded files can only be saved under Chrome™'s default downloads folder or any of its subdirectories.
* The extension may not work properly in incognito mode.
* The extension is not for downloading youtube videos.

- I Like it - mostly all is fine

- potentially good, but you have to manually pick the path every time, it doesnt "remember" the last chosen path. also having an ad in the downloading display is just not OK. uninstalled for that reason alone.

- There's no "resume" button to continue downloading without loss of progress, even when it has failed. So that's a loss of default functionality.

- Easy to use and works very well and manages multiple download.

- When you click "clear completed tasks" it is intuitive that it would erase only the list... No, it erases the downloaded files as well. Lost 100+ GB, hours of my life and bandwith, trash. 0/10

- Excellent tool. Highly functional. Much more features from the context menu off a web page vs clicking the icons on the extensions menu bar.

- This is a nightmare, a disaster! It's not stable at all, not reliable! Too many connection lost. Even default web browser's downloader works better that this disapoinment!

- It's frustrating when you download almost 100% of a file, but suddenly it gets interupted permanently due to a second of network dismissting! I strongly prefer IDM s ince it manages the download process and has got memory for the files which have not been downloaded completely yet.

- Just some fancy UI. Absolutely garbage in functionality! Just lost 3 Gb downloaded file because for a simple connection interruption.

- This plugin has a big defect, it can't remember last location. On windows 10 and macOS 15, I use chrome browser to save an image from webpage, it always use "download" folder, so I have to manually select the folder location I want every time. This bothered me very long time. After I removed the plugin, the problem resolved.

- I was a very happy user of downthemall until chrome disabled it. i decided to install chrono download manager and found it to be useless, in fact i would call it chronic download saboteur. Not only does it fail to download many files but when i simply try to download a file myself, this extension interferes with my downloading by hoarding all my attempted downloads like a malevolent fat toad and then failing to download them. I currently have a system message from this extension saying it is downloading 161 items at 0 bytes per second, and this message has been there for at least 30 minutes. i could have downloaded any of THE items manually in a second or two for each one, but foolishly used this extension instead. Now it looks like I will have to manually download 161 items one by one using the links in this extension manager. Be warned!

- I did not find any benefit of this extention. It's not a manager, just a combination of UI elements, with no benefits over the built-in Chrome downloader feature. Constantly stops large downloads with a "Network Error" message, while the original Chrome downloader downloads those files.

- 2025 UPDATE: Still using this. I honestly do enjoy it. Its easy and simple and I get all the information I need! This is exactly what I have been trying to find, forever! NO 3rd party anything. Thanks for this.

- Unusable IMO. I'm sure there is a way to click on downloads and open/save them but I don't care enough to find out. If it's not obvious, then you've screwed up your UI design.

- It's difficult to find a decent extension these days, everyone is trying to throw a subscription your way! This however, is perfect. It does exactly what it says it is going to do, and it does it for free! Brilliant extension, highly recommended.

- Update (2025-06-23): From 4 stars to 3 stars. Bro, I get it, you want us to try out your new YouTube addon. I don't want to. The popup is incessant. Makes me want to go out of my way to never try it out. Best chrome download manager I have found so far for use on Windows. My only complaint would be that the user interface looks a little dated -- I would love to see it updated to be more in line visually with the likes of Windows 11 or macOS Ventura. Overall great!!

- Great downloading. It would be great if there was a tutorial on how to use it (I figured it out, but might be harder for others).

- It works pretty fine and helps me download files and series with ease. Recommended generally.
