I am not responsible for lost/overwritten data. This does not compare the contents of files or the file modification time before overwriting, it only compares filenames.

- This should be included as the default in Edge. You are the reason I did not switch back to Chrome!

- This add-on makes life so much easier. Should be a default option in Edge.

- Already used the extension from the chrome web store. Decided to start searching for extensions I use up on the Edge Addons page just for the sake of it being native even though I doubt it really matters much lol. This one is essential. Glad to see it.

- See, that is why I have hard time to use chrome-based broswer. Kind of stupid that Firefox has the functionalities like "Already existing files" but chrome/edge don't.

- No more regretting itchy mouse fingers

- Almost makes MS Edge behave more like "other" browsers
- Llethander
- Does exactly as it says. Allows you to overwrite existing files instead of having (1), (2), (3), etc added to the end of the file name.
