Description from store
Tired of closing the download bar after every download with the little close button in the right corner?
Because Google couldn't handle to add a simple little hotkey for that, I gave you this extension to close it with ALT+W.
You don't like the hotkey? Just change it ;)

Latest reviews
- (2023-08-14) Thank you this addon saved me a thousand clicks. However due to recent updates to Chrome the download bar has been removed so this app finally became obsolete for me.
- (2023-06-05) Alan Welsh: Sometimes the bar autocloses
- (2023-02-12) aan zaksa: I like this extension but just now it didn't do anything when I pressed Alt+W. After changing the keyboard shortcut to no avail, I reinstalled the extension and somehow it works again.
- (2023-01-18) akin kanva: Thank you so much. Your extension is really helpful
- (2022-11-22) LOL..what a simple program yet Google cant even implemented it, or maybe they just didnt even want to make a shortcut for this. Thanks Dev
- (2022-11-01) Riccardo Imbrescia: Does exactly what claims. Should be a default feature in Chrome
- (2022-02-14) Nicolai Lorits: Fantastic stuff. Should be default in Chrome. Disregard earlier reviews, you can still see your download history.
- (2021-10-27) Furkan keskin: I was annoyed because of the download bar. I've wondered if someone made an extension to close it, I had no hope but someone did! thank you so much :)) it works great.
- (2021-02-12) Daniele Pais: That's great, I love it, it just do what it says in the tin. Alt+w and that's it....it goes!
- (2020-11-24) Max Box: Works exactly as it states.
- (2020-08-09) 罗宾: 我喜欢用, 方便
- (2020-08-06) Simon Sananes: yes sir! works!
- (2020-03-25) 雷雨: thanks for work, it's useful and can be used on edge.
- (2020-03-16) Nafiur Rahman “Shafin” Khadem: Works flawlessly.
- (2019-11-29) Мышб: Found for extension which move bar to another place like made in Yandex Browser (top-right corner instead of settings button). But no one made it. So, close with hotkey more comfortable than with mouse or touchpad. Thank you.
- (2019-10-01) Matthew I. Patchett: Works fine, it haven't delete my list for now.
- (2019-03-23) Kekeli Afantchao: Really glad you took the time to create a shortcut that could accomplish this simple task. However, as others have mentioned it clears the whole download list. Not sure if you're working on changing this already, but that change would make this shortcut perfect.
- (2018-11-12) Ronan Bolzer: Un appui du raccourci alt+W et hop, la gênante barre des téléchargements disparaît. Inconvénient de taille : par cette opération l'historique des téléchargements est effacé. En tout cas, moi ça me gêne
- (2018-03-30) Evgeny Goldin: Beautiful. Finally. Since Google prima donnas couldn't be bothered with a simple shortcut for this.
- (2018-02-15) Matthias Wehrlein: Works as expected. But like others have already mentioned, it also clears the complete download history. Which is … not nice. I guess this is because there's no official programmatic way to simply just close the bar.
- (2017-11-18) Công dân toàn cầu: Just loved it
- (2017-04-06) En Pei Lim: Was hoping for a shortcut that closes the download bar without clearing the Downloads list (which saves previous download location history) This does the same thing as Always Clear Downloads - except that one is automatic and you need to use a shortcut for this
- (2017-03-31) Normand Defayette: Perfect! Thank you. Couldn't ask for "less". Simple yet efficient, just the way I like it.
- (2017-03-09) Matt Groth: thank you
- (2017-03-02) Deivid CM2: Perfect !
- (2017-02-22) Pete Kleckowski: Simple. Does what it claims to accomplish.
