Download Statusbar is a browser extension that let you easily manage your downloads from statusbar.
Simply click on the toolbar button to show the statusbar. Please note that, you need to have at least one active download for the statusbar to become visible. Within the statusbar, downloads are listed horizontally. Each download has a context-menu with several options. In order to close the statusbar please click on the red close button within the statusbar. Please note that, toolbar button only shows the statusbar.
Context-menu has several items including pause, cancel, clear and etc. Moreover there are few settings in the options page which you can adjust. For example, statusbar background color, font size, etc.
Note: Download Statusbar addon is still in beta and may have some bugs. If you see any bugs, or you have a feature request, please email me ( karl [dot] svothye [at] gmail [dot] com ) with the bug details. I will try to fix the issues as soon as possible.

- (2025-05-26) Lucas 'Ktulu789': Sucks to see all downloads all the time. Added to Chro... REMOVED from Chrome. Yes, I enabled the clear after this and that.
- (2025-01-13) Christopher Robinson: really not the same as the original chrome functionality. Only works on 1 tab and for some reasons shows my completed/deleted downloads? I just want my current downloads visible at all times without opening a menu.
- (2024-07-27) yizuman: The DL bar works great. I really hated the Bubblebar, drives me crazy. Thanks for creating this addon. However, could you please add a "clear" button so I can click on it to clear the downloads. I hope what I am saying make sense.
- (2024-05-18) Sergey Tarasov: Bug with file names. After adding each file a tile with file name 'Unknown' is created. Only if you close download bar and then open it again you can see the names of downloaded files.
- (2024-05-05) KE I: This plugin brings Chrome, which was sent back to the Stone Age by DownloadBubble, closer to the modern age.
- (2024-04-13) Fahim tahmid: great thank you for the extension
- (2024-03-10) Vinayak Bhurke: GREAT ONLY NEED TO APPEAR AND LOOK SAME AS OLD DOWNLOAD BAR IT WORKS SAME, DOWNLOAD BUBBLE WE HATE YOU.
- (2024-03-05) IC: Open source this please, I'd like to contribute myself
- (2024-02-20) Pedro Coelho: Suggestion: As many of us coming here are looking for a replacement for the new download bubble, a really good addon would be to remember the cleared files on the bar. Right now, if you clear the files, when you download a new one, all the cleared ones are brought back. Some way to control this would be great as it would behave like the old download bar from chrome.
- (2024-02-11) Ralph Sunshine: Everyone knows the people at Google SUCK! Now it's better thanks to you!
- (2024-02-01) Michael Kristensen: As much as I love having a download bar at the bottom (FU google for removing it!), then this extension is not one I can recommend. The amount of issues this extension has in terms of cpu and memory usage is astronomical. Chrome in itself, use (with my amount of extensions and other things I've done to the browser) roughly 700MB-1.2GB of ram. With this extension, that usage is currently sitting at 6.5 GB of ram usage (as I'm writing this), and the time chrome takes to load initially went through the roof as well. This addon does NOT need to read my ENTIRE download folder (it tried to list ALL files in my download folder), ESPECIALLY as my download folder is over 1 TB in size.
- (2024-01-31) Le Rauxe: Please make "all clear" button and option to show only recent downloads, and not all the past ones
- (2024-01-27) Bad Luck Poppy: Better than the download bubble that disappears if you're unlucky enough to click right after a download is finished but still has flaws. Instead of checking your entire download history the extension should only display recent downloads. I don't need to see that I downloaded an image 2 weeks ago.
- (2024-01-26) Korutz: THANK YOU. Wouldn't be needed if the self-proclaimed "UX experts" at Google stopped dumbing down the interface and removing features people still use.

- (2023-12-19) 박노아: pleace... make a 'all clear' buttom
- (2023-11-25) Kyle Clarke: I cant click or drag my downloads, might as well just be stuck using the bubble as it takes just as many actions to get to my stuff
- (2023-11-24) Stephen Sherry: Doesn't work for all downloads. Close chrome and edit the target of the shortcut to something like this with -disable-features=DownloadBubble added to the target. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-features=DownloadBubble
- (2023-11-24) Kevin Hodapp: Works for now as a replacement for Google's awful download bubble and UI change, but could use a "clear all download status" option. Edit: Well, submitted a bug report, but if Chrome crashes or gets shutdown improperly it will spam your notification bar with an error message that won't go away until you uninstall it and kill chrome. Still will be keeping a watch on this one.
- (2023-11-19) Constantine Andrienko: There is no default action for downloaded file. Every time I must 1. click menu and select "Launch" 2. Click "Yes" in new window "Allow Download Statusbar to open file"
- (2023-11-11) Jerry Okazaki: It needs to block the download bubble that is still at the top otherwise its pointless if it pops up while using this extension

- (2023-11-08) Max S.: Since Google now REMOVED the default Download Bar COMPLETELY from Chrome it's time to switch to another extension to do what chrome was already doing in the past... Please Google: STOP REMOVING FUNCTIONS!

- (2023-02-14) Michael Zock: Quite useful now that Google decided to remove the built-in one. Only problem I have with it is that it needs a button to remove all completed items from the list.

- (2021-11-29) Vyacheslav Sh: 1. Ломается часто в обновленном хроме (за сутки 3-4 раза). Отваливается. Просит переустановку. 2. Ширина строки не регулируется и закрывает часть сайтов - например gmail при попытке отправить письмо кнопка под строкой оказывается. 3. По умолчанию Хром всегда запоминал последнее место сохранения, теперь при каждой загрузке надо заново путь указывать. В целом порадовало, но эти баги и лаги... нужно допиливать.
- (2021-08-31) Najla Nur Ariqah: This extension is quiet good for those who wanted to customize where the download status bar come from. You can set it to the top of page too so it's not only on the bottom. You now also can change the color(background, text, progress color,etc). You can change the width and height too for the status bar(and also the text size). I don't really use it so i also don't have complain on it. Btw the creator of this extension is not really active, I came from timer extension which is it's created by him too and i wanna try this one. Most of extension he made is like 0.1.1 or 0.1.2 version

- (2021-03-02) Bob Stevenson: Needs to be a 'Clear completed downloads' button OR a function that works as: "automatically clear these items once they're finished downloading: jpg,jpeg, gif, png, (Allow editing of this parameter). Having to individually clear them one by one, so i dont have to see them, while active downloads are still happening is clutter. Having the 'clear item after showing or launching' function, but its just barely not enough. Almost nailed it. Right now, this addon is fairly standard, although i do appreciate that it shows the download rate, progress ratio, how long it took to download, source of download, and destination of where it went to, and file size. Its almost complete, but it is still visually chunky and i do wish it had a 'clear completed downloads' function like most if not all firefox download status bar addons have. Others have complained for the same function, so its not just me and pretty valuable. Its borderline a 4/5 addon. Its almost a 3/5 for how it looks, which brings me to say that i should be allowed to make it as short or wide as i want. Putting locks on it bothers me. It can't be any shorter than 40px. Fonts cant be any smaller than 12. This tolerable app is a demonstration of how pitiful chrome addons are imo. Chrome is for kids, sheep, and rare hurried situations.

- (2019-08-08) Y G: As others have said it doesn't need to be so high. Also, there's no 'Clear All' option so you have to clear each downloaded file, one by one!! Other than that quite good.

- (2019-06-11) R J: Great to add to Vivaldi, which is lacking a download status in the toolbar. My only complaint is that the height does not seem customizable and seems rather tall compared to a regular status bar. Allowing the end user to decide the height would be a great enhancement. Thank you!

- (2018-05-10) Matt: Not a bad start, very helpful for Vivaldi Browser. I do wish the height could be set to less than 45. The bar is just a little too tall.
