All downloads overwrite existing files instead of adding ' (1)', ' (2)', etc. Includes fix to remember folders.
All downloads act to overwrite existing filenames instead of automatically adding ' (1)', ' (2)', etc.
See following video for a quick demonstration:

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.

- (2023-12-22) Private: This should be included as the default in Edge. You are the reason I did not switch back to Chrome!
- (2023-12-11) Goldstein,: This add-on makes life so much easier. Should be a default option in Edge.
- (2022-06-29) Henry: 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.
- (2022-06-16) Mingcheng: 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.
