About this extension
A small MV3 extension that restores a Chrome-style download shelf across the bottom of every page. No build step, no framework, no dependencies.
Goals
Non-goals
Goals
- Reproduce the classic Chromium download shelf as closely as the extension APIs allow.
- Smooth over rough edges in the old implementation where needed -- "rose tinted glasses" approach.
- Show the same bar in every tab, updating in real time.
- Cost effectively nothing while idle.
Non-goals
- Modifying browser chrome (impossible from an extension).
- Replacing the new downloads bubble (we coexist with it).
- Anything out of scope for a modern extension
- We cannot auto-open files without user input. See "Notify-on-complete" below.
- We cannot inject HTML on
chrome://pages or any other internal page. - The native chrome chip menu went down (below the window). We are popping up because we can't draw content outside of the DOM.
