Download Box for Google Chrome

Download Box: Replace Chrome's Downloads Shelf with a Popup Menu

Download Box is a free Chrome add-on developed by Matthew Brown that aims to improve the way you manage your downloads. With this add-on, you can get rid of Chrome's downloads shelf at the bottom of your screen and replace it with a convenient popup menu in the top bar.

The main features of Download Box include pagination, a "show-in-folder" button to quickly access the downloaded file's location, and the ability to copy the URL from which a file was downloaded. Additionally, the add-on allows you to retry failed downloads and provides information such as file size and estimated time remaining for ongoing downloads. Pausing in-progress downloads can be done with a simple right-click.

One notable aspect of Download Box is its support for both dark and light themes, which automatically follow your system preference. This ensures a seamless visual experience regardless of your chosen theme.

It is worth mentioning that Download Box is an open-source project, which means that the source code is available for anyone to view and contribute to on GitHub. This transparency can provide users with an added sense of security and trust.
