Disable Downloads Bar is a free Chrome extension to disable Chrome downloads bar. It simply removes the Downloads Bar, which appears on the bottom of the Google Chrome’s window, every time a new download starts.
Downloads Bar of Google Chrome is somewhat useful as it shows the status of any download in progress. It also allows to use the Downloaded file from there only. But it doesn’t disappear from the window on its own,which keeps the bottom of the Chrome window covered until you click the close icon on the bar. And, this becomes very irritating sometimes. So people who are irritated of being disturbed by the Downloads Bar and want to get rid of this bar from your Google Chrome once and for all, this extension is certainly gonna help you.
