Browser Download Bar

[Daniel Johansson]

I've been trying Chrome each time a new version number has been
released, with the hope of the download bar to been removed. Still I
find my self uninstalling chrome each time, due to this extremely
annoying "feature".
Once there is an option to hide the downloadbar (the one that appears
at the bottom of the browser each time you download a file/save a
file) I will become a Chrome User. Untill that happens I'm afraid I'll
keep using Firefox..

I hope you take this into consideration, I know that others have
reacted to the "feature" of the download bar such as I have.

Regards

You have to realize there are users (myself included) who prefer the downloads bar to downloads UIs offered by other browsers.

That said, there _are_ plans for a new downloads UI.  (There is a flag for it on chrome://flags, but it does not work yet).

I suggest completely removing the downloads shelf. When a download
begins, a downloads tab would open and read "Downloads: 15%." Tabbed
browsing is one of Chrome's strongest and most unified features (ex:
tabbed options, bookmarks manager, history...). The downloads shelf
occupies too much space, jarringly shifts the screen when opening and
closing, and does not always need to be seen. I do not like a bar
(Chrome, IE), small window (Firefox), or toolbar button (Safari).
