What is the Download Bar in Chrome?




The download bar is a feature of Chrome that appears at the bottom of your browser window when you download something from the internet. It shows you the name, size, progress, and status of your downloads. You can also pause, resume, cancel, open, or show your downloads from the download bar.


The download bar has some benefits, such as letting you access your downloads quickly and conveniently, keeping track of your downloads history, and alerting you of any potential risks or errors. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as taking up screen space, blocking some web content or buttons, or popping up every time you download something.


How to Disable the Download Bar in Chrome with Extensions




One of the easiest ways to disable the download bar in Chrome is to use extensions. Extensions are small programs that add extra features or functionality to your browser. There are many extensions that can help you disable the download bar in Chrome, such as Always Clear Downloads, Disable Download Bar, and AutoplayStopper.


To disable the download bar in Chrome with extensions, you need to follow these steps:


  • Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for the extension you want to use.



  • Click on the "Add to Chrome" button and confirm the installation.



  • Once the extension is installed, you can customize its settings or options according to your preferences.



Here are some examples of extensions that can disable the download bar in Chrome and how to use them:


Always Clear Downloads




This extension can automatically clear the downloads list and hide the download bar in Chrome. It can also show a notification when a download is complete, and let you open or show the downloaded file from the notification. You can also set a delay time for clearing the downloads list and hiding the download bar, or disable the notification if you want.

Disable Download Bar




This extension can simply remove the download bar from your browser window. It does not clear the downloads list or show any notification. It just hides the download bar from view, giving you more screen space and less distraction.


To use this extension, you just need to install it and it will work automatically. You don't need to configure any settings or options.


AutoplayStopper




This extension can not only stop autoplaying videos and audios on web pages, but also disable the download bar in Chrome. It can prevent unwanted downloads from starting automatically, and hide the download bar from your browser window. It can also show a notification when a download is complete, and let you open or show the downloaded file from the notification.


To use this extension, you need to do the following:


  • After installing the extension, click on its icon in the toolbar and select "Options".



  • In the options page, you can enable or disable autoplay blocking, download blocking, download hiding, and download notification.



  • You can also whitelist or blacklist certain websites for autoplay blocking or download blocking.



  • Click on "Save" to apply your changes.



How to Disable the Download Bar in Chrome with Chrome Flags




Another way to disable the download bar in Chrome is to use chrome flags. Chrome flags are experimental features that are not enabled by default, but you can enable them manually if you want to try them out. Some of these flags can help you disable the download bar in Chrome, by replacing it with a different UI element, such as a download bubble or a download status in notification center.


To disable the download bar in Chrome with chrome flags, you need to follow these steps:


  • Type chrome://flags in your browser address bar and press Enter.



  • Search for the flag you want to enable using the search box at the top of the page.



  • Select "Enabled" from the drop-down menu next to the flag name.



  • Click on "Relaunch" at the bottom of the page to restart your browser and apply the changes.



Here are some examples of flags that can disable the download bar in Chrome and how to enable them:


Enable Download Bubble




This flag can replace the download bar with a small bubble that shows up at the bottom right corner of your browser window when you download something. The bubble shows you the name and progress of your download, and disappears when it is done. You can also click on it to open or show your downloaded file.


To enable this flag, you need to do the following:


  • Type chrome://flags/#enable-download-bubble in your browser address bar and press Enter.



  • Select "Enabled" from the drop-down menu next to "Enable Download Bubble".



  • Click on "Relaunch" at the bottom of the page to restart your browser and apply the changes.



Enable Download Status in Notification Center




This flag can show you the status of your downloads in a notification popup instead of a download bar. The notification popup appears at the bottom right corner of your screen when you download something, and shows you the name, progress, and status of your downloads. You can also click on it to open or show your downloaded file.


To enable this flag, you need to do the following:


  • Type Type chrome://flags/#enable-download-notification-center in your browser address bar and press Enter.



  • Select "Enabled" from the drop-down menu next to "Enable Download Status in Notification Center".



  • Click on "Relaunch" at the bottom of the page to restart your browser and apply the changes.



How to Disable the Download Bar in Chrome with Selenium




A third way to disable the download bar in Chrome is to use Selenium. Selenium is a web automation tool that can perform various tasks on web pages, such as testing, scraping, or filling forms. You can also use Selenium to disable the download bar in Chrome, by adding an argument to the ChromeOptions object.
