Download Station Extension for Chrome Browser

Adapted from the original work done by LuukD

New version DownloadStation_Chrome_Extension version 4.x.x is Chrome manifest 3 compatible.

  • Updated to Chrome manifest 3.
  • Changed to show the 100 newest downloads (instead of the 100 oldest in the previous versions).
  • Changed progressbar for finished downloads to grey.
  • Added check if newer version available (runs when extension loaded and once every 24 hours).
  • Shows in options if there's a newer available from GitHub and provides a link to it.
  • Added buymecoffee and PayPal donate buttons for those who want to support me.
