Reviews & Comments of Force Download chrome extension

It works good, but on occasion, the download link provided is either blocked, or won't allow me to download the video. It also has a problem downloading from Reddit. When you want to download a video from Reddit that contains audio, it apparently has a separate audio file for no apparent reason. Once fixed, I'll give it 5 stars!

Didn't work for me. You can achieve the same thing with Alt+click anyway. Well, not exactly the same, because Alt+click actually does work.

It doesnt seem to work. It just downloaded a useless html file.

Does exactly what it says it does. Some users seem to not understand what it is, what it's for, or how it works, but if you do know what it does, what it's for, and how it works, it works correctly and does exactly what it's designed to do. If you have a link that you KNOW you want to download and expressly DO NOT want to be opened by Chrome in a browser tab, then you click this extension and enter that link there and it will download the file instead of opening or displaying it in Chrome. I suspect many users who give this extension poor reviews don't really understand what constitutes a "file" on the web, and so it doesn't do what they think it should. Bad reviews appear to be caused by misunderstanding the purpose of the extension and what it does and how it does it.

worked perfectly as described

it did not work that much

Does exactly what it says it does. Put the URL of something in the URL, force that file to download to your download folder. Kind of clunky since the same can be done with Right Click + Save As ... but if you're working with a known file structure and want to get the files without a bunch of clicking around, this is for you.

The purpose of this extension is not known thus what exactly it does is unknown. One can simply say - Not working / Useless !

Not working.

it's not working
