Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

- Very similar to the original "Downloads Overwrite Existing Files". This one includes a bug fix so it will remember your previous download folder, rather than default back to your default download folder.

- Microsoft Edge Addon: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dfnblaebmpjlokbkadgeaghajajidojj

- See source code here: https://github.com/zach-adams/downloads-overwrite-already-existing-files

- I am not responsible for lost/overwritten data. This does not compare the contents of files or the file modification time before overwriting, it only compares filenames.

AI product read

Override Chrome's default download behavior to overwrite existing files with the same name instead of appending ' (1)', ' (2)', etc.

Chrome's default behavior of renaming duplicate downloads with numeric suffixes (e.g., file (1).pdf) creates clutter and confusion. This extension forces overwriting so the latest version replaces the old one.

User installs extension. Whenever a download occurs and a file with the same name already exists in the target folder, the extension intercepts the onDeterminingFilename event and sets conflictAction to 'overwrite', so the new file replaces the old one without generating a numbered suffix. No user interaction required after installation.

Target users: Users who frequently re-download updated versions of the same file / Developers and power users who prefer overwriting duplicate downloads

Extension is extremely simple (63 lines of JS). Analysis is straightforward with high confidence. No ambiguity.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension has no payment platforms, no subscription APIs, no feature gating, no upgrade prompts. It is a single-function free utility with no premium tier. The 'pro' keyword hits are false positives (metadata hash and a code comment about a parameter name).

Confidence: 100
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a purely local background service worker that listens to chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename and sets conflictAction to 'overwrite'. There is no authentication, account creation, login UI, or external service communication requiring credentials.
