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.

Es muy buena extension, la recomiendo muchisimo. Pero si tu archivo lo tenés guardado en alguna carpeta solo se sobreescribe y va a la carpeta de descargas asé que lo tenes que acomodar devuelta. Después de eso ningún problema 10/10
Getting this after losing 10% on an assignment because I submitted an older version of it without questions filled in. Boy, oh boy do I sure love having 20 different files named ASSIGNMENT_4 (1).pdf,...,ASSIGNMENT_4 (20).pdf No longer have that issue! Thanks!
Ty so much! Love it! Works great
This extension might conflict with a custom extension that uses "downloads" permission. However, the problem can be solved by finding the source code of this extension on github and appending it to the source code of the custom extension.
Fantastic extension, just works. Removes chromes annoying 'feature' where it adds a number in brackets to the end of the file name (1). This will save me the few seconds needed to remove this every time I download this file = massive time saving over time.
Chrome is extremely frustrating without this extension. The only problem is it breaks addons like Image Downloader Continued refusing to let it choose the download location because it's fighting it for filenaming. Still, for most normal operation the extension's amazing. Whoever thought we should have (1) (2) (3)+ copies of a single file instead of just overwriting or rejecting a download or prompting a rename is just bad at design at a fundamental level.
Install and forget it. Perfect. Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Thanks!
Это плагин по нужности на уровне блокировщиков рекламы.
It's just a little thing, but I'm overwriting files 20+ times a day in my work. This extension has probably saved me a collective couple hours of time!
Beware! It overwrites silently! Should have an option of some kind of notification
