in plain english

Extension Download Manager is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Brave that replaces the built-in downloads page with a cleaner, more capable interface. Instead of the browser's default downloads page, you get a dark, keyboard-friendly list of your files with filtering, sorting, and grouping by day, and it opens automatically whenever the browser would normally show the standard page. Two features set it apart from what browsers offer by default. First, every file you save gets an automatic date prefix in the format DDMMYYYY, so a file called photo.png saved on 12 May 2026 becomes 12052026_photo.png. Sorting files by name then automatically sorts them by date as a side effect. Second, you can configure automatic folder routing, so files get organized into subfolders by date, by file type such as Images, Videos, Documents, Source code, and Software, or by the website they came from. There is also a right-click option to save images from sites that normally block direct downloads. Platforms that use anti-hotlink protection often refuse image requests that arrive from outside the page itself. The extension works around this by fetching the image from within the page's own browsing context, which carries the correct credentials to satisfy the site's protection. The extension is built with TypeScript, React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, and it uses Manifest V3, the current Chrome extension format. It is not yet available on the Chrome Web Store, so installing it currently requires building the project from source and loading the result into the browser through developer mode. The full README is longer than what was shown.
