Downloads Overwrite Already Existing Files: A Convenient Chrome Add-on
Downloads Overwrite Already Existing Files is a free Chrome add-on developed by Zach Adams. As the name suggests, this add-on ensures that all downloads overwrite existing files instead of adding numerical suffixes like '(1)', '(2)', etc. This feature can be especially useful when you want to replace outdated files with updated versions without cluttering your storage with multiple copies.
One notable improvement in this version is the bug fix that allows the add-on to remember your previous download folder. Unlike the default behavior of reverting back to the default download folder, this add-on ensures that you can continue saving files in the folder of your choice.
Please note that Downloads Overwrite Already Existing Files does not compare the contents of files or their modification times before overwriting. It solely compares filenames. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when using this add-on to prevent any accidental loss or overwriting of important data.
