Hello, it's really nice to have the download progress in plasma notifications, but Google Chrome shows a bar at the bottom of the window whenever a download starts (it's quite annoying as you have to manually close the bar every download). The progress through plasma notifications is much nicer, but you kinda stay with a duplicate in the download bar of chrome.
I discovered you can disable the bar showing in every download through extensions api (it's actually the only way I found to disable the bar), so it would be awesome if we had a checkbox in the extension for chrome options letting us disable the download bar, so we stick just with the nicer download progress in plasma.
It's really simple to do it, here how I did it, as an example:

This would be a big improvement over the current way with doubling downloads in kde notification and downloads bar.

Doing this requires adding an additional permission which I am a bit wary about. However, newer Chrome versions stole the download popup from Firefox, so the bar is gone nowadays? :)
