[Bug] Chrome Freeze/Crash upon Download

Open Nes370 opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

Hello, I've been using your extension for some months now and just earlier this week I was experiencing an issue where whenever I would download any file through Google Chrome, it would begin downloading the item and then immediately freeze up. Checking my downloads folder, the item was successfully downloaded, however Chrome would become inoperable. I would then be forced to close Chrome through Task Manager, and restart the application before I could resume web browsing.

I tried restarting Chrome multiple times, restarting my computer, and yet each time I would open Chrome and download my first item, it would freeze again. Eventually the problem went away when I disabled the Downloads extension. So I believe that something unexpected occurred in the Downloads extension that was the cause of my problems.

I'm sorry that I cannot pinpoint anything more specific than these symptoms and not a specific cause as now I've resolved the issue for myself by disabling the extension for a few days, and turning it back on now and the problem is no longer present. However, I thought it would be good to make you aware of the potential issue.
