    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Suddenly, Chrome downloads are no longer showing at the bottom of the window.

    Earlier this month, Google made some changes to its Chrome browser, one of which was switching the download notifications from a bar at the bottom of the browser window to a drop-down icon at the top right of the address bar.

    Some users may like this new way of finding downloads — certainly, it’s neat, out of the way, and lets you quickly see all of your downloads from the last 24 hours.

    I’ve got a lot of muscle memory invested in clicking on the download links at the bottom of the Chrome screen, and while I may eventually get used to the new download tray, just now, I find it to be an inconvenience.

    I found this fix in the Google Chrome Help site, and it worked for me.

    However, it came with a warning that “this is a experimental flag and Google may remove it in the future.”
