It is worth mentioning that the new downloads experience in Google Chrome is currently in its infancy. Overall, the latest iteration of the downloads UX in Chrome Canary mimics the on in Edge, although the latter offers several additional features, such as pinning the button to the toolbar. Also, Chrome hides the button after 24 hours since the last download. Once the browser finishes downloading a file, the downloads button changes its icon to indicate completed downloads. The button has a radial indicator bar to let the user track the progress without obscuring the content of the open web page with additional UI elements. Now, when the user starts downloading a file, the browser shows a download button on the toolbar next to the address bar. The latest update of Chrome Canary ditches that UI in favor of a more compact flyout. The stable version of Chrome keeps all downloads on a “shelf” at the bottom of the window.

Several days after the initial coverage, the promised redesign landed in Chrome Canary for public testing. Recently a post on Chromium Gerrit revealed Google’s plans to revamp the downloads UI in Chrome.
