About this extension
A fork of the original Downloads Sidebar which was abandoned in 2021 (by an unknown author).
The forked reborn extension does exactly the same as its original (displaying downloads, file name, download speed) with the only difference that now you can close the sidebar the same way you open it - by clicking on the extension icon in the toolbar. Here's a video demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4XAPyZIk1k

The reborn extension opens a sidebar which displays your past and current downloads, meaning what you have downloaded and what is currently being downloaded. Completed downloads are retained between browser sessions, so you need to manually clear them.

On the github page (click the link "Support page" below) there's an unofficial dark theme release. It's unofficial bc I made it mostly for me - to match the currently used dark theme for the browser which I made 4 years ago. There's also an explanation about theming enthusiasts in the readme-md. Since there's a high chance you won't like my dark theme for the extension, I didn't upload it here.
