All downloads overwrite existing files instead of adding ' (1)', ' (2)', etc. Includes fix to remember folders.

- Very similar to the original "Downloads Overwrite Existing Files". This one includes a bug fix so it will remember your previous download folder, rather than default back to your default download folder.
- Microsoft Edge Addon: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dfnblaebmpjlokbkadgeaghajajidojj
- See source code here: https://github.com/zach-adams/downloads-overwrite-already-existing-files
- I am not responsible for lost/overwritten data. This does not compare the contents of files or the file modification time before overwriting, it only compares filenames.

Nick Newman 2022-04-28 Ty so much! Love it! Works great
Андрей Булыгин 2022-04-23 This extension might conflict with a custom extension that uses "downloads" permission. However, the problem can be solved by finding the source code of this extension on github and appending it to the source code of the custom extension.
Stephen Martinez-Hill 2022-04-07 Fantastic extension, just works. Removes chromes annoying 'feature' where it adds a number in brackets to the end of the file name (1). This will save me the few seconds needed to remove this every time I download this file = massive time saving over time.
Tiffany Sanal 2021-11-30 Chrome is extremely frustrating without this extension. The only problem is it breaks addons like Image Downloader Continued refusing to let it choose the download location because it's fighting it for filenaming. Still, for most normal operation the extension's amazing. Whoever thought we should have (1) (2) (3)+ copies of a single file instead of just overwriting or rejecting a download or prompting a rename is just bad at design at a fundamental level.
Pierre M. 2021-04-26 Install and forget it. Perfect. Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Thanks!
