How can I know a user is downloading a file from their Chrome

I want to create a Chrome extension which can forward the download links to my server.

I have two questions:

  1. How can I know if a user is downloading a file from Chrome?
  2. Is there anyway can let Chrome popup my Chrome extension instead of its default download bar?

Both things are (currently) impossible to implement because there is no "download" module for Google Chrome extensions.

See the Downloads Extensions API Proposal; such a feature may be implemented in the future.

You can detect browser with javascript.

Browser Codename: navigator.appCodeName

Browser Name: navigator.appName

Browser Version: navigator.appVersion

Platform: navigator.platform

User-agent header: navigator.userAgent

You can try these functions at this link

Edit: Misunderstanding...
