How to restore Chrome downloads to bottom of screen

Google Chrome on a laptop

A recent Google Chrome update relocated download notifications from the bottom of the screen to the top right corner. While this change neatens things up by eliminating the wide download notification that used to pop up at the bottom of Chrome, you might not like the new location.

Personally, I'm not a fan of having downloads at the top right corner. Sure, it keeps things tidier on the page, but I sometimes mistakenly assume a download didn’t initiate because I’m so accustomed to a big notification popping up on the bottom of the screen. Thankfully, there’s a way to get downloads back to where they were.
