LONG time user of IDM here. I think most of us knew that Ublock Origin was going to be axed with the coming changes to chrome but I was not expecting IDM to be disabled as well. This is a huge loss for me as I have grown accustomed to IDM sorting downloads into separate folders based on file type automatically. So my question is to those of you who use it, what are your plans now? Are you just going to stop using IDM even though you have an active subscription to it or are you going to move to a different browser that still supports it if any?
Thoughts?
Cannot enable IDM integration extension
How to use Extensions not listed on Web Store?
Internet Download Manager extension is flagged in Google Chrome.
Chrome has disabled Internet Download Manager (IDM) along with Ublock Origin.. so what now?

This is due to a big change in chrome from Google. Google has made changes in it's policy regarding chrome that it will not allow extension install from outside the chrome web store.
It is done to protect users from malware and scam on the web.
There is no way out for this. Sorry
You can try this, which worked for me:
Remove the IDM extension currently installed in your Chrome then go to this site IDM Integration Module offered by www.internetdownloadmanager.com and add the extension there, this way Chrome will not auto disable the extension anymore.
