Narod Downloader is a free Chrome add-on developed by dreikanter that allows users to easily download files from Yandex.Narod without having to deal with annoying captchas. Yandex.Narod is a file hosting service that offers great features, but the need to prove that you are not a robot can be frustrating. While other browsers have the Yandex.Bar add-on to solve this issue, there is no such solution available for Google Chrome. That's where Narod Downloader comes in.

Update: Since the introduction of Yandex.Disk, the relevance of this extension has decreased over time, as fewer files are now hosted on Yandex.Narod.

The extension has undergone significant changes, with the removal of the button in the omnibar and the elimination of any settings. Now, when you visit a file download page, you will see a direct download link with no captcha.

The extension's source code has been published on GitHub, allowing grateful users to not only report bugs but also provide patches. The extension also features free icons from Ruby Software and Fatcow. The developer is also seeking decent promotional images for the web store.

Overall, Narod Downloader is a convenient tool for Chrome users who frequently download files from Yandex.Narod. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need to solve captchas and provides a direct download link.
