How to close when a tab when download finish?

Question

I am developing a bot to download a files from a website. The url is example.com/1/download example.com/2/download example.com/3/download

And I create a javascript code like:

i = 0;
while(i <= 100){
    window.open("https://example.com/" + i + "/download", "_blank");
    i++;
}

This works, but I like to close the page after download the file.

Any idea?

Take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/1372096/4949005 does that solve your problem? — smoksnes, May 18 '21 at 13:04
Could you define exactly what sort of "bot" you mean? Is this a browser extension/injected JS/part of a page you own? — DBS, May 18 '21 at 13:07
This won't work. According to browser spec, only pop ups that are opened as a result of user action will be allowed. Others will be blocked. — Sagar V, May 18 '21 at 13:18

window.close() will close the current window.`

You can execute a script that will call window.close() after the file is successfully downloaded.

Can you include my edited answer logic in your script? That should work fine. – Badmaash May 18 '21 at 13:21
There is no way to detect if the file has been downloaded unfortunatly. – utdev Dec 08 '22 at 20:06
