In chrome I open the chrome://downloads page and then retrieve the downloaded files list from shadow DOM like this:

const docs = document
  .querySelector('downloads-manager')
  .shadowRoot.querySelector('#downloads-list')
  .getElementsByTagName('downloads-item');

This solution is restrained to chrome, the data also contains information like file path and download date.
