    There is absolutely an extra click after this change.

     

    Before: Click link > Change folder if needed > Save

    Now: Click link > Click Save As > Change folder if needed > Save

     

    Additionally that extra click happens at the bottom of the screen (whereas the file browse dialog appears in the middle of the screen), so that extra click is probably far from where your mouse cursor was.

I really hate the new behavior of the tiny file save prompt at the bottom. Can you please just utilize the standard file save dialog, which can be interacted with via keyboard? This is one of the worst changes you've made to the browser so far, in my memory. 

 

Before it was easy, you click on a file, pick a folder location, hit Enter. Now I click a file link, then stare and think it's doing nothing. Then I eventually notice the tiny unobtrusive prompt at the bottom that can only be interacted with via mouse. Which UX designer told you this was good behavior?
