MicrosoftIntroducing the new downloads experience
The new Microsoft Edge recently turned one year old, over the last year we’ve heard your feedback about the downloads experience. While there’s a lot you liked, a common criticism was that it was oft...
Please for the love of god just add a setting to disable this. The problem with the ribbon at the bottom was that you forced people who choose where to download each time to click an extra button each time. Please change that too!!!!

I hate this feature so much!!
You say "a common criticism" but ignore the proportion of normal users that never complained about this. There now I have given you some real user feedback that everyone wants because why would anyone want to click a download link and then Save As to get the file save dialog every friggen time?!

Wyatt C Jackson I searched many times in both settings and flags and of course online. I couldn't find any way to avoid the delay and click each time I want to download something. Kinda feels like users like me are getting punished for not wanting to dump all our downloads in a downloads folder.
They need to show all 3 options, Open, Save, Save as by default, without hiding any of them. it will save clicks and time. that's the best design. but Edge developers never responded about this suggestion.
