josh_bodner One of the main uses I had for this feature both in the old Microsoft Edge and on browsers like Firefox is being able to determine the size of the download any possibility that can be added back? There are times when this can't be determined and for those cases, that's when it's fine for it to not show up.

Also, why is it ordered Open, Save As, Save? It should follow the convention of old Edge and IE with Open, Save, Save As and there should be the 3 options shown there by default, not just 2 (plenty of room to spare!)

sprite-1 and everybody else, please make sure you each file feedback about all the things you want like having a dedicated Save button or showing the size before it starts, that way we'll get accurate counts in our database for how many people want it.

Also, the Save option does exist; it's just in the download item's ... menu. Personally, I know it was the option that I used the least out of the three back in the Edge Legacy days, so I'm curious if any of you have any idea how often you used the three different options?

I am aware that it's in the 3-dot menu. I personally used the Save button way more than Save As because I use it as a secondary checkpoint for "do I really want to download this file?" along with seeing its file size.
Also I have filed a Feedback.
