Downloads UI needs to be signicantly improved
I agree with this, not as much because it is hard to notice that a download has started, but because I really hate the download bar popping up in the bottom just like Chrome. I also don't like that files will automatically download instead of giving you options for what to do with the file. I know that there is and option to "ask what to do with downloads", but it just immediately shows a file explorer save prompt. I would like to have something a little more like the non-chromium edge that asks if you want to save, save as, cancel, or run for exe's. I especially like the run option for exe's. That is one of my few large problems/dislikes of the new edge. I HATE the Chrome style download bar. I think that many people would like the option to keep the Chrome style download bar, but I think there are also many people who would like a different download bar/prompt for little more control over what happens with downloads. Thanks devs!
EDIT: Spelling, wording
I agree with
"I think that many people would like the option to keep the Chrome style download bar, but I think there are also many people who would like a different download bar/prompt for little more control over what happens with downloads. "
There has been a lot of great suggestions and we appreciate them all.
Hopefully, we can get something out to be tested in the future builds.
Thanks for the feedback,
