This download behavior isn't really strange at all, it is exactly as Chrome/Chromium behaves.  Hopefully, Microsoft enhances the download experience over the next few months before this browser is properly released to be in more line with what IE/Edge users are used to.

I know, and that's the point (and the problem): the download experience of the new Edge, at this time, is exactly as in Chrome/Chromium.

I hope that Microsoft will implement a download experience more in line with the current Edge experience, and I know and understand that this requiere some time to be implemented.

 

But with my comment I only want to put out some others regressions that we found and give feedback to Microsoft about these, given some use cases and provide more context so to enable Microsoft to understand why we would like that these issues be addressed by Microsoft in the near future and plan how to address these issues
