Open Downloads
Why can't the user open the downloaded files like in Firefox, IE or the original Edge? It's really annoying to download every file and then delete it instead of just open it. Thanks
Hi Shlomix, Thank you for taking the time to offer us your feedback. We are aware of this ask, and are still trying to determine its importance. We defaulted to the opposite behavior in the current version of Microsoft Edge, and received a lot of feedback that things disappeared after being downloaded. We are starting with this as the default as it allows users who get interrupted to get back to where they were without having to find and re-download content. We are certainly open to making changes, so please let us know how you tend to use downloads, so that we can best optimize for the scenario.
Thanks - Elliot
