Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for all the feedback provided regarding Open/SaveAs. We are now introducing an option for users using Edge version 87.0.629.0 and above to choose, for each download, whether they want to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel a download. To enable this option, navigate to edge://settings/downloads and enable, "Ask me what to do with each download." Once you download a file after enabling that setting, you will have the option to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel it. If you choose to open it directly, it will be downloaded to a temporary folder.

Additionally, we have exposed an option to directly delete downloaded files from your computer, in the browser so that you can easily clean up after downloading your files without leaving the browser.

To learn more about these features, please check out our post.

There are a lot of Download managers out there, free and paid, i think Microsoft should make it's own, perhaps integrated version. Free and paid for those that carry out a lot of D/L..

Make the download page as an APP and keep downloading when Edge is closed.

It's a easy way to manage download.

This is really great!
so we can start download, close the browser and then possibly see the download progress in the Windows 10 action center and also get a notification when download is done

A tone is very useful when the download is complete
