Why would the developer be smart enough to tamper with the settings item inside the download setting
Thanks for submitting feedback, we appreciate the care you took to describe your problem. From what I can understand, it appears that you are finding the recent change to support "Open" functionality in downloads to be inefficient.
In particular, what I am hearing is that you prefer that once you click a donwload link, it asks you where you want to save the file immediately (without having to click "Save as", which requires you to perform one extra click).
The feature team is keeping track of feedback of this type. We made the change because we received overwhelming feedback from people who want the previous "Open/SaveAs" functionality in legacy Edge back yet we didn't want to overcomplicate the settings associated with Downloads, which may confuse users.
I don't expect the development team to deal with this issue.
For one, I've moved the important stuff to chrome.
Second, I'm using a stable version of EDGE, and this feature, if it appeared from the Canary version and persisted through the stable version, must be something that no one cares about, or the development team doesn't care about.
Third, chrome can support my file handling work perfectly.
But I'm very unhappy with the development team for making such a change, and all I can do is switch from edge to chrome and post a complaint to let you know it's there.

我并不指望开发团队能处理这个问题。
一是，我已经把重要的东西都搬到了chrome上
二是，我使用的是稳定版edge，这个功能如果从金丝雀版出现，并一直持续存在到稳定版，必然就是没人在意，或者开发团队不在意。
三是，chrome能完美支持我的文件处理工作。
但是我对于开发团队这样的改动非常不满，我所能做的不过就是把edge换成chrome，顺便发个帖子抱怨一下，让你们知道有这回事而已。
- Well, this was actually a well requested feature. Lots of people wanted this. It's why it was added. I specifically requested this as well coming from the old version of edge. Obviously, there are problems with it. And I hope the team is working on them, but your issue is specifically tied to a third-party extension and would be better served by speaking to the third party developer, but yeah, the edge team can probably work to add a workaround as well to faciliate this niche scenario.
