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.
Reporting this topic for moderator to take a look. looks like OP just wants to advertise here for chrome, propagate their own agenda and by marking their post as best response it misleads other people who read this topic.
this is all despite the fact that the solution was already presented in this thread.
Agreed with what Alexei says, OP is just simply disliked how the new download system worked and moved on to Chrome. No big deal, just move on.
