Mixed mode content download warning

After the recent update to v124 in Stable, all of a sudden we had a bunch of internal sites start throwing mixed mode content download warnings which blocked file downloads. I was able to bypass this...

Has this been confirmed as an actual change and not just a bug? I was still thinking this is something that will be patched and not a new normal...has anyone heard something different from MS or elsewhere?

Not a bug just bad communication. I expect from Google but Microsoft is usually pretty good at getting the info out before hand.

    FYI - from Google (Chromium):

    Hi there,

    I do not believe that this is a regression -- none of the code involved has changed meaningfully in several releases, and the current behavior is working as intended.

     * ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings permits allowlisting individual extensions from "file type" warnings (e.g. "be careful, this is an executable!").
     * InsecureContentAllowedForUrls suppresses warnings that stem from the download being delivered over an insecure connection (i.e. not HTTPS).

    Those warnings are distinct, and their methods for suppressing them are distinct. You might want, for instance, to permit insecure downloads from an intranet page, but that page should still not be serving executable files. Or perhaps you're not worried about apk files, but insecure sites still pose a risk.

    As a result, I'm closing this as WontFix. If there was differing behavior, that's likely a bug in the prior behavior (versions prior to 124).

      So was accidently realeased see URL
      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel#version-1240247867-april-26-2024
      This cant be called a "Wont Fix" since Microsoft just reverted

        Yeah if someone wants to bump that bug on Chromium feel free but I suspect they won't change anything from past experiences
