    There is absolutely an extra click after this change.

     

    Before: Click link > Change folder if needed > Save

    Now: Click link > Click Save As > Change folder if needed > Save

     

    Additionally that extra click happens at the bottom of the screen (whereas the file browse dialog appears in the middle of the screen), so that extra click is probably far from where your mouse cursor was.

Thank you i-am-kent 

They are very helpful features.

I need to add, it would be nice if you add features to automatically remove deleted items.

So let say I download something and then I manually go to the folder and remove it, it still remains under downloads and when I click on it (it shows removed). Expected result would like when user remove it from the folder , then it automatically marked as removed without user clicking on it.

It would be nice to add special icon when file scanned with SmartScreen filter like shield icon indicating it has been scanned and is safe or for some reason scanned failed in addition to add information.

In addition, it would be nice to have Report unsafe or Safe download from this menu too.

    having the ability to report safe or unsafe by the user should notify edge or someone so that when other people try to download it it will a download because it is safe or b not download and notify you that it is unsafe. But if it is unsafe you should also then have the ability to override the unsafe and download it and reclaim that it is now safe.
