Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website

Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?

Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.

But you can just change the default download location to /tmp on firefox. Or you can choose ask me every time and set /tmp as your favorites, then you can reach it with a single click.

I don't know if this fits your use case

But it's still a workaround, I have to save it and waiting for the save dialog to appear

It's much easier to just have two buttons, "open" (save in tmp and open) and "save"

On windows, temp doesn't get cleaned automatically at boot, but edge takes care of that and deletes the file when you close it

The ability to pick a temp folder to store your downloads is a feature, not a workaround, and every browser has it since foreverâ„¢.

There's absolutely no way in Elon Musk's xHell or Linus Torvalds kmodHeaven that you choose Edge just because it saves you 2.7s every time you download pepelore compilations in 4k HDR AV1.

My use case is this: opening invoices from the ERM. The web app sends it as a download. I open one every 2 minutes. On edge I have an "open" button that does what it says. On chrome/Firefox/opera/Vivaldi it just downloads and at the end of the month I have the download folder littered with thousands of useless files. Or I need to set it for opening to a dialog for a path that might be preset to a temporary directory (that on windows still must be manually cleaned). The time saving in my use case is a lot and this setting is synced to all my machines, where the temp directory workaround is not and I have to set to each single machine
