I will write an unpopular statement:
I use Microsoft edge even on Linux because it's the only browser that has an option to save temporary downloads in /tmp instead of littering /downloads with unwanted trash. I open 100s of PDFs every day and the behavior of every browser to save in downloads without my consent is infuriating. Firefox allowed this but then they really had to copy the behavior of Google chrome. Reverting to the old behavior requires too many hacks, it's easier to uninstall and use Edge
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 forever™.
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
Yes but it's an hassle that can be avoided. The reason I stopped using chrome in 2008 was exactly this style of download. If Firefox has the same behavior of Chrome, then I don't like it anymore
Just change the default... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/where-find-and-manage-downloaded-files-firefox#w_change-where-downloads-are-saved
I have ten devices, I need to set this workaround on each of them. On edge the clearly labeled setting is automatically synced everywhere
I was explaining to someone in another thread that the only browser that works with the site I have to use for work is Chrome. I can't help it if the Indian contractors made it Chrome-only somehow. I can't use any other browser. Sometimes you're stuck with the shitty option.
Contractually they can't fire you for refusing to give up your human rights. Yes, privacy is a human right.
Yeah, okay, you get me a lawyer that will do that case pro-bono. I'm sure going to need it to be pro-bono since I won't have a job.
So if I do, then what? What's your next argument?
How about you do that first and we'll cross the next bridge when we come to it. Good luck. I'm counting on you.
Bet.
lol yes they can. Your employer can make you use whatever software they want, and can and do monitor everything you do on their network.
There is no expectation of privacy when you’re using their hardware or network.
That's a very bold and not entirely true statement. But alright, have at it.
If your employer gives you a laptop for work, they can lock it down to whatever the hell they want. Standard practice is to give regular users no elevated privileges at all, so you couldn’t install anything that isn’t already installed. Most companies don’t even let users edit the internet options so you can’t even change your default search engine.
