I am not doubting your claim that Firefox follows closely what Chrome does but can you give a few examples? I would really like to know. Also which Firefox fork do you recommend? I am looking for a new browser that is similar to FF for my win7 machine.
What if you copy the hotlink and paste it in a new tab? I never encountered this, so I had no need to try it, but I guess it should work. Garbage like this is why I use Pale Moon.
That garbage from pale goons that keep spinning years old unsecure moozilla code might not track but deliver a nice malware bundled into their pale web browser straight from their compromised windoze servers they cannot secure by themselves.
You should clarify the wording in your article. That is NOT the case, and an important point to make. Chrome keeps getting worse every version.
I went to T-Mobile last night. Tried to refill my Pay-As-You-Go account. Chrome does allow me to login. But then when I submit my refill, nothing happens. No notification of any kind. Who knows? Then I tried to save the page showing my planned submission. This is ridiculous. Whoever is designing these browsers and Web sites like T-Mobile are complete and utter morons.
Maybe some problem of non security content? Blocking of download is not a good idea , it may affect google badly. People want to download many things from the internet stopping them from doing that may harm the google badly, people easily switch to other browsers. Version The tab opens with your file name in the URL but nothing happens. Works fine in FireFox, Brave and believe it or not Edge.
On my Windows 7 SP1 x64 machine, I have FireFox as my preferred browser, when Chrome opens the new tab, it hangs on a white screen for a bit, after about 10 seconds, Windows prompted FireFox to open and up came the option to download, I had to click a link to open File Manager to download the file and it worked. I just spent an hour on the phone with a customer trying to download critical vaccination information from the Government of Canada website because when she clicked the link, it just did nothing.
Yet worked on all her other devices Apple. So no error, no indication to a regular user that it is blocked. Just silently failing. Way to go, Google. Once again you are using your monopoly to dictate how you believe the Web should work. How much more time will be wasted? This is just stupid and may make me leave Chrome. ANY user feedback would have been nice. When I click a download button or right click and get no response other than a quick screen flicker … I lose my mind.
I hammered on the download button about a dozen times. I ended up uninstalling all of my AV and malware protection software. I was ready to reinstall Windows 10, but tried Edge as a last-ditch attempt and it worked.
I put myself in more danger by disabling my security settings and software than I would have by downloading a bad file. I do know if I use Download Manager, I can get those files in a useable and complete download. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Continuing to drop flame retardant on the dumpster fire that is web security, Google on Thursday said it will soon prevent Chrome users from downloading files over insecure, plain old, unencrypted HTTP.
That's weird! Users expect that what they do on secure pages to be So we're blocking these downloads first. Specifically, Google is going after mixed content , resources like files, images, and scripts that get loaded over insecure HTTP connections from a webpage that has been served over a secure HTTPS link. In April, , when Chrome 82 arrives, Chrome users will see a warning when trying to download executable files e.
In Chrome 83, due in June, users will be prevented from downloading such files at all. The warning notice meanwhile will shift to the attempted download of insecure archive files e. Come Chrome 84, in August, insecure executables and archives get blocked by default and other types of insecurely served files will prompt download warnings e.
And by Chrome 85, out in September, the mixed content warning will shift to images, audio, video, and text e. With Chrome 86, in October , the warnings will be gone and Chrome will refuse to download any mixed content.
For Android and iOS, the schedule will be delayed by one release cycle. When Google initially discussed its plans to have Chrome intervene to save people from their disinterest in online security, the company said that "users will be able to enable a setting to opt out of mixed content blocking on particular websites. Google's latest post on the subject however makes no mention of the general public: "Enterprise and education customers can disable blocking on a per-site basis via the existing InsecureContentAllowedForUrls policy by adding a pattern matching the page requesting the download.
But The Register understands that the Chrome-using hoi polloi will be allowed to override Google oversight. Mixed download blocking will be managed like other mixed content, so users will be able to click on the lock icon in the browser omnibox and then select Site Settings to change the setting for "Insecure content" to "Allow.
Even so, it's clear that Google expects some site breakage.
