There is a fact that not only Microsoft Edge but also many other web browsers, including the best web browsers today like Chrome or Firefox, always automatically download when users download files or applications on the web. This makes it difficult for users to quickly store files in a specific storage folder.
To prevent automatic downloads on Microsoft Edge, users will need to enable the feature to ask the user before downloading to easily control which files will be downloaded on their computer.
How to Block Automatic Downloads on Microsoft Edge
Step 2: In the Settings interface, scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced Setting to choose additional settings and improvements.
Step 3: In the Advanced settings section, scroll down and continue to toggle the switch from Off to On to activate the Ask Microsoft Edge what to do with each download option.
This is the customization option that allows Microsoft Edge browser to always prompt for the download location of the file before starting to download it to the computer.
Now Microsoft Edge can complete the request to ask for the download location of the file within the browser.
Typically in this scenario, if you already have a familiar folder to download files, simply click Change in the Download section and select the desired folder for future downloads to avoid having to select the download folder on Microsoft Edge multiple times. Changing the download location in Microsoft Edge is also very useful so you don't have to worry about finding files after downloading them to your computer.
Here Mytour has guided you on how to block automatic downloads on Microsoft Edge. With many new features being added, Microsoft Edge is becoming more refined. Not only does it support additional extension features, but users can also easily create bookmarks on Microsoft Edge and transfer bookmarks from Google Chrome or IE to Microsoft Edge and vice versa. In fact, creating bookmarks on Microsoft Edge will have slightly different display and storage compared to the previous IE, so not many users are familiar with this feature.
Finally, Mytour also once introduced a small trick to speed up Microsoft Edge quite easily by disabling and deactivating flash, especially when many flash contents are truly mundane and hinder user experience.
Wishing you an enjoyable experience with the new features on Microsoft Edge. And if you don't like having to adjust automatic downloads, you can also use Firefox, where this feature is already activated, so you can rest assured that you won't be automatically downloaded on the Firefox browser.
