Brave Browser No Longer Saving Last Directory Downloaded To

Description of the issue: Brave no saves the last directory you downloaded to, each time it now resets to the download directory. If I had 40 pictures I needed to download and save them I have to use the file explorer each time and browse to the directory I want to save to.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): Download a file, and save it somewhere else other than DOWNLOADS. Download something again, and it won’t remember the last directory you saved top. I was asking ChatGPT for help troubleshooting this issue, but it reports that it is expected behavior with a recent chromium change. Can you confirm, or is ChatGPT hallucinating? Conversation is attached.

Reproduces how often: Every save.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

Windows 11 Home 25H2

Brave 1.86.142 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 144.0.7559.97
