Please include an option within brave settings to allow the user to freely choose between the classic and much beloved download-bar or the chromium-enforced download bubble.
My reasoning for allowing this is both:
-
to avoid splitting up the community into yet another set of people that want to begin making yet another chromium based browser and taking away precious users from brave
-
the bubble currently breaks my workflow. i made a post about this on the forums in thread 514374, post 21.
to directly quote the post:
[…]
in case anyone from the dev team -still- doesnt know why people dislike not having a disable option. i can only share my own personal workflow:
- click dl, dialog box opens, i hit enter,
- click arrowkeys left/right
- hit enter (which now targets the click dl), dialog box opens, i hit enter
- click arrowkeys left/right
- hit enter (which now targets the click dl), dialog box opens, i hit enter
— suddenly, for no reason at all, the bubble appears… i ignore it because it keeps re-appearing every 5-8 downloaded file anyway (sigh) - click arrow-keys left/right
- hit enter (which now targets the click dl), dialog box opens, i hit enter
— now because of the wonderful and ever helpful download bubble that auto-appeared, i can no longer press neither left/right or hit enter. the bubble has now stolen my keyboard focus from the webpage i was busy working on. wonderful feature. 10/10.
at this point i have to actually grab my mouse to close the bubble because it covers the control area im working on for the website.
yes. let that sink in. the web browser im using to serve me as i work on my website interrupts and hide the content im working on to such an extent that it forces me to disengage from work every 10-15 seconds, to interact with the browser ui, at no will of my own. this certainly cannot have been part of the dream the developers had when joining the project.
