Hello, I would like to request that “ask” be the default for automatic downloads. I appreciate the security benefits of their being blocked by default, however several times now I have had a situation where I signed up for a free or trial membership to a site offering downloadable assets (images, sounds, etc.) with a limited number of downloads for free users. The problem is that attempted downloads still register as downloads and thus use up finite credits even when Brave blocks them. It also would be nice to have blocked downloads (and an option to allow them to proceed, ideally without re-submitting the request(? not a tech person)) appear in the “downloads” list. Thanks for considering!
