You're right, there is no point in arguing this. You gave an example of a file that was "impossible" to download with Edge and I told you how to do it. If you really need to type in the URL yourself, just type in into Notepad's open file dialog and save it from there.
It doesn't seem to be possible to download a file you already have open in Edge that you have no link to, but how often does that happen, really? I'm sure you can come up with lots of other scenarios that you can't do with Edge either, or Chrome.
- BugsJustFindMe 10y ago> You gave an example of a file that was "impossible" to download with Edge and I told you how to do it. You told how to download something referenced by a hyperlink within the browser, a problem that I did not say I had. We call that moving the goalposts. It's very frustrating and I wish you would stop. > If you really need to type in the URL yourself, just type in into Notepad's open file dialog and save it from there. I 100% agree that the solution to a web browser not being able to do the 2nd most important function of a web browser is to use a different program. Suggesting Notepad instead of a more capable browser seems a tad strange though. > but how often does that happen, really? Why bend so far backwards to try to poke holes in my problem? Are you responsible for the decision to disallow saving documents? If I don't use Edge does your favorite nephew lose a toe? If you want to use Edge that's fine. Knock yourself out. I won't, and I gave my reason why.
- scholia 10y agoLack of save in Edge seems especially bizarre in view of IE's past. There were years when I used copy URLs from another browser to IE just to save them in mhtml (before extensions provided that on other browsers).
