My second workaround of re-transferring the file using the document URL directly, again with injecting a hidden automatically clicked tag, also only partially works. My first workaround of creating an invisible objectURL download link from the document body text (trying to not re-download the file) and then programatically clicking it only partially works, because Edge currently ignores the download attribute value on links so you can't set the default file name and you get a disgusting GUID as the default filename instead. MsSaveOrOpenBlob currently silently fails in Edge extension content scripts. So I just spent the past few hours learning how and then trying. I use Tampermonkey for some userscripts on other sites and I don't feel comfortable relying on Microsoft's goodwill to not remove this extension. For now, it's useless without Microsoft approval.
I'll give Edge another chance if/when they open up their extension platform to everyone. This is why I'm still not switching to Edge.
When it comes to browsers, I prefer freedom over performance and efficiency. There is already a very simple userscript available that you can install right now to get this "banned" functionality in Edge.Įdge's extension ecosystem is a walled garden. If I make a Bing2Google userscript for Tampermonkey, Microsoft will probably take down Tampermonkey eventually once they learn about the userscript. Now that Edge supports extensions, I can make a Bing2Google extension for Edge, but Microsoft will never accept it. Someone made a Bing2Google extension for Chrome, and Microsoft responded by making Cortana only open Bing searches in Edge. It wouldn't surprise me if there is an internal conflict at Microsoft about allowing Edge extensions.īack when Windows 10 came out, Cortana opened Bing searches in your default browser.
