saveAs: false is getting overriden by "PromptForDownloadLocation" browser policy

[Darren]

Hi,

I have an extension which utilises 'saveAs: false' but my browser policy is set to prompt for the download location of all downloads. This obviously means that my extensions attempt to save a file silently, no longer does so - I receive the prompt.

Does anyone know a way around this such as excluding the extension/URL from that specific browser setting or is there a way to make sure that extension isn't affected by a browser policy?

Turning the prompt for download location off completely goes against security best practices and I'd like to avoid this.

Thank you.

Darren

No, that isn't currently possible. You can open a feature request for chrome at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/new?component=1456781&template=0
