April 25, A save or discard prompt is displayed giving you the option to either save the file to the local hard drive or discard the download. It still means that you need to move the mouse down to the prompt to select an option.
Is there a way to get rid of the message? Yes and no. There is no switch to disable the confirmation prompt completely and retain the auto downloading functionality.
The only option that users have is to enable the option to ask where to save each file before downloading.
It is not an ideal solution because it will spawn the download window on every download. The window offers an advantage to the user. Instead of having to move the mouse to the Save or Discard prompt it is possible to complete the download by pressing enter on the keyboard, providing the right directory is displayed on screen.
There you have it. You either have the option to live with the "harm your computer" message or switch to the ask before download option to replace it with a download window. I have not tested a third alternative: Download Managers.
These programs should theoretically be able to intercept the downloads so that the files are downloaded automatic and without spawning the safety popup. Update : Google has modified the message and options that users have in recent versions of Chrome. You now see a message like the following instead:. Only the discard button is displayed, and when you click on that, you remove the downloaded file from your computer so that it is no longer available.
Since you wanted to download the file in first place, you are probably more interested in keeping the download. For that, you need to click on the small arrow icon on the right of the discard button to display the Keep option. Select Keep and the download will be saved. NONE of these files are going to harm my computer. Maybe for the novice user. I download hundreds of pdfs from trusted academic sites.
Chrome needs to give the advanced users the flexibility to get rid of this. This is the single issue I have with Chrome. There is no way so far. When you use Download Managers, they will take care of the download. A good thing is that the file is being downloaded while you decided whether to save or discard…. FWIW there is an issue open on i think chromium.
Since the first release of Chrome, there is a issue open completely dedicated to the customization of the download shelf… No one for google ever responded.. Look at it here.
The new UI is awful. First I assumed Discard, was discarding the annoying message, not the file. Keeping the file is now difficult. Also how can a developer be added to the Google list of safe files? Google are incredibly frustrating. Get used to it! They make Microsoft seem responsive by comparison. This is very frustrating. Especially when you are trying to deliver a piece of content that someone has subscribed to receive.
As an internet marketer and webmaster this can really be hard to deal with, but there is really no good alternative for those who use Google Chrome so I guess we are just going to have to deal with it for now. I could not find the file anywhere, and the download page said I got to wait 30 minutes to start another download. Nice one indeed. There is one possible sollution and one where Google will listen too if followed enough. Use another browser.
Hi there, for all Linux users, there is a very easy way to get rid of this. I removed the code here because the comment section is not very user friendly. It is explained how to put it in your crontab at superuser. I hope I help someone with it! I am more productive through it because I happen to open many in my case pdf files every day. I found a way to fix that problem.
I had recently re-installed windows vista to clean all the virus i had and then i kept getting that same pop up every time i tried to install anything like vlc player, itunes, etc.
