  • I get what they are trying to say, but I definitely don’t want my browser to just facilitate me raw-dogging the internet. I had to use someone else’s computer at work the other day, and they don’t have any ad block and have apparently clicked “yes” to every dialog box for years. It was a fucking nightmare. Every web page was so full of ads, pop-ups, notifications, banners, auto-playing videos, etc. Jesus christ, I just needed to check the weather on a local news website and the internet skull-fucked me until I had ocular hepatitis. Decided the safest course of action was to just stand outside and look for tornadoes myself.

    Unless you are specifying a custom filepath for each file, in which case, carry on.

    This one is correct. I always setup my browser to ask where to put each download, and then send it to the file it needs to live in. Usually have the “default” be the home folder so I can easily browse to the subsequent folder quickly. The browser doesn’t just get to decide where to put stuff or it would all be a mess eventually anyway.
