好用！牛逼！

Doesn't work at all. The 'Downloads' tab shows the items downloaded in a list but only has a delete button for each item. Nothing in my downloads folder. Turned on the 'save as' dialog, but nothing pops up when downloading to specify where to save it. Seems like there's a button next to 'delete' that's partially visible but can't see what it says and clicking it does nothing. Tried the 'report a bug' button but clicking that also does nothing.

Doesn't save downloaded files at all. Nothing happens when you press "save" button. Only takes more and more space in Edge temp folder.
