I am not satisfied by updating my Microsoft Edge browser.

New version of Edge doesn't allow user to open the file without downloading it.

Every time I need to delete the file which is of no use.

Earlier we had an option to open the file without downloading it.

Currently browser is asking it where to store it, looks like it is dictating us and seems un-friendly.

If this is not sorted out, we may have to change other browser as default browser and dump Microsoft Edge.

This is a joke. I open tens of files a day which I need to view but not save. In a couple of weeks I am going to have hundreds of files in my downloads folder with meaningless names that I don't need. So now I'm either going to have let them accumulate or clear out my downloads folder every day. Also the few files I genuinely want to save will need to be manually renamed and moved to another folder using windows explorer - that is assuming I can find them in amongst all the junk in the downloads folder I don't need. Can I uninstall Edge and go back to the old version? It's either that or switch to Chrome. Even IE11 would be a better option.
