Add an option to have it prompt for a download location

Alright, update and tell me if that worked for you.

This is also just a Chrome/Firefox setting:

Does v1.7.6 force a location picker window on Chrome? Seems to work as I would hope on Firefox (i.e. respects the settings option to either show picker or download to specified directory) but that may just be because showSaveFilePicker() is only supported on Chromium as you noted

Oh, you're right, I didn't even check the Chromium settings first since I just assumed Chrome wanted a different method for calling a download, but I downgraded and tried the prior version (v1.7.5) and it would pop up the download location window if I enable the setting (as show in attached).

I just forced it because I didn't even think to check for the option since I've been using FFx for over a decade. I might keep it this way temporarily so that next update I can add a checkbox to the settings page to toggle force Save As window within the script itself rather than respecting the browser setting.

Is there any way to make this optional or is there a segment of code that I can comment out to make it work like it did before? I actually preferred when it didn't ask every time but I realize this kind of puts you in a spot of potentially just having to pick one or the other

You can downgrade to v1.7.5, this is a busy weekend for me so i haven't found time to add in the functionality I want.

Will do, thank you! Sorry hadn't considered that

There is no way to make a Save-As toggle that works for every browser and both TamperMonkey (without going into advanced settings) and ViolentMonkey (at all). So I'm just ditching it entirely until the method to force it for Chrome is adopted into other browsers. People will have to manage this in their own browser settings from now on.

Thank you, appreciate your work on this extension and sorry for the hassle.
