Brave blocks downloads of rpm files with safe browsing DISABLED (NONE)


Brave blocks download of rpm files on linux (fedora 38) with Safe Browsing set to “No Protection”:
How can this issue be reproduced?

1.Start Brave
2.Visit https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2135327
3.Click Download (on the src) link

Expected result:
File downloads
Brave Version( check About Brave):
v1.50.125
Additional Information:
Safe Browsing is disabled. No filtering of downloads should happen.

This appears to be originating with Chromium. Verified same behavior on Chromium 112. (Although, you should also be getting an offer to ‘Keep’ the file, are you not seeing that?)

This is a little old but this might describe the behavior: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=76803
