@justsomeone1 nice suggestion, but won’t help. The same behavior goes for Chrome and Firefox. At least I think it’s an Apple thing. The only browser that is able to download content created directly on a website or using an HTML5-webapp is Safari.
The ability to download is given. But this goes only for static files. I play bass-guitar and frequently download tutorials as PDF-files, those files will download. My ISP for example generates a PDF of my invoice on demand, when visiting the website. Chrome, Brave, Firefox are unable to simply download those files. In the description I mentioned photopea.com, that is a HTML5 Photo-editor that does it’s work in the browser. Only Safari is able to download the results.
Edit: photopea won’t work in Brave with shields activated, so my try was done with shields down.
thanks for the info but since you mentioned that it does not work for chrome which brave is build based on it then as you suggest it could be related to apple thing
but let me ask someone from the team @Mattches@michal to help you if they know any other way arround that
please notice it still weekend so it will take time till you get a response
@justsomeone1 thanks for the feedback. I also think it’s an Apple thing. The only entry in the settings that goes for downloads is in the Safari settings. Brave, Firefox and Chrome don’t have a setting like this. Not in the iOS-settings nor in the browser-settings.
@Mattches thanks for the reply and further investigation. At least Apple may argue this limitation is a security-thing but why do they offer to change the default browser but limit its permissions?
