Deactivate infuriating download notifications

I read several other topics like this but NONE of them had resolutions. I’m on Brave desktop browser on iOS, and these infuriating download notifications are haunting me. This is an AWFUL bug designed to drive me insane. Has anyone found a way to deactivate them? Can’t find anything on web, on this forum or through AI.
Looks like this has been infuriating users for YEARS?? Why do I need a download confirmation at all? No other browser is slapping me in the face liek this. I want to throw my computer out the window. This is a whole a$$ reason to go back to chrome. I’d rather use Tor than put up with this harassment! This is seriously how angry this makes me.
Sorry guys looks like I can’t attach a screenshot.

Here is the solution from ChatGPT, you have to modify the commands in Terminal EVERY time you launch the app. >:(

This is freaking ridiculous @brave what is the dang problem???

Disable Brave Download Popup on Mac (Workaround)

  1. Quit Brave Completely
    Make sure Brave is fully closed. You can right-click the Brave icon in the Dock and select Quit.
  2. Open Terminal
    Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
  3. Run Brave with Download Bubble Disabled
    In Terminal, type the following command and press Enter:

bash

CopyEdit

/Applications/Brave\ Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave\ Browser --disable-features=DownloadBubble
  1. Pin Brave to Dock (Optional)
    If this works and disables the popup for your session, you’ll need to launch Brave this way each time, or:
  • Create a script or Automator app to simplify launching Brave with this flag.
  • Unfortunately, you cannot permanently modify Brave’s default behavior on Mac without launching it via Terminal or a custom script.
