Feature suggestion: Add clicked downloads to browser's history
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:17 pm
I think it's very convenient that, when downloading without FDM, the URLs to downloaded files are usually included in the browser's history, so that I can see which files or builds I downloaded last time I visited a page.
When downloading with the FDM extension enabled, it completely prevents those URLs from being added to the browser's history. FDM has been a mostly intuitive experience so far, but I think this one thing is really missing.
I'd like to suggest an optional setting that lets the browser (or makes the FDM extension) add URLs of clicked downloads to the browser's history (even when they're subsequently downloaded with FDM).
(When I say "browser", I mean Firefox, but this suggestion may apply to other browsers as well.)
