A comment on Redesigning Chrome Downloads.

It may sound stupid but... shouldn't it be "ChromIUM Downloads" ??? AFAIK, Chromium is the "open source" browser developed by Google and Chrome is the Google browser based on Chromium

So, for example... will Edge (chromium based) get this "new" download, because it's based on Chromium ? Or will it be a Google Chrome specific feature ?

It looks like even Google doesn't know anymore what the difference between Chromium and Chrome.

Anyway, I'll stay on firefox :-)

Google copied it from Firefox and called it "Chrome Downloads", so it's only logical that when Microsoft copies it from Chrome, they will call it "Edge Downloads".

Afaik, Edge already has a download manager like this. No idea about the naming though.
