Actually, I forgot to include this initially, but before I initially granted the permission I could actually see a native OS filepicker window to save the file come up - it looks like the fact that the window is closed too quickly to react normally (since I never confirmed the filename inside of the native OS save picker), it will continue saving with an auto-generated name.

hi! and thanks @5HT2 sounds like you should be (like you are almost) part of our list of contributors

It looks like this bug in Chrome is relevant: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40258993

Archived bug with a better explanation: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40453079

It has to do with multiple extensions having event listeners attached to chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename.addListenerchrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename.addListener.

I would suggest maybe we can try disabling saveAs and just let it save in the default Downloads folder without prompt?
