![]() ![]() There isn't much of a point in switching back and forth between browsers. But if I'm going to have to keep using Firefox for any and all downloading anyway, I might as well use it for everything else. I'd heard so many good things about Chrome that I decided to try it. Maybe you don't extract all zip files and so don't need to have them all opened in a zip program right away, but I do. While downloading, click on the options on the right side of the zip file, which is being downloaded, and you see something like, always open when done, which. I want a certain file type to always be opened directly into their corresponding program. And I'm not choosing a program with witch to open a file based on how the file was downloaded. Just because you, personally, do not use a feature of a browser does not mean that feature isn't essential for other people. It's all quick and easy and takes way fewer steps and is a major time saver when downloading multiple zip files. When I click on a zip file it is automatically opened in my zip program instead of saving it so I can just extract the files in it to where I want it without having to save, find, open, extract, delete. When opening a file, I'm going to choose the program based on the type of file it is, not how it was downloaded.įirefox has a similar thing to Edge in this case. Personally I don't see why a browser should have a setting to open a file in a certain program. Great for files you're only going to use one time then delete, like software installers, compressed ZIPs, etc. It still just hands off to the OS to determine how to open the file though. 7zip would have also offered to do this for you during install.Įdge (which is also Chrome based and can use all the same extensions as Chrome) does have an additional option to OPEN the download, which downloads it to a temp folder only, opens it, and later deletes the download automatically when not in use. If you want your ZIPs to automatically open with 7zip then go to your OS settings and change the file associations there. Same as if you just opened the folder and double clicked the file to open it. It just downloads it to your location of choice then hands off to the OS to determine how to open the file. Chrome does not natively have any way to pick a program to open a download with. ![]()
