Context: stockcharts updated their interface. Its arguably a net positive, but one thing was a major issue.
Issue: old interface, right click, select ‘save image as’.
A box would appear, you’d name the chart, and save.
New interface… right click, select ‘download chart image’.
… the chart would automatically save image to desktop.
I understand some don’t care, but for someone who wants to quickly name a chart, and then export elsewhere (without leaving the browser window), it was extremely annoying.

SOLUTION…
In browser settings…
Ensure ‘save files’ to *wherever you want
TICK for ‘always ask you where to save files’.
Now… user gets to choose name of chart, before its saved.
*Yes, this is for ‘Waterfox browser’, but all other browsers should have a similar setting.

I understand some might see this as a minor thing, but for some (yours truly included), we’re talking about THOUSANDS of extra mouse clicks per month.
As someone with borderline RSI, I aim to minimise typing/clicking.
