I don't really count integrity as security but most do and I am subscribed to this list so... Before quantum it was fiddly but you could set the download directory but now it appears to no longer work. Firefox apparently aims to be similar on all platforms so why is the download directory menu option missing. The problem which is more important on Android as I doubt space is reserved on phones for wear leveling is that if the filesystem is approaching full then the usual guarantee of more recently 10,000 flash writes could cause issues in irreplaceable long term phone memory. So if a user makes large downloads frequently such as weekly system updates, surely it makes more sense to allow them to wear out the often larger and replaceable SD even if standard SD (contrary to what many believe) has next to no wear leveling features?
