Download blob files via Trusted Sites

Question

We are trying to allow downloads of blob objects (documents). We have implemented the trusted sites steps documented for IE here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/askie/how-to-enable-blob-downloads-in-ie-through-in-trusted-sites

And it works for IE, but in Edge (latest version) we cannot download the documents, no matter what we do. Anyone know anything to do?

Edge Chromium doesn't have security zone settings, so it is reasonable the steps in the article doesn't work for Edge.

If you want to configure Edge settings indeed you need to configure it through GPO. Please check this policy: DownloadRestrictions. It configures the type of downloads that Microsoft Edge completely blocks, without letting users override the security decision.

I ask you to use F12 because I want to know what error it shows when it doesn't work in Edge. Edge doesn't support msSaveBlob method so if the download page uses this method to download blob file, it will never work in Edge and Chrome.
