Second try: pushed version 4.5.0 to CWS now with throwaway pattern tests on correct domains
For anyone downloading at Level 4, we recommend that you first:
P.S.
I now see that 3PM is at version 4.5.1.
- agree to the download (at this level, all downloads are blocked
), which will open in a new window - then proceed with the download
P.S.
I now see that 3PM is at version 4.5.1.

What is your Startup Level?
I use Level 2.
But on some domains that are subject to higher “risk”,for example, GitHub, where I also download various files,I use Level 4.
It would also be interesting to share the active protections.

I use startup level 3, somehow seems to work the best for me so far.
Startup level 3 with restricted number of safer region TLDs.
20 of 21 protections enabled (nr. 21 not checked).
For random browsing on unknown sites I use level 4.
All options used. Silent when probably safe down to 30%.

I have enabled,I believe permanently, since I finished analyzing all 21 of them in detail this morning,these Protections, which are sufficient for my needs:

I had an interesting issue today within Vivaldi, and although it is not your fault, I thought it was interesting to show, nonetheless.
The second window mentioned looked like this...
After doing some of what Bot mentioned, I found out that rule 21 from 3P-matrix was causing the issue for me in Vivaldi.
It is solved now, but I thought you would want to know about it atleast.
My current version of Vivaldi.

Right here.
Vivaldi Browser | Krachtige, persoonlijke en privéwebbrowser
Het is een webbrowser. Maar leuk. Het wordt geleverd met een aantal slimme functies ingebouwd. Het is super flexibel en volgt je niet. Download de Vivaldi-browser voor desktop, mobiel en je auto!
vivaldi.com
I forgot to mention something else I found out while I had issues with Vivaldi and 3P-Matrix. For a while now I was wondering why the download protection from Download Sentinel was not showing, and now the version in 3P-Matrix never showed a pop-up. (Not even by chance.) But when I had deactivated all extensions and found the issue, I thought I had reactivated all extensions. Well, that turned out to be wrong. I forgot to reactivate the extension for the download manager I use. So when I downloaded something, the download protection popped up?
And since I did not see the download pop-up from my download manager, I realised I had to activate the extension again. After that I tried to download the same archive from before again, and this time I did not get the Download Protection screen? I tried it a few more times, and every time the extension from the download manager was disabled... the protection worked, but while the extension is active, it does not. At least not in my testing so far. So somehow the download manager interferes with the download protection from 3P-matrix. I guess that is the nature of the beast called Download Manager.
I tried both the old download manager I used and the new one I use... and both gave me the same result. In case someone wants to try it themselves...
The old Download Manager I used:
- Neat Download Manager for Mac and Windows (Free Internet Download Manager Mac & Windows )
- The extension: NeatDownloadManager Extension - Chrome Web Store
Now I am trying this one:
- FluxDown — The Download Manager, Rebuilt in Rust
- The extension: FluxDown - Chrome Web Store
EDIT: Hmm, it looks that it does work on Github though.

Ah, I see. So the download protection still does nothing when using a download manager like the ones I mentioned. I guess it could be because download managers grab the download in a different way than my browser itself does.
3PM like DS uses a Chrome trigger on-download. My guess is that the download manager intercepts it like you thought.
Question: I never used a download manager. What is their function?

Never used a download manager and will not, security pupose!!!
Pros :
Faster downloads: It can split a file into several parts and download them simultaneously to make better use of the available bandwidth.
Users can pause a download and resume it later without starting again from the beginning (if the server allows it).
Automatically organizes downloaded files into categories (videos, documents, software, music, etc.).
Allows users to download several files at the same time.
Makes it possible to schedule downloads for a specific time.
Can automatically resume downloads after an Internet connection failure or a temporary error.
Displays download speed, remaining time, and progress.
Some download managers can detect and collect multiple download links.
Cons :
It may use RAM, CPU power, and Internet bandwidth.
Some malicious programs disguise themselves as download managers.
Some free versions display advertisements or suggest installing additional software
Some websites do not support external download managers.
Download speed depends on the Internet connection and the server's limitations.
Some programs require specific settings or browser extensions.
Long downloads may increase electricity consumption, especially on laptops.

It helps with faster/better downloads, and it helps me in keeping downloads organised. Both managers I mentioned can make folders for things you download. Like when you have that option active in FluxDown, and then download an exe file with it for the first time, it will then auto-create the folder "Programs", and from that moment on it will download all exe files to that folder. It will do the same for other file types. And Neat Download Manager has the same option for it.
@70z-64
I have yet to see a problem with FluxDown or adds off any kind. It is free and quite customisable. (Very low resource use by it, in my opinion.
And you are right, some websites do not allow it, and yes, the two above require an extension. And again, you are correct that it might not be a good idea for a laptop. Download speed depends on the Internet connection and the server's limitations, and that is exactly why I use one. It will use many different threads, which can decrease the download time as such.

It is already active for a very long time. When I want to download something from, for instance, nexusmods.com, parallel downloading helps but not enough.
@Morro
Maybe use your download manager on-demand? I have no idea whether this would work, but try enabling the flag #extensions-menu-access-control and set your download manager to always ask (access to websites)?

What is the security benefit of using Level 3 when 90%–95% of daily browsing occurs on websites included in the TLD Safe Regions list?
In this specific case, Level 2 is equivalent.
