I wouldn’t make this a post simply claiming how Chrome beats over all other browsers I’ve used, cause it doesn’t do that entirely. Surely not the Chromium Linux build I use on a daily basis. But what I really loved in it is something that (I think) was derived from its OS-like architecture concept.

I download several files of the same type and the downloaded filenames aren’t quite the format I like them to be in (Say I want mm-dd-yy while its received as mm_dd_yy, my naming braincells are nitpicky just like yours). The great feature of Chromium is that it keeps track of the file even when under download. That’s to say you can move it around from folder to folder, rename it as you desire and it simply won’t complain, even when it is downloading that file. This is a great use-case for me, I start all these downloads and run my renaming script in the main directory of my download after I’m done clicking download for each of the needed file, every week. I later use these files from their proper directories as my script skillfully places them. Wishing Firefox could do this too someday (Or if it has done, I don’t know — I stopped using it on March 13th 2010).
