Setting to make unknown/uncommon software download warnings less intrusive

[MulverineX]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment the browser behaves as if you downloaded the file on accident, when in reality, especially on an enthusiast browser like Thorium, if a power user downloads something, they meant to, and they intend on using it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of having to click to have the file be made available, there should be a setting to disable this behavior and simply show a warning icon, perhaps clicking on the warning will help automatically upload the file to virustotal.

I agree, it's annoying me too

@MulverineX @krystejj It's f***ing annoying to me too. I already add the disable quarantine patch from ungoogled, but it seems there is still something else that needs to be done to make it go away. In any case I would put it behind a flag so that "average" users don't start downloading malware and blaming me lol.

Tentatively scheduled for M120 release, but this is assuming I can actually work up a fix for it.

That's awesome. I hope you can get it to work.

@MulverineX @krystejj Fixed. I added a flag called chrome://flags#allow-insecure-downloads

This also has the side effect of allowing downloads over http:// and ftp://.

When the flag is enabled, it simply treats ALL files as safe, so use this flag with care.

Awaiting resolution of #564 to test

@Alex313031 it appears this didn't work

Also, I think we'd all prefer that "mixed origin/cross-origin schemes" and http downloads were still blocked. Additionally, virus scanning should still occur as well. Ideally, Thorium would have a custom flag that specifically disables just the "uncommon/unknown" software warning, as this is what most people end up butting heads with, not the rest of the security features.
