Safari: in pinned tab, download attribute with data href not working - html

In Safari 11/12, I have an tag with href="data:" and attribute "download" to save the file when the link is clicked.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body>
<a href="data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,Hello" download="hello.txt">
Click me
</a>
</body></html>
This works fine in Chrome and Firefox, and also in an unpinned tab in Safari. Clicking on the link downloads the text "Hello" into a new file called hello.txt. However, in a pinned tab in Safari, the download attribute seems to be ignored and Safari opens the data in a new tab.
To see this you need to serve the above HTML code from a web server. If you just save the file and open it with a "file://" URL, it works as expected.
I have tried using a Blob instead but the behaviour was the same.
I have tried changing the mimeType to "application/octet-stream" which was a suggestion I found to a similar question. This does cause the data to be downloaded, but the filename is always "unknown.txt". This isn't suitable as I need to have control over the filename and extension (it's not hello.txt!)
As an extra note, the behaviour is actually different in Safari 11 and 12 but neither is working properly. In 11, the data is opened in a new tab. In 12, it opens a new tab but shows an error opening the data.
This looks like a bug in Safari to me. Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thanks

It appears it is a well known bug and the download attribute is not yet supported by Safari (webkit).

Google Chrome is not opening local HTML files when I double click to open them

I must have done something to Google Chrome on my Windows.
Local HTML files, even though they are associated with Chrome, do not actually open in Chrome anymore when I double click them. For example, double clicking an HTML file on my desktop will launch Chrome, but the browser window will not display the content of the HTML file.
If I change the program my computer will use to display HTML files to Safari or Firefox, they open as I expect them to, rendering the HTML properly in a browser window.
If, I have a Chrome window open and drag the HTML file into the browser window, it will render the HTML content properly, but the double clicking is the behavior I'm hoping to get back.
Does anyone know why this might have caused this change in Chrome behavior? And best of all, how to fix it?

Base64 PDF not opening on Chromium based browser

I want to display a PDF file encoded in base64 in another tab of the browser when clicking on a link. My problem is that the code works fine in Firefox but is not working on Chromium based browser (tested on Chrome and Edge).
When I say not working, it's not true as it works when you do a right-click and choose the 'open in a new tab'. When simply clicking on the link I have an error message 'Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension.' despite the fact that I have no extension on those browsers.
Can someone explain me why it's not working and how can I make it works
Here is an example

Well I don't know why Stackoverflow keeps on delete my greetings but hello everyone...

Save as process fails in SSRS

I an using Internet Explorer to view and render reports and they work. I then press the Save button and select any of the options and a new tab opens and nothing. I don't get a word document, excel, pdf, csv...nothing...just a blank tab. Any suggestions? It works from Chrome but I really need it to work from IE.
Update:
I have noticed that when the new tab opens in IE there is no &rs:Command=Render at the end of the URL like there is in Chrome.
I modified the process to use a URL with the Format=PDF included and that allows IE to open/save the file as I expect.

Issues on chrome showing an embedded PDF

I have the following code in a html document:
<p>PDF sample</p>
<object data="http://www.whateverdomain.com/whatever/~/media/sample.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>
This is working in IE, Firefox but not in Chrome. Appears a grey box in the browser with no embedded pdf. When I check on "network" tab in chrome I'm receiving a HTTP 200 response but PDF is not shown.
I tried URL encode tilde "~" symbol replacing it by %7e but still its not working on Chrome.
I don't have the possibility of changing the url which is provided by an external service.
Do you have any clue on how to solve ?
You might wish to try and use a simple iframe. At the very least I am pretty sure that works for chrome, might not work for IE though. Another alternative is using the Google Docs viewer, with that you are sure to be cross browser compatible, although some pdf's might not render perfectly. The last option you have is using something like pdf.js to render the pdf's yourself inside the browser. Gives you a lot of control and ensures that even people running computers without a pdf viewer installed (or a native pdf viewer like chrome and firefox) will be able to view the file.

a href issue in chrome

i have a simple web page with a list of links linking to specific pages in a PDF file. This works fine in Firefox, IE 6,7,8,9 but not in chrome?
The code is very simple and works in everything else. In chrome however it just opens the PDf on the first page.
Help please!
Adobe Reader supports #page=X as a postfix to the URL in order to jump to a specific page in a PDF document. Chrome's PDF reader doesn't support this at the moment.
