"This type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" - No "Keep" option? macOS HS

I have encountered the usual Chrome "feature" of displaying "this type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" when trying to download a file from a filehosting website.

However, when the warning appears there is only ever a "discard" button and not one to "keep" the file as I have seen when using Windows...

Can anybody suggest anything?

Going to the downloads list (Command+Shift+J) shows you the Keep option.

Downlaods list

@DickKennedy Helped resolve my woes with a workaround for this by going to Chrome settings and enabling the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading" in the downloads section.

This isn't a fix, but it certainly gets the job done!

Yes - super annoying issue. Luckily a small work-around that works is going to Window -> Downloads and clicking on "Keep" there.
