Latest version of Thorium is 128.0.6613.189. I don't use pure Chromium for my privacy conserns. Updated, still have this issue
Also, it happens with latest version of Microsoft Edge

can you try remuxing any file in a pwa to see if it calls the download manager inside the pwa or not?
on a different note, chromium doesn’t have google’s integrations inside, so it’s definitely more privacy respecting than microsoft edge.
