I think it does that on every browser doesn't it ? it prevents accidental downloads and this way you can name the file you are downloading so you know what you downloaded later on

@Emperor, as @Habsfan mentioned, I also think that it does do it for every browser, Samsung Internet browser will show that popup and allow you to rename it, Chrome shows a popup at the bottom to confirm the download. It those popups weren't there, then you could potentially download malware or spyware on your phone without knowing, also it could cause you to use up your monthly data without knowing.

I believe it was there before, I don't think it gave you the option to rename the file before but there was always a confirmation when downloading a file.
