Description

The download links here:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/

have no direct links to each of the downloaders. If I have an application and I want to direct people to the download page to a specific installer I can't find a link to do that - users have to choose from the list of installer (which is a crappy page that you have to scroll to get to what you need with no explanations).

The second page (the download and accept page is fine, but you can't link to that because apparently the links are script driven.

Please provide direct links so an application can directly link to one of these downloaders that we want users to install!

If not that then at least make the landing page cleaner and make the links show above the fold.
