Description

We may use (File System API)[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API] for saving files on the local machine without a new tab being opened for short time. Unfortunately, it is not available yet for Firefox and Safari. Under Chrome even the current approach works well.

See also #410.

Research direction

Start by reading the File System API reference and the related issue #410; the payload does not identify a repository, file, entry point, or test. Done would need to define how local saving should work without briefly opening a new tab and how unsupported Firefox and Safari cases are handled.
