Title:
  Automatically switching to downloads page awkward in large layout

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently in small or expanded mode, we automatically switch to the
  Downloads page when requesting to download a file from the browser. We
  should consider changing this behavior, especially on expanded mode,
  the main reason being it's quite disruptive if you want to download a
  file and continue to browse. In expanded mode, all of the tabs get
  obscured by the Downloads header and page and you have to use the back
  arrow to get back to the tabs.

  Couple of possible options:

  1. In expanded mode, don't switch to page but instead show some sort
  of download icon while it's in progress, possibly next to the drawer
  icon or in the tab bar if there is room. Clicking on it would bring
  you to the downloads page. Note there is already a download indicator
  in the top system toolbar but it's not super obvious, especially on a
  large screen. Might be better for app to display it in addition..

  2. Prompt with dialog when downloading, with options to "Automatically
  show Downloads", "Never show Downloads", "Prompt each time.." or
  something along those lines
