I think that offering a save dialogue is the norm. Netsurf processes JPEG, GIF and PNG files itself, plus html and text of course, so there's no need to save them. > And why does the PDF link cause BOTH the download dialogue AND a blank > web page to appear? It doesn't unless there's a target="_new" argument or equivalent and you've got "Allow links to open in new windows" ticked in Choices > Content. BUT It's different if you click on an html link in Messenger Pro. In that case NetSurf always opens a new window and then decides what to do. I raised a feature request about this ages ago, but to no avail.
