Currently I'm using <a download> to cross-origin download a video from a url. The file can be successfully downloaded, however I cannot see the progress bar that pops up after a normal download process. Is there a way to show the chrome progress bar while the file is downloading? For the reference, the code I'm using is the one below from the accepted answer here: cross-origin download issue The video link is also the one used in the accepted answer.
I have checked the developer tools and found out that the blob function is taking a long time to run. I have tried downloading a large video file and most of the time is spent on blobing the video link. Is it possible to show the progress bar once the blob starts?
