Please don't post links that download things automatically.

Your browser auto-downloaded it. The website just said it's available.

No, that doesn't normally happen. The link doesn't point to an executable. So the linked webpage caused the browser to download. At least there should be a warning.

uBlock stopped the auto download for me I think

I use uBlock and got the download.
