In most browsers, clicking links with the Alt key has a special behavior, for example, Chrome
downloads the target resource. As with other modifier keys, the router should stop the original
navigation to avoid preventing the browser’s default behavior.
When users click a link while holding the Alt key together, the browsers behave as follows.
Windows 10:
| Browser | Behavior |
|:-----------|:--------------------------------------------|
| Chrome 84 | Download the target resource |
| Firefox 79 | Prevent navigation and therefore do nothing |
| Edge 84 | Download the target resource |
| IE 11 | No impact |
macOS Catalina:
| Browser | Behavior |
|:-----------|:--------------------------------------------|
| Chrome 84 | Download the target resource |
| Firefox 79 | Prevent navigation and therefore do nothing |
| Safari 13 | Download the target resource |
