How to disable Chrome download blocking feature?

Here is how I did:

  1. Go to chrome://settings or just click on the settings icon on the dashboard.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the settings page and click on Show advanced settings
  3. Under advanced settings, find the subsection called Privacy and Security. Then look turn off the option Protect you and your device from dangerous sites.

=> You can now download anything from Internet AT YOUR OWN RISK !

=> You can turn back on the option.

Just a workaround per file...: Hit CTRL+J and per downloaded file you can indicate if you want to keep it anyway (or not..). I know that's a workaround, but it's at least more safe than turning off protection.
