Chrome Version 111.0.5563.65 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Example -
Sample data: http://py4e-data.dr-chuck.net/regex_sum_42.txt (There are 90 values with a sum=445833)
Actual data: http://py4e-data.dr-chuck.net/regex_sum_1089727.txt (There are 92 values and the sum ends with 895)
The 2 links, lines 90 & 92 have a deHttps(). In this case Chrome does,
(filename) can't be downloaded securely [Discard] button. Click on the '^' and select 'Keep' to download file. Otherwise clicking link opens as text (in browser) and relies on a good copy / paste into a new file or Save Link As, Save.
Instead of editing instructions, it is easier to use https:// URLs
Basically same in Firefox 111.0 x64, 'File not downloaded potential security risk', click '>' then 'Allow download'.
Edge, same Version 111.0.1661.41. Save link as, Save, click '...' , Keep, Keep anyway.
