In order to fix #1897 ("Personalize your web experience" notification appears when running on Edge), I set Edge to always use --guest mode: #1897 (comment)

Edge Guest Mode doesn't allow changing the default download location. However, since extensions don't work in Guest Mode, I added a way to bypass Guest Mode and use normal mode: Add --disable-csp / disable_csp=True, which will use normal mode, and then files will be correctly saved to the ./downloaded_files/ folder.
