The main difference is that DeDRM doesn't work with the autoadd folder.

If the auto-add triggers during the download before the process is completed, the results were, hmmm..., interesting.
Best to download to another directory and only copy the files to the auto-add folder when the download is completed.

Chromium-based browsers (Chrome obviously, MS Edge, I use Vivaldi myself) create a .crdownload file in the download location, which is then renamed to the proper extension once it finishes. I've found that Calibre tends to work okay with this for the most part. It was messing around with a third-party download manager (downloading a batch of game manuals) that didn't do this that I found the autoadd problem.
