Help Settings are ignored

Some of my settings are being ignored. For example, Simplified view for web pages is unchecked, yet when I'm on a site, like IMDb, that supports simplified viewing, the prompt comes up asking if I want to view the simplified version. Why, NO, actually, I don't--that's why I disabled it in settings! Ugh.

Under Downloads, there's Ask where to save files, which I have set to 'on.' But I'm NEVER prompted for a destination directory. Its downloads arbitrarily go into /storage/emulated/0/Download. Ugh.
