[🐛 Bug]: Java Selenium - I cannot disable "Save as" pop up download in incognito mode - Selenium 4.25.0

[SeleniumNinja]

What happened?

The following code still shows "Save as" pop up in incognito mode.

HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<>();
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadDir); 
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false);
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
chromePrefs.put("profile.content_settings.exceptions.automatic_downloads.*.setting", 2);
chromePrefs.put("safebrowsing.disable_download_protection", true);
chromePrefs.put("profile.managed_default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.automatic_downloads", 1);

ChromeOptions options = New ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("disable-features=DownloadBubble,DownloadBubbleV2");
options.addArguments("disable-features=DownloadUI");
options.addArguments("--safebrowsing-disable-download-protection");

options.setExperimentalOption("prefs" chromePrefs);

options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
options.addArguments("--incognito");
options.addArguments("--disable-search-engine-choice-screen");

How can we reproduce the issue?

I am using Selenium 4.25.0 and Chrome 129.
