Yes one can change the file name in Chromium (and Goole Chrome). The problem is,
I am using some application (called `Typora') which is based on Chromium, and it
forces users to use some particular file extension in the file chooser when I try
to export a file within it. I try to export a file as HTML from its editor, but
it force the filename to end with a ".html" suffix.

I have created a issue in its repo on Github[1], but I am not sure whether they
will be interested in looking into it.
