Mixed Blend Mode SVGs saved from Web

I have issues opening SVGs with mixed-blend-mode in Illustrator or Photoshop.
They are displayed correctly in the browser and also in Mac's Preview but once I open them in Adobe software, the opacity (coming from mixed blend mode) is gone.
How can I keep the effect when I open the file?

Thanks!

SVGs will always be interpreted. Which means that Illustrator might get it wrong.

You could just open it and then apply Multiply again.

Or try if Inkscape can open it correctly and then export as PDF.
