user request
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200965



--- Description ---
Chromium downloads a blob related to the hotword module without user request.
This bug was already reported here
(https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=491435). 

The symptoms are obtained with the following version of chromium (default
options) :
chromium-43.0.2357.125
Name	       : chromium
Version        : 43.0.2357.125

At first launch, files are automatically downloaded as shown by the following
output (just after a rm -Rf .config/chromium):

$ ls -l

A commit was done
(https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/f269d3b548203e217e8c0080c

to make a flag available in order to disable this downloading. The flag seems
not to be available yet with the port version of chromium. 

Would it be possible to make it available ? 

Thank you.
