@oneninertim,
For what it’s worth, I agree that it’s ridiculous that I can’t control whether or not my browser does this or not. I spent some time looking up the feature and it appears that there used to be a flag that could be disabled that would remove the feature. But that flag, itself, has been removed and anyone reaching out to Google support seems to get their threads closed:

- https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/29361226?hl=en
Just some examples. I’ve reached out to our Android team to see what it might take to implement an option to enable/disable this feature because it’s a security risk (at minimum) imo.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
