I noticed that in new version of Chrome browser (55.x) the audio player (HTML<audio>) has download button. I see this button in Chrome only and I can't find anything about how to turn it off.

Code:

<audio src="audioUrl.mp3" controls=""></audio>

Ideally I'd like to hide this button but if hiding button is not possible I'd like to prevent downloading file when button pressed. I couldn't find any ondownload event where I could do such thing.

Any help will be appreciated.

    You could always create your own set of controls (very easy to do) and hide the built-in ones. – Scott Marcus Jan 04 '17 at 16:41
  • @ScottMarcus yep I know that and I surely do, but I was looking for quick fix as I'm very unhappy because of this button – LJ Wadowski Jan 04 '17 at 16:42
  • Question is on Audio but duplicate link is on Video. Anyway, I found this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/41302624/2912339 – Elyor Apr 24 '17 at 15:54

"In reality, you can't. But you can make it harder to download."

    The question wasn't about how to prevent downloading per se. It was about how to prevent the button from being visible. – Scott Marcus Jan 04 '17 at 16:41
  • So, it doesn't address the question as asked and it just links to another question? Who up-voted this? – canon Jan 04 '17 at 20:01
