Is there any start up flag for disabling downloads?
For example, when I go to www.example.com/file.zip, a file is downloaded, which I do not wish to.
How can we avoid this?

That URL is directed to a file (file.zip), not a webpage, therefore it's expected any browser to try to download the file. Perhaps you want to go www.example.com instead?

Is your goal to actually disable all downloads (so it is impossible to download anything), or to just ensure that a download isn't initiated immediately upon arriving at any URL?

One option that Chrome users have is to disable automatic downloads in the web browser. 1, Load chrome://settings/ in the browser's address bar. 2, Scroll down and click on the "show advanced settings" link. 3, Scroll down to the Downloads section. 4, Check the preference "Ask where to save each file before downloading". Chrome will prompt you for a download location each time a download is initiated in the browser.

I do not know why this question was asked, but I want the answer because I'm running chromium in kiosk mode and want to prevent users from overwriting files which I have to keep writable.

How do I disable download in google chrome?
Prevent users from downloading files
Supported on Chrome 61 and later.
As an administrator, you can specify whether users can download files
from the Internet using Google Chrome. For example, you might want to
let users download files but block any that are dangerous, such as
malware. If users try to download dangerous files, Google Safe
Browsing shows them a security warning that they can’t bypass.
Apply policy to users
To apply restrictions to downloads, configure the
DownloadRestrictions policy.
You can restrict downloads that are triggered on webpages when users
click a download link on the page, or right-click a file and choose
Save link as....
Restrictions don’t apply when users save the currently displayed
webpage. To save a webpage, users can:
- Click File and then Save Page as…, or
- Click Print and choose Save as PDF for the destination.
Download restriction options
You can specify the type of downloads that Google Chrome will block,
depending on how secure they are.
- 0 (No special restrictions) — Downloads go through the usual security restrictions based on Safe Browsing analysis results.
- 1 (Block dangerous downloads) — Downloads are allowed, except for those that carry Safe Browsing warnings.
- 2 (Block potentially dangerous downloads) — Downloads are allowed, except for those that carry Safe Browsing warnings of
potentially dangerous downloads.
- 3 (Block all downloads) — All downloads are blocked.

If you set this policy, Google Chrome will prevent certain types of downloads, and won't let user bypass the security warnings.
When the 'Block dangerous downloads' option is chosen, all downloads are allowed, except for those that carry SafeBrowsing
warnings.
When the 'Block potentially dangerous downloads' option is chosen, all downloads allowed, except for those that carry

When this policy is not set, (or the 'No special restrictions' option is chosen), the downloads will go through the usual security
restrictions based on SafeBrowsing analysis results.
Note that these restrictions apply to downloads triggered from web page content, as well as the 'download link...' context menu
option. These restrictions do not apply to the save / download of the
currently displayed page, nor does it apply to saving as PDF from the
printing options.

That URL is directed to a file (file.zip), not a webpage, therefore it's expected any browser to try to download the file. Perhaps you want to go www.example.com instead?

Is your goal to actually disable all downloads (so it is impossible to download anything), or to just ensure that a download isn't initiated immediately upon arriving at any URL?

One option that Chrome users have is to disable automatic downloads in the web browser. 1, Load chrome://settings/ in the browser's address bar. 2, Scroll down and click on the "show advanced settings" link. 3, Scroll down to the Downloads section. 4, Check the preference "Ask where to save each file before downloading". Chrome will prompt you for a download location each time a download is initiated in the browser.
