Google Chrome is now shipping with a download button for videos that are just embedded videos (i.e. not MSE):

Canary Controls

I'm having a hard time find any documentation for Chrome's implementation of the <video> tag. Does anyone know if there is a way - short of disabling "controls" and creating your own video player controls - of disabling this feature?

I realize that if this is showing, it's already easy to download the video, I just want to disable that functionality from appearing as part of the controls.

Thank you!

or you can simply add nodownload in controlsList

<video width="512" height="380" controls controlsList="nodownload">
    <source data-src="mov_bbb.ogg" type="video/mp4">
</video>
