21 The flag is USE="hotwording", it applies to 45.0.2431.0 and later
22 versions. Please note that this flag disables autoload of hotwording
23 nacl plugin, so if one had earlier chromium versions installed, one
24 will still have this plugin installed on a system.

26 In order to remove already installed plugin one have to delete the
27 following directory:
28 ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/lccekmodgklaepjeofjdjpbminllajkg
