# Disables use of a binary for preloading the Media Engagement index
# Said binary is: chrome/browser/resources/media/mei_preload/preloaded_data.pb
# According to media/base/media_switches (for PreloadMediaEngagementData), it
# "enables a list of origins to be considered as having a high MEI until there
# is enough local data to determine the user's preferred behavior." This feature
# does not seem to outweigh the benefit of removing the binary, thus this patch.
