  Yes, there are several browser extensions and settings that can help you avoid the automatic download of SWF files on Chrome while researching about cryptocurrencies. One popular extension is 'FlashControl', which allows you to block Flash content, including SWF files, from automatically playing or downloading. Another option is to go to Chrome's settings, click on 'Site Settings', then 'Flash', and toggle off the 'Ask first' option. This will prevent SWF files from automatically downloading without your permission.
