Hello, I've come across a problem where "sometimes" my browser "chrome" fails to load the "face_recognition_model.bin" file giving me the "net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" error for that file. I noticed that it's a 6 MB+ file.
In my project I only use the face detection method. I don't use anything else but detecting the faces .. is there a way to minimize this file size or the whole package to suit only my needs? like only detecting faces. no expressions or age or etc

?

net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT error is almost always issue with your browser - do you have some extension installed that is misbehaving? for example, ad-blocker.

anyhow, face-api only loads models YOU specified - it does not load everything by default.
you're asking how to load only detection, but check your code - you are yourself loading different models that you say you don't need.
