$("#google-map").on("mousedown",function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        disableInfoWindows();
    },500);
});

function disableInfoWindows()
{
    $(".gm-iw.gm-sm").parent().parent().remove();
    $("[style='position: absolute; left: -2px; top: -336px; width: 59px; height: 492px; -webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;']")
    .parent()
    .parent()
    .remove();
}

It worked for me, no infoWindow showing up, while preserving all the icons. Anyone who has an idea enhancing the code is welcome, the infoWindow is showing up just a bit the first time it is about to open, after that first one, it is completely gone.
