--? ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--accept-empty-variations-seed-signature ⊗ | Accept an empty signature when loading a variations seed. This is for testing purposes. ↪ |
--accept-lang ⊗ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can't find the switch you are looking for? Try looking in: ash/constants/ash_switches.cc base/base_switches.cc etc. When commenting your switch, please use the same voice as surrounding comments. Imagine "This switch..." at the beginning of the phrase, and it'll all work out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specifies Accept-Language to send to servers and expose to JavaScript via the navigator.language DOM property. language[-country] where language is the 2 letter code from ISO-639. ↪ |
--accept-resource-provider ⊗ | Flag indicating that a resource provider must be set up to provide cast receiver with resources. Apps cannot start until provided resources. This flag implies --alsa-check-close-timeout=0. ↪ |

To enable IWAs from command line one should use kIsolatedWebApps feature flag. ↪ |
--enable-lacros-for-testing ⊗ | This flag is a replacement for `features::kLacrosOnly` during the in-between phase where users should not be able to enable Lacros but developers should for debugging. Just like `features::kLacrosOnly`, passing the flag alone does not guarantee that Lacros is enabled and other conditions like whether Lacros is allowed to be enabled i.e. `standalone_browser::BrowserSupport::IsAllowed()` still apply. ↪ |

--host-package-label[10] ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--host-package-name[10] ⊗ | When we retrieve the package name within the SDK Runtime, we need to use a bit of a hack to do this by taking advantage of the fact that the pid is the same pid as the application's pid + 10000. see: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/Process.java;l=292;drc=47fffdd53115a9af1820e3f89d8108745be4b55d When the render process is created however, it is just a regular isolated process with no particular association so we can't perform the same hack. When creating minidumps, the package name is retrieved from the process meaning the render process minidumps would end up reporting a generic process name not associated with the app. We work around this by feeding through the host package information to the render process when launching it. ↪ |

This switch has no effect unless --user-data-dir (as defined by the content embedder) is also present. ↪ |
--ignore-google-port-numbers ⊗ | When set, this will ignore the PortPermission passed in the google_util.h methods and ignore the port numbers. This makes it easier to run tests for features that use these methods (directly or indirectly) with the EmbeddedTestServer, which is more representative of production. ↪ |
--ignore-gpu-blocklist ⊗ | Ignores GPU blocklist. ↪ |
--ignore-profile-directory-if-not-exists ⊗ | If provided with kProfileDirectory, does not create the profile if the profile directory doesn't exist. ↪ |

Takes a JSON dict, with each key being an origin (RFC 6454 Section 6.2) and each value a comma-separated list of client hint tokens (RFC 8942 Section 3.1, client-hints-infrastructure Section 7.1). Each origin/token-list entry will be parsed and persisted to the Client Hints storage as though the token-list had come through an Accept-CH response header from a navigation from the origin. The initialization will only apply to non-OffTheRecord profiles, meaning incognito or guest profiles will not have the storage applied. ↪ |
--input ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--inspector-protocol-log ⊗ | Specifies the path to a file containing a Chrome DevTools protocol log. Each line in the log file is expected to be a protocol message in the JSON format.

--nacl-debug-mask ⊗ | Uses NaCl manifest URL to choose whether NaCl program will be debugged by debug stub. Switch value format: [!]pattern1,pattern2,...,patternN. Each pattern uses the same syntax as patterns in Chrome extension manifest. The only difference is that * scheme matches all schemes instead of matching only http and https. If the value doesn't start with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL matches any pattern. If the value starts with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL does not match any pattern. ↪ |
--nacl-gdb ⊗ | Native Client GDB debugger that will be launched automatically when needed. ↪ |
--nacl-gdb-script ⊗ | GDB script to pass to the nacl-gdb debugger at startup. ↪ |

--network ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--network-quiet-timeout ⊗ | Sets the timeout seconds of the network-quiet timers in IdlenessDetector. Used by embedders who want to change the timeout time in order to run web contents on various embedded devices and changeable network bandwidths in different regions. For example, it's useful when using FirstMeaningfulPaint signal to dismiss a splash screen. ↪ |
--new-window ⊗ | Launches URL in new browser window. ↪ |
--no-default-browser-check ⊗ | Disables the default browser check. Useful for UI/browser tests where we want to avoid having the default browser info-bar displayed. ↪ |
--no-delay-for-dx12-vulkan-info-collection ⊗ | Start the non-sandboxed GPU process for DX12 and Vulkan info collection immediately after the browser starts. The default is to delay for 120 seconds. ↪ |
--no-experiments ⊗ | Disables all experiments set on about:flags. Does not disable about:flags itself. Useful if an experiment makes chrome crash at startup: One can start chrome with --no-experiments, disable the problematic lab at about:flags and then restart chrome without this switch again. ↪ |
--no-first-run ⊗ | Skip First Run tasks as well as not showing additional dialogs, prompts or bubbles. Suppressing dialogs, prompts, and bubbles is important as this switch is used by automation (including performance benchmarks) where it's important only a browser window is shown. This may not actually be the first run or the What's New page. Overridden by kForceFirstRun (for FRE) and kForceWhatsNew (for What's New). This does not drop the First Run sentinel and thus doesn't prevent first run from occurring the next time chrome is launched without this flag. It also does not update the last What's New milestone, so does not prevent What's New from occurring the next time chrome is launched without this flag. ↪ |
--no-mojo ⊗ | Disables Mojo initialization completely in the process. Only applies to test child processes. See base::MultiprocessTest. ↪ |
--no-network-profile-warning[1] ⊗ | Whether or not the browser should warn if the profile is on a network share. This flag is only relevant for Windows currently. ↪ |

--no-service-autorun ⊗ | Disables the service process from adding itself as an autorun process. This does not delete existing autorun registrations, it just prevents the service from registering a new one. ↪ |
--no-startup-window ⊗ | Does not automatically open a browser window on startup (used when launching Chrome for the purpose of hosting background apps). ↪ |
--no-subproc-heap-profiling ⊗ | Forces Heap Profiling off for a subprocess. The browser will add this when the kHeapProfilerCentralControl feature is enabled but the subprocess should not be profiled. TODO(https://crbug.com/40840943): This is the default behaviour so the switch only exists to validate that HeapProfilerController adds a switch to every child process that's launched. Remove it once that's verified. ↪ |
--no-unsandboxed-zygote ⊗ | Disables the unsandboxed zygote. Note: this flag should not be used on most platforms. It is introduced because some platforms (e.g. Cast) have very limited memory and binaries won't be updated when the browser process is running. ↪ |
--no-user-gesture-required ⊗ | Autoplay policy that does not require any user gesture. ↪ |
--no-xr-runtime ⊗ | Tell WebXr to assume that it does not support any runtimes. ↪ |
--no-xshm[15] ⊗ | Disables MIT-SHM extension. In use only with Ozone/X11. ↪ |
--no-zygote ⊗ | Disables the use of a zygote process for forking child processes. Instead, child processes will be forked and exec'd directly. Note that --no-sandbox should also be used together with this flag because the sandbox needs the zygote to work. ↪ |
--no-zygote-sandbox[15] ⊗ | Instructs the zygote to launch without a sandbox. Processes forked from this type of zygote will apply their own custom sandboxes later. ↪ |
--noerrdialogs ⊗ | Suppresses all error dialogs when present. ↪ |
--none ⊗ | Must be in sync with "sandbox_type" values as used in service manager's manifest.json catalog files. ↪ |
--none_and_elevated ⊗ | No description ↪ |

--optimization-guide-fetch-hints-override-timer ⊗ | Overrides the hints fetch scheduling and delay, causing a hints fetch immediately on start up using the TopHostProvider. This is meant for testing. ↪ |
--optimization-guide-model-execution-validate ⊗ | Triggers validation of the server-side AI model execution. Used for integration testing. ↪ |
--optimization-guide-model-override ⊗ | Disables the fetching of models and overrides the file path and metadata to be used for the session to use what's passed via command-line instead of what is already stored. We expect that the string be a comma-separated string of model overrides with each model override be: OPTIMIZATION_TARGET_STRING:file_path or OPTIMIZATION_TARGET_STRING:file_path:base64_encoded_any_proto_model_metadata. It is possible this only works on Desktop since file paths are less easily accessible on Android, but may work. ↪ |

--optimization_guide_hints_override ⊗ | Overrides the Hints Protobuf that would come from the component updater. If the value of this switch is invalid, regular hint processing is used. The value of this switch should be a base64 encoding of a binary Configuration message, found in optimization_guide's hints.proto. Providing a valid value to this switch causes Chrome startup to block on hints parsing. ↪ |
--orientation-sensors ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--origin-trial-disabled-features ⊗ | Contains a list of feature names for which origin trial experiments should be disabled. Names should be separated by "|" characters. ↪ |

--override-enabled-cdm-interface-version ⊗ | Overrides the default enabled library CDM interface version(s) with the one specified with this switch, which will be the only version enabled. For example, on a build where CDM 8, CDM 9 and CDM 10 are all supported (implemented), but only CDM 8 and CDM 9 are enabled by default: --override-enabled-cdm-interface-version=8 : Only CDM 8 is enabled --override-enabled-cdm-interface-version=9 : Only CDM 9 is enabled --override-enabled-cdm-interface-version=10 : Only CDM 10 is enabled --override-enabled-cdm-interface-version=11 : No CDM interface is enabled This can be used for local testing and debugging. It can also be used to enable an experimental CDM interface (which is always disabled by default) for testing while it's still in development. ↪ |
--override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing ⊗ | Overrides hardware secure codecs support for testing. If specified, real platform hardware secure codecs check will be skipped. Valid codecs are: - video: "vp8", "vp9", "avc1", "hevc", "dolbyvision", "av01" - video that does not support clear lead: `<video>-no-clearlead`, where <video> is from the list above. - audio: "mp4a", "vorbis" Codecs are separated by comma. For example: --override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing=vp8,vp9-no-clearlead,vorbis --override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing=avc1,mp4a CENC encryption scheme is assumed to be supported for the specified codecs. If no valid codecs specified, no hardware secure codecs are supported. This can be used to disable hardware secure codecs support: --override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing ↪ |

--prevent-kiosk-autolaunch-for-testing ⊗ | Prevent kiosk autolaunch for testing. ↪ |
--prevent-resizing-contents-for-testing[31] ⊗ | For mobile devices, tests should include a viewport meta tag to specify page dimension adjustments. Omitting the tag can lead to automatic resizing to the standard mobile fallback size (980), which results in content shrinking as it first expands to 980, then scales down to 800 to fit the screen, as observed in the issue at https://crrev.com/c/4615623. This flag is intended for use in tests that do not include a viewport meta tag. When enabled, it ensures the viewport size matches the standard mobile fallback size, thereby helping to prevent content resizing in such tests. ↪ |

More details here: - https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/process-models - The class comment in site_instance.h, listing the supported process models. IMPORTANT: This isn't to be confused with --site-per-process (which is about isolation, not consolidation). You probably want the other one. ↪ |
--process-per-tab ⊗ | Runs each set of script-connected tabs (i.e., a BrowsingInstance) in its own renderer process. We default to using a renderer process for each site instance (i.e., group of pages from the same registered domain with script connections to each other). TODO(creis): This flag is currently a no-op. We should refactor it to avoid "unnecessary" process swaps for cross-site navigations but still swap when needed for security (e.g., isolated origins). ↪ |

--profiling-file ⊗ | Specifies a location for profiling output. This will only work if chrome has been built with the gyp variable profiling=1 or gn arg enable_profiling=true. {pid} if present will be replaced by the pid of the process. {count} if present will be incremented each time a profile is generated for this process. The default is chrome-profile-{pid} for the browser and test-profile-{pid} for tests. ↪ |
--profiling-flush ⊗ | Controls whether profile data is periodically flushed to a file. Normally the data gets written on exit but cases exist where chromium doesn't exit cleanly (especially when using single-process). A time in seconds can be specified. ↪ |
--protected-audiences-consented-debug-token ⊗ | Causes Protected Audiences Bidding and Auction API to supply the provided debugging key to the trusted auction server. This tells the server that it okay to log information about this user's auction to help with debugging. ↪ |

--pull-to-refresh ⊗ | Enables or disables pull-to-refresh gesture in response to vertical overscroll. Set the value to '0' to disable the feature, set to '1' to enable it for both touchpad and touchscreen, and set to '2' to enable it only for touchscreen. Defaults to disabled. ↪ |
--purge-model-and-features-store ⊗ | Purges the store containing prediction medels and host model features on startup, so that it's guaranteed to be using fresh data. ↪ |
--purge-optimization-guide-store ⊗ | Purges the store containing fetched and component hints on startup, so that it's guaranteed to be using fresh data. ↪ |
--pwa-launcher-version[1] ⊗ | Specifies the version of the Progressive-Web-App launcher that launched Chrome, used to determine whether to update all launchers. NOTE: changing this switch requires adding legacy handling for the previous method, as older PWA launchers still using this switch will rely on Chrome to update them to use the new method. ↪ |

--raise-timer-frequency[1] ⊗ | Raise the timer interrupt frequency in all Chrome processes, for experimental purposes. This feature is needed because as of Windows 10 2004 the scheduling effects of changing the timer interrupt frequency are not global, and this lets us prove/disprove whether this matters. See https://crbug.com/1128917 ↪ |

--remote-allow-origins ⊗ | Enables web socket connections from the specified origins only. '*' allows any origin. ↪ |
--remote-debug-mode ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--remote-debugging-address ⊗ | Use the given address instead of the default loopback for accepting remote debugging connections. Note that the remote debugging protocol does not perform any authentication, so exposing it too widely can be a security risk. ↪ |

The touch slop distance is the maximum distance from the starting point of a touch sequence that a gesture can travel before it can no longer be considered a tap. Scroll gestures can only begin after this distance has been travelled. The switch value is a floating point number that is interpreted as a distance in pixels. ↪ |
--touchscreen-usable-while-screen-off ⊗ | Chromebases' touchscreens can be used to wake from suspend, unlike the touchscreens on other Chrome OS devices. If set, the touchscreen is kept enabled while the screen is off so that it can be used to turn the screen back on after it has been turned off for inactivity but before the system has suspended. ↪ |
--touch_view ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--tpm-is-dynamic ⊗ | Enables TPM selection in runtime. ↪ |
--trace-config-file ⊗ | Causes TRACE_EVENT flags to be recorded from startup. This flag will be ignored if --trace-startup or --trace-shutdown is provided. ↪ |
--trace-smb-size ⊗ | Configures the size of the shared memory buffer used for tracing. Value is provided in kB. Defaults to 4096. Should be a multiple of the SMB page size (currently 32kB on Desktop or 4kB on Android). ↪ |
--trace-startup ⊗ | Causes TRACE_EVENT flags to be recorded from startup. Optionally, can specify the specific trace categories to include (e.g. --trace-startup=base,net) otherwise, all events are recorded. Setting this flag results in the first call to BeginTracing() to receive all trace events since startup. Historically, --trace-startup was used for browser startup profiling and --enable-tracing was used for browsertest tracing. Now they are share the same implementation, but both are still supported to avoid disrupting existing workflows. The only difference between them is the default duration (5 seconds for trace-startup, unlimited for enable-tracing). If both are specified, 'trace-startup' takes precedence. In Chrome, you may find --trace-startup-file and --trace-startup-duration to control the auto-saving of the trace (not supported in the base-only TraceLog component). ↪ |
--trace-startup-duration ⊗ | Sets the time in seconds until startup tracing ends. If omitted: - if --trace-startup is specified, a default of 5 seconds is used. - if --enable-tracing is specified, tracing lasts until the browser is closed. Has no effect otherwise. ↪ |
--trace-startup-file ⊗ | If supplied, sets the file which startup tracing will be stored into, if omitted the default will be used "chrometrace.log" in the current directory. Has no effect unless --trace-startup is also supplied. Example: --trace-startup --trace-startup-file=/tmp/trace_event.log As a special case, can be set to 'none' - this disables automatically saving the result to a file and the first manually recorded trace will then receive all events since startup. ↪ |
--trace-startup-format ⊗ | Sets the output format for the trace, valid values are "json" and "proto". If not set, the current default is "proto". "proto", unlike json, supports writing the trace into the output file incrementally and is more likely to retain more data if the browser process unexpectedly terminates. Ignored if "trace-startup-owner" is not "controller". ↪ |
--trace-startup-owner ⊗ | Specifies the coordinator of the startup tracing session. If the legacy tracing backend is used instead of perfetto, providing this flag is not necessary. Valid values: 'controller', 'devtools', or 'system'. Defaults to 'controller'. If 'controller' is specified, the session is controlled and stopped via the TracingController (e.g. to implement the timeout). If 'devtools' is specified, the startup tracing session will be owned by DevTools and thus can be controlled (i.e. stopped) via the DevTools Tracing domain on the first session connected to the browser endpoint. If 'system' is specified, the system Perfetto service should already be tracing on a supported platform (currently only Android). Session is stopped through the normal methods for stopping system traces. ↪ |
--trace-startup-record-mode ⊗ | If supplied, sets the tracing record mode and options; otherwise, the default "record-until-full" mode will be used. ↪ |
--trace-to-console ⊗ | Sends a pretty-printed version of tracing info to the console. ↪ |
--trace-to-file ⊗ | Sends trace events from these categories to a file. --trace-to-file on its own sends to default categories. ↪ |
--trace-to-file-name ⊗ | Specifies the file name for --trace-to-file. If unspecified, it will go to a default file name. ↪ |
--translate-ranker-model-url ⊗ | Overrides the URL from which the translate ranker model is downloaded. ↪ |
--translate-script-url ⊗ | Overrides the default server used for Google Translate. ↪ |
--translate-security-origin ⊗ | Overrides security-origin with which Translate runs in an isolated world. ↪ |
--true ⊗ | Value indicating whether flag from command line switch is true. ↪ |
--trusted-download-sources ⊗ | Identifies a list of download sources as trusted, but only if proper group policy is set. ↪ |
--try-supported-channel-layouts[1] ⊗ | Instead of always using the hardware channel layout, check if a driver supports the source channel layout. Avoids outputting empty channels and permits drivers to enable stereo to multichannel expansion. Kept behind a flag since some drivers lie about supported layouts and hang when used. See http://crbug.com/259165 for more details. ↪ |
