Google Chrome. Список всех ключей запуска

There are lots of command lines which can be used with the Google Chrome browser. Some change behavior of features, others are for debugging or experimenting. This page lists the available switches including their conditions and descriptions. Last automated update occurred on 2015-04-07.

Ключи запуска

Описание

--0

Value of the --profiler-timing flag that will disable timing information for chrome://profiler.

--aggressive

No description

--aggressive-cache-discard

No description

--aggressive-tab-discard

No description

--allow-autofill-sync-credential

Force the password manager to allow sync credentials to be autofilled.

--allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt

Allows third-party content included on a page to prompt for a HTTP basic auth username/password pair.

--allow-external-pages

Allow access to external pages during layout tests.

--allow-file-access

On ChromeOS, file:// access is disabled except for certain whitelisted directories. This switch re-enables file:// for testing.

--allow-file-access-from-files

By default, file:// URIs cannot read other file:// URIs. This is an override for developers who need the old behavior for testing.

--allow-http-background-page

Allows non-https URL for background_page for hosted apps.

--allow-http-screen-capture

Allow non-secure origins to use the screen capture API and the desktopCapture extension API.

--allow-insecure-localhost

Enables TLS/SSL errors on localhost to be ignored (no interstitial, no blocking of requests).

--allow-legacy-extension-manifests

Allows the browser to load extensions that lack a modern manifest when that would otherwise be forbidden.

--allow-nacl-socket-api[1]

Specifies comma-separated list of extension ids or hosts to grant access to TCP/UDP socket APIs.

--allow-no-sandbox-job

Enables the sandboxed processes to run without a job object assigned to them. This flag is required to allow Chrome to run in RemoteApps or Citrix. This flag can reduce the security of the sandboxed processes and allow them to do certain API calls like shut down Windows or access the clipboard. Also we lose the chance to kill some processes until the outer job that owns them finishes.

--allow-outdated-plugins

Don't block outdated plugins.

--allow-ra-in-dev-mode

Allows remote attestation (RA) in dev mode for testing purpose. Usually RA is disabled in dev mode because it will always fail. However, there are cases in testing where we do want to go through the permission flow even in dev mode. This can be enabled by this flag.

--allow-running-insecure-content

By default, an https page cannot run JavaScript, CSS or plugins from http URLs. This provides an override to get the old insecure behavior.

--enable-stats-table

Enables StatsTable, logging statistics to a global named shared memory table.

--enable-strict-mixed-content-checking

Blocks all insecure requests from secure contexts, and prevents the user from overriding that decision.

--enable-strict-powerful-feature-restrictions

Blocks insecure usage of number of powerful features (geolocation, for example) that we haven't yet deprecated for the web at large.

--enable-strict-site-isolation

Experimentally ensures that each renderer process: 1) Only handles rendering for pages from a single site, apart from iframes. (Note that a page can reference content from multiple origins due to images, JavaScript files, etc. Cross-site iframes are also loaded in-process.) 2) Only has authority to see or use cookies for the page's top-level origin. (So if a.com iframes b.com, the b.com network request will be sent without cookies.) This is expected to break compatibility with many pages for now. Unlike the --site-per-process flag, this allows cross-site iframes, but it blocks all cookies on cross-site requests.

--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.

--no-first-run

Skip First Run tasks, whether or not it's actually the First Run. Overridden by kForceFirstRun. This does not drop the First Run sentinel and thus doesn't prevent first run from occuring the next time chrome is launched without this flag.

--no-managed-user-acknowledgment-check

Disables checking whether we received an acknowledgment when registering a supervised user. Also disables the timeout during registration that waits for the ack. Useful when debugging against a server that does not support notifications.
