List of Chromium Command Line Switches
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 2019-08-12.
| Condition | Explanation |
|---|---|
| –/prefetch:1[1] ⊗ | /prefetch:# arguments to use when launching various process types. It has been observed that when file reads are consistent for 3 process launches with the same /prefetch:# argument, the Windows prefetcher starts issuing reads in batch at process launch. Because reads depend on the process type, the prefetcher wouldn’t be able to observe consistent reads if no /prefetch:# arguments were used. Note that the browser process has no /prefetch:# argument; as such all other processes must have one in order to avoid polluting its profile. Note: # must always be in [1, 8]; otherwise it is ignored by the Windows prefetcher. ↪ |
| –/prefetch:2[1] ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –/prefetch:3[1] ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –/prefetch:4[1] ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –/prefetch:5[1] ⊗ | /prefetch:# arguments for the browser process launched in background mode and for the watcher process. Use profiles 5, 6 and 7 as documented on kPrefetchArgument* in content_switches.cc. ↪ |
| –/prefetch:6[1] ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –/prefetch:8[1] ⊗ | Prefetch arguments are used by the Windows prefetcher to disambiguate different execution modes (i.e. process types) of the same executable image so that different types of processes don’t trample each others’ prefetch behavior. Legal values are integers in the range [1, 8]. We reserve 8 to mean “whatever”, and this will ultimately lead to processes with /prefetch:8 having inconsistent behavior thus disabling prefetch in practice. TODO(rockot): Make it possible for embedders to override this argument on a per-service basis. ↪ |
| –10000 ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –100000 ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –1000000 ⊗ | No description ↪ |

| –account-consistency[2] ⊗ | Command line flag for enabling account consistency. Default mode is disabled. Mirror is a legacy mode in which Google accounts are always addded to Chrome, and Chrome then adds them to the Google authentication cookies. Dice is a new experiment in which Chrome is aware of the accounts in the Google authentication cookies. ↪ |
| –adaboost ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –add-gpu-appcontainer-caps[1] ⊗ | Add additional capabilities to the AppContainer sandbox on the GPU process. ↪ |
| –add-xr-appcontainer-caps[1] ⊗ | Add additional capabilities to the AppContainer sandbox used for XR compositing. ↪ |
| –agc-startup-min-volume ⊗ | Override the default minimum starting volume of the Automatic Gain Control algorithm in WebRTC used with audio tracks from getUserMedia. The valid range is 12-255. Values outside that range will be clamped to the lowest or highest valid value inside WebRTC. TODO(tommi): Remove this switch when crbug.com/555577 is fixed. ↪ |
| –aggressive ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –aggressive-cache-discard ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –aggressive-tab-discard ⊗ | No description ↪ |

| –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 web tests. ↪ |
| –allow-failed-policy-fetch-for-test ⊗ | If this flag is passed, failed policy fetches will not cause profile initialization to fail. This is useful for tests because it means that tests don’t have to mock out the policy infrastructure. ↪ |
| –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-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-popups-during-page-unload ⊗ | Allow a page to show popups during its unloading. TODO(https://crbug.com/937569): Remove this in Chrome 82. ↪ |
| –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. ↪ |
| –allow-sandbox-debugging ⊗ | Allows debugging of sandboxed processes (see zygote_main_linux.cc). ↪ |
| –allow-silent-push ⊗ | Allows Web Push notifications that do not show a notification. ↪ |

Codecs are separated by comma. Valid codecs are “vp8”, “vp9” and “avc1”. For example: –override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing=vp8,vp9 –override-hardware-secure-codecs-for-testing=avc1 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 ↪ |
| –override-metrics-upload-url ⊗ | Override the URL to which metrics logs are sent for debugging. ↪ |
| –override-plugin-power-saver-for-testing ⊗ | Override the behavior of plugin throttling for testing. By default the throttler is only enabled for a hard-coded list of plugins. Set the value to ‘always’ to always throttle every plugin instance. Set the value to ‘never’ to disable throttling. ↪ |

| –passthrough ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –password-store ⊗ | Specifies which encryption storage backend to use. Possible values are kwallet, kwallet5, gnome, gnome-keyring, gnome-libsecret, basic. Any other value will lead to Chrome detecting the best backend automatically. TODO(crbug.com/571003): Once PasswordStore no longer uses the Keyring or KWallet for storing passwords, rename this flag to stop referencing passwords. Do not rename it sooner, though; developers and testers might rely on it keeping large amounts of testing passwords out of their Keyrings or KWallets. ↪ |
| –pdf_compositor ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| –pen-devices[18] ⊗ | Tells chrome to interpret events from these devices as pen events. Only available with XInput 2 (i.e. X server 1.8 or above). The id’s of the devices can be retrieved from ‘xinput list’. ↪ |

| –site-per-process ⊗ | Enforces a one-site-per-process security policy: * Each renderer process, for its whole lifetime, is dedicated to rendering pages for just one site. * Thus, pages from different sites are never in the same process. * A renderer process’s access rights are restricted based on its site. * All cross-site navigations force process swaps. * <iframe>s are rendered out-of-process whenever the src= is cross-site. More details here: – https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/site-isolation – 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 –process-per-site (which is about process consolidation, not isolation). You probably want this one. ↪ |
| –skia-font-cache-limit-mb ⊗ | Specifies the max number of bytes that should be used by the skia font cache. If the cache needs to allocate more, skia will purge previous entries. ↪ |

| –sync-disable-deferred-startup ⊗ | Enables deferring sync backend initialization until user initiated changes occur. ↪ |
| –sync-enable-get-update-before-commits ⊗ | TODO(crbug.com/657130): Sync integration tests depend on the precommit get updates because invalidations aren’t working for them. Therefore, they pass the command line switch to enable this feature. Once sync integrations test support invalidation, this should be removed. Enables feature to perform GetUpdate requests before every commit. ↪ |
| –sync-include-specifics ⊗ | Controls whether the initial state of the “Capture Specifics” flag on chrome://sync-internals is enabled. ↪ |
| –sync-notification-host-port ⊗ | Overrides the default host:port used for notifications. ↪ |

| –tether-host-scans-ignore-wired-connections ⊗ | Tells the Chromebook to scan for a tethering host even if there is already a wired connection. This allows end-to-end tests to be deployed over ethernet without that connection preventing scans and thereby blocking the testing of cases with no preexisting connection. Should be used only for testing. ↪ |
| –tether-stub ⊗ | Overrides Tether with stub service. Provide integer arguments for the number of fake networks desired, e.g. ‘tether-stub=2’. ↪ |

| –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-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. 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 a default of 5 seconds is used. Has no effect without –trace-startup, or if –startup-trace-file=none was supplied. ↪ |
| –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-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; 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. ↪ |

| –true ⊗ | Value indicating whether flag from command line switch is true. ↪ |
| –trustable-bundled-exchanges-file ⊗ | Accepts specified file as a trustable BundledExchanges file. This flag should be used only for testing purpose. ↪ |
| –trusted-cdn-base-url-for-tests[8] ⊗ | Specifies a base URL for the trusted CDN for tests. ↪ |
| –trusted-download-sources ⊗ | Identifies a list of download sources as trusted, but only if proper group policy is set. ↪ |
| –try-chrome-again ⊗ | Experimental. Shows a dialog asking the user to try chrome. This flag is to be used only by the upgrade process. ↪ |
| –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. ↪ |
| –type ⊗ | Indicates the type of process to run. This may be “service-manager”, “service-runner”, or any other arbitrary value supported by the embedder. ↪ |

| –unlimited-storage ⊗ | Overrides per-origin quota settings to unlimited storage for any apps/origins. This should be used only for testing purpose. ↪ |
| –unsafely-allow-protected-media-identifier-for-domain ⊗ | For automated testing of protected content, this switch allows specific domains (e.g. example.com) to skip asking the user for permission to share the protected media identifier. In this context, domain does not include the port number. User’s content settings will not be affected by enabling this switch. Reference: http://crbug.com/718608 Example: –unsafely-allow-protected-media-identifier-for-domain=a.com,b.ca ↪ |
| –unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure ⊗ | Treat given (insecure) origins as secure origins. Multiple origins can be supplied as a comma-separated list. For the definition of secure contexts, see https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/ and https://www.w3.org/TR/powerful-features/#is-origin-trustworthy Example: –unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://a.test,http://b.test ↪ |

| –use-fake-device-for-media-stream ⊗ | Use fake device for Media Stream to replace actual camera and microphone. ↪ |
| –use-fake-mjpeg-decode-accelerator ⊗ | Use a fake device for accelerated decoding of MJPEG. This allows, for example, testing of the communication to the GPU service without requiring actual accelerator hardware to be present. ↪ |
| –use-fake-ui-for-media-stream ⊗ | Bypass the media stream infobar by selecting the default device for media streams (e.g. WebRTC). Works with –use-fake-device-for-media-stream. ↪ |
| –use-file-for-fake-audio-capture ⊗ | Play a .wav file as the microphone. Note that for WebRTC calls we’ll treat the bits as if they came from the microphone, which means you should disable audio processing (lest your audio file will play back distorted). The input file is converted to suit Chrome’s audio buses if necessary, so most sane .wav files should work. You can pass either <path> to play the file looping or <path>%noloop to stop after playing the file to completion. ↪ |
| –use-file-for-fake-video-capture ⊗ | Use an .y4m file to play as the webcam. See the comments in media/capture/video/file_video_capture_device.h for more details. ↪ |

| –variations-insecure-server-url ⊗ | Specifies a custom URL for the server to use as an insecure fallback when requests to |kVariationsServerURL| fail. Requests to this URL will be encrypted. ↪ |
| –variations-override-country ⊗ | Allows overriding the country used for evaluating variations. This is similar to the “Override Variations Country” entry on chrome://translate-internals, but is exposed as a command-line flag to allow testing First Run scenarios. Additionally, unlike chrome://translate-internals, the value isn’t persisted across sessions. ↪ |
| –variations-server-url ⊗ | Specifies a custom URL for the server which reports variation data to the client. Specifying this switch enables the Variations service on unofficial builds. See variations_service.cc. ↪ |

| –virtual-time-budget ⊗ | If set the system waits the specified number of virtual milliseconds before deeming the page to be ready. For determinism virtual time does not advance while there are pending network fetches (i.e no timers will fire). Once all network fetches have completed, timers fire and if the system runs out of virtual time is fastforwarded so the next timer fires immediatley, until the specified virtual time budget is exhausted. ↪ |
| –vmodule ⊗ | Gives the per-module maximal V-logging levels to override the value given by –v. E.g. “my_module=2,foo*=3” would change the logging level for all code in source files “my_module.*” and “foo*.*” (“-inl” suffixes are also disregarded for this matching). Any pattern containing a forward or backward slash will be tested against the whole pathname and not just the module. E.g., “*/foo/bar/*=2” would change the logging level for all code in source files under a “foo/bar” directory. ↪ |

How to use a command line switch?
The Chromium Team has made a page on which they briefly explain how to use these switches.
Conditions
These are rather technical. While most are pretty self-explanatory, keep in mind that any condition means that a switch isn’t always available.
