emerglines Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Chrome supports hundreds of different command line switches that may add features to the browser, change how features work, or remove features from it. Some switches are only useful to developers, as they enable them to test certain features in Chrome, while others have practical uses that users of the web browser will appreciate as well.The following list highlights important Chrome command line switches for users of the browser.Before that, I'd like to walk you through the configuration process that explains how you can add one or multiple command line switches to the Chrome browser.Note: The guide explains how this is done on Windows only.Adding command line switches to ChromeYou have two main options to do so. First, you can open the Windows command line, change the directory to the Chrome directory, and run commands using chrome.exe followed by the commands that you want to run. An example would be the following command executed in the Chrome application directory on the system.chrome.exe --reset-variation-stateThe easiest way to do so is the following way:Tap on the Windows-key, type cmd and hit enter.Use CD to change the directory to your Chrome profile directory.If you are running Windows XP, it is %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\ApplicationIf you are running Windows Vista or newer, it is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\ApplicationType chrome.exe followed by the space-key, and then the command line switches you want to run. Note that they always begin with two dashes.This is great for testing purposes, but if you like a certain command and want to run it at all times, you may want to make those changes permanent so that they are automatically used whenever you load Chrome.If you are starting Google Chrome from a shortcut, placed on the desktop, taskbar or start menu, then you can easily add command line switches to it. Just right-click the shortcut, locate Google Chrome there, right-click on it and select Properties.The Shortcut tab should open up automatically. It displays the load path of the browser in the target field. At the end of the field, after the closing ", add a space, and then the command line switches you want to use.Add another space between each command line switch if you want to use multiple ones.For a full list of switches, consult this page.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
