转自：http://peter.sh/experiments/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 2015-12-30.

 

ConditionExplanation
--[1] ⊗ Classic, non-material, mode for the |kTopChromeMD| switch. ↪
--0 ⊗ Value of the --profiler-timing flag that will disable timing information for chrome://profiler. ↪
--? ⊗ No description ↪
--adaboost ⊗ No description ↪
--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-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-hidden-media-playback ⊗ Allows media playback for hidden WebContents ↪
--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-loopback-in-peer-connection ⊗ Allows loopback interface to be added in network list for peer connection. ↪

--allow-nacl-socket-api[2] ⊗ 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. ↪
--allow-sandbox-debugging ⊗ Allows debugging of sandboxed processes (see zygote_main_linux.cc). ↪
--allow-unchecked-dangerous-downloads[3]⊗ No description ↪
--alsa-input-device[4] ⊗ The Alsa device to use when opening an audio input stream. ↪

Implies |kAshCopyHostBackgroundAtBoot| and doesn't make much sense if used in conjunction with |kDisableBootAnimation| (since the transition begins at the same time as the white/grayscale login screen animation). ↪
--ash-browsertests[6] ⊗ Force browser tests to run in Ash/Metro on Windows 8. ↪
--ash-copy-host-background-at-boot ⊗ Copies the host window's content to the system background layer at startup. Can make boot slightly slower, but also hides an even-longer awkward period where we display a white background if the login wallpaper takes a long time to load. ↪
--ash-debug-shortcuts ⊗ Enable keyboard shortcuts useful for debugging. ↪
--ash-disable-maximize-mode-window-backdrop ⊗ Disables the window backdrops normally used in maximize mode (TouchView). ↪
--ash-disable-screen-orientation-lock[7] ⊗ Disable the support for WebContents to lock the screen orientation. ↪

--ash-hide-notifications-for-factory ⊗ Hides notifications that are irrelevant to Chrome OS device factory testing, such as battery level updates. ↪
--ash-host-window-bounds ⊗ Sets a window size, optional position, and optional scale factor. "1024x768" creates a window of size 1024x768. "100+200-1024x768" positions the window at 100,200. "1024x768*2" sets the scale factor to 2 for a high DPI display. ↪
