List of flags and switches

This is an exhaustive list of command-line switches and chrome://flags introduced by ungoogled-chromium

NOTE: If you add a command-line argument that is also in chrome://flags, the flag's state will not be indicated in chrome://flags. There is no universal way to ensure command-line flags are taking effect, but you can find if they're being seen by checking chrome://version.

If a flag requires a value, you must specify it with an = sign; e.g. flag --foo with value bar should be written as --foo=bar.

  • --disable-beforeunload (Not in chrome://flags) - Disables JavaScript dialog boxes triggered by beforeunload
  • --disable-encryption (Windows only, not in chrome://flags) - Disable encryption of cookies, passwords, and settings which uses a generated machine-specific encryption key. This is used to enable portable user data directories.
  • --disable-machine-id (Windows only, not in chrome://flags) - Disables use of a generated machine-specific ID to lock the user data directory to that machine. This is used to enable portable user data directories.
  • --disable-search-engine-collection - Disable automatic search engine scraping from webpages.
  • --enable-stacked-tab-strip and --enable-tab-adjust-layout - These flags adjust the tab strip behavior. --enable-stacked-tab-strip is also configurable in chrome://flags Please note that they are not well tested, so proceed with caution.
  • --extension-mime-request-handling - Change how extension MIME types (CRX and user scripts) are handled. Acceptable values are download-as-regular-file or always-prompt-for-install. Leave unset to use normal behavior. It is also configurable under chrome://flags
  • --fingerprinting-canvas-image-data-noise (Added flag to Bromite feature) - Implements fingerprinting deception for Canvas image data retrieved via JS APIs. In the data, at most 10 pixels are slightly modified.
  • --fingerprinting-canvas-measuretext-noise (Added flag to Bromite feature) - Scale the output values of Canvas::measureText() with a randomly selected factor in the range -0.0003% to 0.0003%, which are recomputed on every document initialization.
  • --fingerprinting-client-rects-noise (Added flag to Bromite feature) - Implements fingerprinting deception of JS APIs getClientRects() and getBoundingClientRect() by scaling their output values with a random factor in the range -0.0003% to 0.0003%, which are recomputed for every document instantiation.
  • --hide-crashed-bubble (Not in chrome://flags) - Hides the bubble box with the message "Restore Pages? Chromium didn't shut down correctly." that shows on startup after the browser did not exit cleanly.
  • --max-connections-per-host (from Bromite) - Configure the maximum allowed connections per host. Valid values are 6 and 15
  • --pdf-plugin-name - Sets the internal PDF viewer plugin name. Useful for sites that probe JavaScript API navigator.plugins. Supports values chrome for Chrome, edge for Microsoft Edge. Default value when omitted is Chromium.
  • --scroll-tabs - Determines if scrolling will cause a switch to a neighboring tab if the cursor hovers over the tabs, or the empty space beside the tabs. The flag requires one the values: always, never, incognito-and-guest. When omitted, the default is to use platform-specific behavior, which is currently enabled only on desktop Linux.
  • --set-ipv6-probe-false - (Not in chrome://flags) Forces the result of the browser's IPv6 probing (i.e. IPv6 connectivity test) to be unsuccessful. This causes IPv4 addresses to be prioritized over IPv6 addresses. Without this flag, the probing result is set to be successful, which causes IPv6 to be used over IPv4 when possible.
  • --show-avatar-button - Sets visibility of the avatar button. The flag requires one of the values: always, incognito-and-guest (only show Incognito or Guest modes), or never.
