Purpose

Approach

--disable-search-engine-choice-screen
Disables the screen that prompts users to select a default search engine when launching the browser for the first time.

--disable-component-extensions-with-background-pages
Prevents component extensions with background pages (extensions running in the background) from being loaded.

--allow-pre-commit-input
Allows user input before a commit action completes, usually related to development or debugging tasks.

--disable-background-networking
Disables any networking tasks that would typically run in the background, such as preloading content or updating components.

--disable-background-timer-throttling
Stops the throttling of background timers, ensuring background tabs have the same timer performance as active tabs.

--disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows
Prevents reducing the priority of windows that are fully covered (occluded) by other windows.

--disable-breakpad
Disables the Breakpad crash reporting system, preventing crash reports from being sent to developers.

--disable-client-side-phishing-detection
Turns off the browser's built-in phishing detection mechanisms.

--disable-default-apps
Prevents default apps from being installed on first run, often used in testing environments.

--disable-extensions
Disables all browser extensions.

--disable-hang-monitor
Turns off the monitoring of hung browser processes, which could otherwise trigger recovery or debugging processes.

--disable-infobars
Prevents informational bars (like "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software") from appearing.

--disable-ipc-flooding-protection
Removes protections against flooding inter-process communication (IPC) channels with too many messages.

--disable-popup-blocking
Turns off the browser's pop-up blocker, allowing all pop-ups to appear.

--disable-prompt-on-repost
Disables the warning when a form is re-submitted (a repost).

--disable-renderer-backgrounding
Prevents renderer processes from being deprioritized when they are in the background.

--disable-sync
Disables the browser's syncing features, such as syncing bookmarks, settings, and history.

--enable-automation
Indicates that the browser is being controlled by automated testing software (like Selenium).

--export-tagged-pdf
Exports PDFs with tagged metadata for accessibility.

--generate-pdf-document-outline
Generates a document outline (e.g., a table of contents) for exported PDFs.

--force-color-profile=srgb
Forces the use of the sRGB color profile for consistent color rendering.

--metrics-recording-only
Limits functionality to only record performance metrics, often used for diagnostics.

--no-first-run
Skips the first-run experience, such as the welcome screen and initial setup dialogs.

--password-store=basic
Configures the browser to use a simple, unencrypted password store.

--use-mock-keychain
Replaces the system's keychain (for password management) with a mock version, typically for testing environments.
