Using this flag will not make API calls use the true fast path, it will probably even make things a bit slower. Its purpose is to guarantee test coverage for the blink side of V8 Fast API calls, independently of whether or not V8 actually activates the fast path, which depends on heuristics. This flag is effective only when DCHECKs are enabled. ↪ |
--enable-features ⊗ | Comma-separated list of feature names to enable. See also kDisableFeatures. ↪ |
--enable-field-trial-config ⊗ | Enable field trial tests configured in fieldtrial_testing_config.json. If the "disable_fieldtrial_testing_config" GN flag is set to true, then this switch is a no-op. Otherwise, for non-Chrome branded builds, the testing config is already applied by default, unless the "--disable-field-trial-config", "--force-fieldtrials", and/or "--variations-server-url" switches are passed. It is however possible to apply the testing config as well as specify additional field trials (using "--force-fieldtrials") by using this switch. For Chrome-branded builds, the testing config is not enabled by default, so this switch is required to enable it. ↪ |

--metrics-recording-only ⊗ | Enables the recording of metrics reports but disables reporting. In contrast to kForceEnableMetricsReporting, this executes all the code that a normal client would use for reporting, except the report is dropped rather than sent to the server. This is useful for finding issues in the metrics code during UI and performance tests. ↪ |

Each pattern uses the same syntax as patterns in Chrome extension manifest. The only difference is that * scheme matches all schemes instead of matching only http and https. If the value doesn't start with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL matches any pattern. If the value starts with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL does not match any pattern. ↪ |
--nacl-gdb ⊗ | Native Client GDB debugger that will be launched automatically when needed. ↪ |

--no-first-run ⊗ | Skip First Run tasks, whether or not it's actually the First Run, and the What's New page. Overridden by kForceFirstRun (for FRE) and kForceWhatsNew (for What's New). This does not drop the First Run sentinel and thus doesn't prevent first run from occurring the next time chrome is launched without this flag. It also does not update the last What's New milestone, so does not prevent What's New from occurring the next time chrome is launched without this flag. ↪ |
--no-initial-navigation ⊗ | Stops new Shell objects from navigating to a default url. ↪ |

--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'. ↪ |

--time-ticks-at-unix-epoch ⊗ | Accepts a number representing the time-ticks value at the Unix epoch. Since different processes can produce a different value for this due to system clock changes, this allows synchronizing them to a single value. ↪ |
--time-zone-for-testing ⊗ | The time zone to use for testing. Passed to renderers and plugins on startup. ↪ |
--timeout ⊗ | Issues a stop after the specified number of milliseconds. This cancels all navigation and causes the DOMContentLoaded event to fire. ↪ |
--tint-composited-content ⊗ | Tint composited color. ↪ |
--tint-composited-content-modulate ⊗ | Modulates the debug compositor tint color so that damage and page flip updates are made clearly visible. This feature was useful in determining the root cause of https://b.corp.google.com/issues/183260320 . The tinting flag "tint-composited-content" must also be enabled for this flag to used. ↪ |

--touch-devices[13] ⊗ | Tells chrome to interpret events from these devices as touch 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'. ↪ |
--touch-events ⊗ | Enable support for touch event feature detection. ↪ |
--touch-selection-strategy ⊗ | Controls how text selection granularity changes when touch text selection handles are dragged. Should be "character" or "direction". If not specified, the platform default is used. ↪ |
--touch-slop-distance ⊗ | Overrides touch slop distance for gesture detection. The touch slop distance is the maximum distance from the starting point of a touch sequence that a gesture can travel before it can no longer be considered a tap. Scroll gestures can only begin after this distance has been travelled. The switch value is a floating point number that is interpreted as a distance in pixels. ↪ |
--touchscreen-usable-while-screen-off ⊗ | Chromebases' touchscreens can be used to wake from suspend, unlike the touchscreens on other Chrome OS devices. If set, the touchscreen is kept enabled while the screen is off so that it can be used to turn the screen back on after it has been turned off for inactivity but before the system has suspended. ↪ |
--touch_view ⊗ | No description ↪ |
--tpm-is-dynamic ⊗ | Enables TPM selection in runtime. ↪ |
--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-smb-size ⊗ | Configures the size of the shared memory buffer used for tracing. Value is provided in kB. Defaults to 4096. Should be a multiple of the SMB page size (currently 32kB on Desktop or 4kB on Android). ↪ |
--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. Historically, --trace-startup was used for browser startup profiling and --enable-tracing was used for browsertest tracing. Now they are share the same implementation, but both are still supported to avoid disrupting existing workflows. The only difference between them is the default duration (5 seconds for trace-startup, unlimited for enable-tracing). If both are specified, 'trace-startup' takes precedence. 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: - if --trace-startup is specified, a default of 5 seconds is used. - if --enable-tracing is specified, tracing lasts until the browser is closed. Has no effect otherwise. ↪ |
--trace-startup-enable-privacy-filtering ⊗ | If the perfetto tracing backend is used, this enables privacy filtering in the TraceEvent data sources for the startup tracing session. ↪ |
--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-format ⊗ | Sets the output format for the trace, valid values are "json" and "proto". If not set, the current default is "proto". "proto", unlike json, supports writing the trace into the output file incrementally and is more likely to retain more data if the browser process unexpectedly terminates. Ignored if "trace-startup-owner" is not "controller". ↪ |
--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 and options; 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. ↪ |
--trace-to-file-name ⊗ | Specifies the file name for --trace-to-file. If unspecified, it will go to a default file name. ↪ |
--translate-ranker-model-url ⊗ | Overrides the URL from which the translate ranker model is downloaded. ↪ |
--translate-script-url ⊗ | Overrides the default server used for Google Translate. ↪ |

--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 |

Once all network fetches have completed, timers fire and if the system runs out of virtual time is fastforwarded so the next timer fires immediately, 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. ↪ |
