这个页面列出了一些常用的命令行启动参数以及对它们的简要说明。说明中括号里的内容为译者注。 为此页+1
对于选项页 ( chrome://settings/ ) 或实验页 ( chrome://flags/ ) 已明确给出可视选项的参数，本列表不再包含。
更新更全的列表可以参考这里（英文，约500条，每日更新） http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
这些参数的使用方法见本文末尾。
可以参考 Chromium 团队的这个说明（英文） http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
对于 Windows 系统，简单来说就是： 1. 在快捷方式上右键，选择属性。 1. 选择“快捷方式”标签。 1. 在“目标”一行的末尾，添加上启动参数。 1. 最终效果应该像这样： ……\chrome.exe --first-switch --second-switch
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 2015-03-22.
| Condition | Explanation |
|---|---|
| --0 ⊗ | Value of the --profiler-timing flag that will disable timing information for chrome://profiler. ↪ |
| --aggressive ⊗ | No description ↪ |

| --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-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. ↪ |

(Note that a page can reference content from multiple origins due to images, JavaScript files, etc. Cross-site iframes are also loaded in-process.) 2) Only has authority to see or use cookies for the page's top-level origin. (So if a.com iframes b.com, the b.com network request will be sent without cookies.) This is expected to break compatibility with many pages for now. Unlike the --site-per-process flag, this allows cross-site iframes, but it blocks all cookies on cross-site requests. ↪ |

| --skip-gpu-data-loading ⊗ | Skip gpu info collection, blacklist loading, and blacklist auto-update scheduling at browser startup time. Therefore, all GPU features are available, and about:gpu page shows empty content. The switch is intended only for layout tests. TODO(gab): Get rid of this switch entirely. ↪ |
| --slow-down-raster-scale-factor ⊗ | Re-rasters everything multiple times to simulate a much slower machine. Give a scale factor to cause raster to take that many times longer to complete, such as --slow-down-raster-scale-factor=25. ↪ |

| --ssl-version-max ⊗ | Specifies the maximum SSL/TLS version ("ssl3", "tls1", "tls1.1", or "tls1.2"). ↪ |
| --ssl-version-min ⊗ | Specifies the minimum SSL/TLS version ("ssl3", "tls1", "tls1.1", or "tls1.2"). ↪ |
| --ssl3 ⊗ | These values aren't switches, but rather the values that kSSLVersionMax, kSSLVersionMin and kSSLVersionFallbackMin can have. ↪ |
| --stable-release-mode ⊗ | This makes us disable some web-platform runtime features so that we test content_shell as if it was a stable release. It is only followed when kRunLayoutTest is set. For the features' level, see http://dev.chromium.org/blink/runtime-enabled-features. ↪ |
| --start ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| --start-fullscreen ⊗ | Specifies if the browser should start in fullscreen mode, like if the user had pressed F11 right after startup. ↪ |

| --sync-disable-deferred-startup ⊗ | Enables deferring sync backend initialization until user initiated changes occur. ↪ |
| --sync-enable-get-update-avoidance ⊗ | Enables feature to avoid unnecessary GetUpdate requests. ↪ |
| --sync-notification-host-port ⊗ | Overrides the default host:port used for notifications. ↪ |
| --sync-short-initial-retry-override ⊗ | This flag causes sync to retry very quickly (see polling_constants.h) the when it encounters an error, as the first step towards exponential backoff. ↪ |
| --sync-url ⊗ | Overrides the default server used for profile sync. ↪ |
| --system-developer-mode ⊗ | Indicates that the system is running in dev mode. The dev mode probing is done by session manager.↪ |
| --tab-capture-downscale-quality ⊗ | Upscale defaults to "good". ↪ |
| --tab-capture-upscale-quality ⊗ | Scaling quality for capturing tab. Should be one of "fast", "good" or "best". One flag for upscaling, one for downscaling. Upscale defaults to "best". ↪ |
| --test-auto-update-ui ⊗ | Enables testing for auto update UI. ↪ |
| --test-child-process ⊗ | When running certain tests that spawn child processes, this switch indicates to the test framework that the current process is a child process. ↪ |

| --tls1.1 ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| --tls1.2 ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| --top-controls-hide-threshold ⊗ | Percentage of the top controls need to be hidden before they will auto hide. ↪ |
| --top-controls-show-threshold ⊗ | Percentage of the top controls need to be shown before they will auto show. ↪ |
| --touch-calibration[20] ⊗ | The calibration factors given as "<left>,<right>,<top>,<bottom>". ↪ |
| --touch-devices[21] ⊗ | 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 events. ↪ |
| --trace-shutdown ⊗ | Causes TRACE_EVENT flags to be recorded beginning with shutdown. Optionally, can specify the specific trace categories to include (e.g. --trace-shutdown=base,net) otherwise, all events are recorded. --trace-shutdown-file can be used to control where the trace log gets stored to since there is otherwise no way to access the result. ↪ |
| --trace-shutdown-file ⊗ | If supplied, sets the file which shutdown tracing will be stored into, if omitted the default will be used "chrometrace.log" in the current directory. Has no effect unless --trace-shutdown is also supplied. Example: --trace-shutdown --trace-shutdown-file=/tmp/trace_event.log ↪ |
| --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. 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 a default of 5 seconds is used. Has no effect without --trace-startup, or if --startup-trace-file=none was supplied. ↪ |
| --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-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. ↪ |
| --trace-upload-url ⊗ | Sets the target URL for uploading tracing data. ↪ |

| --translate-security-origin ⊗ | Overrides security-origin with which Translate runs in an isolated world. ↪ |
| --trusted-spdy-proxy ⊗ | Disables same-origin check on HTTP resources pushed via a SPDY proxy. The value is the host:port of the trusted proxy. ↪ |
| --try-chrome-again ⊗ | Experimental. Shows a dialog asking the user to try chrome. This flag is to be used only by the upgrade process. ↪ |
| --try-supported-channel-layouts[4] ⊗ | Instead of always using the hardware channel layout, check if a driver supports the source channel layout. Avoids outputting empty channels and permits drivers to enable stereo to multichannel expansion. Kept behind a flag since some drivers lie about supported layouts and hang when used. See http://crbug.com/259165 for more details. ↪ |
| --ttl ⊗ | No description ↪ |
| --type ⊗ | The value of this switch determines whether the process is started as a renderer or plugin host. If it's empty, it's the browser. ↪ |

| --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. ↪ |
| --use-file-for-fake-video-capture ⊗ | Use an .y4m file to play as the webcam. See the comments in media/video/capture/file_video_capture_device.h for more details. ↪ |

| --use-nacl-helper-nonsfi ⊗ | Use nacl_helper_nonsfi executable (the new, newlib-based version of the Non-SFI runtime) to run Non-SFI nexe, instead of nacl_helper executable (which uses the older, glib-based runtime for Non-SFI mode). TODO(hidehiko): Make this default and then remove this flag after nacl_helper_nonsfi is supported. ↪ |
| --use-normal-priority-for-tile-task-worker-threads ⊗ | Use normal priority for tile task worker threads. Otherwise they may be run at background priority on some platforms. ↪ |
| --use-simple-cache-backend ⊗ | Uses experimental simple cache backend if possible. ↪ |

| --v8-cache-options ⊗ | Set options to cache V8 data. (off, preparse data, or code) ↪ |
| --v8-pac-mojo-in-process ⊗ | Enables using an in-process Mojo service for the v8 proxy resolver. ↪ |
| --v8-pac-mojo-out-of-process ⊗ | Enables using an out-of-process Mojo service for the v8 proxy resolver. ↪ |
| --validate-crx ⊗ | Examines a .crx for validity and prints the result. ↪ |
| --validate-input-event-stream ⊗ | In debug builds, asserts that the stream of input events is valid. ↪ |
| --variations-server-url ⊗ | Specifies a custom URL for the server which reports variation data to the client. Specifying this switch enables the Variations service on unofficial builds. See variations_service.cc. ↪ |
| --version ⊗ | Prints version information and quits. ↪ |
| --video-threads ⊗ | Set number of threads to use for video decoding. ↪ |
| --viewer-launch-via-appid[4] ⊗ | Requests that Chrome launch the Metro viewer process via the given appid (which is assumed to be registered as default browser) and synchronously connect to it. ↪ |
| --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. ↪ |
| --wait-for-debugger ⊗ | Will wait for 60 seconds for a debugger to come to attach to the process. ↪ |
| --wait-for-debugger-children ⊗ | Will add kWaitForDebugger to every child processes. If a value is passed, it will be used as a filter to determine if the child process should have the kWaitForDebugger flag passed on or not. ↪ |
