Google Chrome - Flags

[MatthewL]

Please move is not in appropriate area.

 

In Chrome under chrome://flags/ we need to disable two settings to enable a site to work, we cannot find a way of pushing it out easily via GPO any suggestions? Potentially have to push this out to our entire estate of thousands of machines.

In general you change the startup shortcut to add the flags

That is the only thing I could see. Wouldn't work for us if users create their own shortcuts.

Hi Matthew, could you indicate what the two settings are. Are you using the latest Chrome GPO templates?

[MatthewL]

Will update in the morning when logged back in, it's to do with cookies, there is no mention in the GPO's about setting them, had a good old Google too.

Just had a look into this and the flags settings are stored in a file 'Local State" That file is kept in the users' "%localAppdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data" folder.

 

It's a json file. However, the part you need is typically near the beginning, with a common section preceding it (for patter matching...)

 

{"browser":{"enabled_labs_experiments":[

 

the quoted parts following that section are flags. You'll have to play around with the flags you set and see what changes in that file.

Chrome has to be closed before you change that file manually.
