Is it possible to override Chrome browser settings from an extension somehow?
I'm particularly interested in the global "Encoding" setting, which is set wrong by default and causes problems with the "filesystem:" URL scheme.
Probably not, as it may pose a security risk; the browser should not allow extensions modify its settings.

Now that chrome 80 has implemented the samesite cookie enforcement - is there a way to turn that off?
You can disable this behaviour via chrome://flags. Specifically, you can enter these two into your location bar:
chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies
chrome://flags/#cookies-without-same-site-must-be-secure
Set both to "Disabled".
However, while this might be useful for dealing with sites that still need to update, I would not expect this to be a long term solution.
I am building an app that requires the user to change a Chrome setting. It will be more convenient to send the user directly to chrome://settings instead of having them open it manually via the menu, but when I try and open it directly or through a hyperlink on a web page, it always goes to about:blank#blocked. I have tried this on Windows, MacOS, and ChromeOS (including through a link in a TextView in an Android app), but the result is the same. Is this possible, or is it completely blocked for security or some other purpose?
i'll save you the trouble and let you know its not possible, and yes you're right due to security reasons
For Chrome on my local machine chrome://settings/ works. Well surely not impossible but still not that easy maybe this helps

I am not able to enabled javascript in Chrome. Option to enable/disable is coming as disabled (snapshot attached).
I tried installing different version also, but looks like versions are picking the same setting.
Anyone know how can I enable it via settings (some flag in preference directly), since button to enable it via UI is disabled itself.
Ok, I changed the manifest file inside
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Resources/com.google.Chrome.manifest/Contents/Resources/com.google.Chrome.manifest
Searched for JavaScript and changed DefaultJavaScriptSettings. It works for now.
How do I set Netbeans to use another browser as default for a new HTML5 project.
The default seem to always be "Chrome with Netbean Connector".
I do not have chrome installed and would like this default set to FireFox.
This seems to be a separate setting to the default browser in the options.
Go to Options - General Tab - Web Browser
and choose your desired browser
I am afraid this is not possible. But I would think this is easy enough to change after the project is created, through the browser icon in the main toolbar.
I've allowed Chrome to Load Unsafe content for a site by clicking on the Shield icon. How do I block it again?
Anything in Chrome's settings?
In Chrome settings -> Advanced Settings search for Enable phishing and malware protection under Privacy.
Also have a look at Check for server certificate revocation under HTTPS/SSL to allow or block unsafe content.
Hope this is something you are looking for.
