--disable-web-security not working anymore in Chrome 30 - google-chrome

I updated Google Chrome to Version 30.0.1599.69 m. Now the "--disable-web-security" flag is not working. How do I to disable the websecuritiy in Google chrome Version 30.0.1599.69 m

I think the problem is with the chrome instance running in the task bar.
Please check whether any other instance of the Chrome is running in
the task bar. Even a single instance will not let chrome reflect the
command.
Kill all and then try running this command again.

extend disable web security command with --user-data-dir. This worked for me, more details are on >https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=575690
Command I use in windows :
"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Google Chrome.lnk" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir

Headless mode in chrome 97 is not working with windows auth

I use windows auth on build agent on teamcity
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--auth-server-whitelist=*");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist=*");
And run autotests in headless mode.
chromeOptions.AddArgument("headless");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("window-size=1920x1200");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--no-sandbox");
Everything has been working fine until Chrome was auto-updated to 97 version. After that my windows auth just stopped working(but it still works for runs without headless mode). I installed old Chrome version on my agents and it works again. But I want to continue both - get updates to Chrome and run my autotests in headless mode.
I tried to add some extra arguments but they didn't work.
options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
options.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
options.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--headless");
Any idea how to fix this issue?
The Chrome command line arguments changed from whitelist to allowlist:

Making that change seems to work for me.

Using VSCode WSL Remote, why won't Chrome Debugger launch Chrome for Windows?

I'm switching to VSCode WSL Remote mode for a JavaScript project. The Chrome Debugger Extension always look for Google Chrome in Linux. Is this the correct behavior?
I have a Chrome for Linux installed in WSL, which could run on X server. The problem is that the breakpoints are not working.
I've tried removing Chrome in WSL, the extension will then throw Can't find Chrome - install it or set the "runtimeExecutable" field in the launch config.
Should I set "runtimeExecutable" to chrome.exe or force it to run on local side with
"remote.extensionKind": {
"msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome": "ui",
}
Could I correct some config so that the Chrome Debugger can find the Chrome in Windows if there's no Linux install?
Is there any official guide for it?
Thanks!
Yes, you should set
"remote.extensionKind": {
"msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome": "ui"}
An alternative would be to set an alias chrome to go to chrome.exe in Windows. To ensure persistence, add it to your ~.bashrc or shell equivalent or alternatively .profile.
Side note: you should be able to debug with the new chromium-based Edge as well if you prefer using that.

Chrome Headless Doesn't work

I've read about the Chrome Headless from developers.google said we can run the Google without UI. Quote from that link :
Headless Chrome is shipping in Chrome 59. It's a way to run the Chrome
browser in a headless environment. Essentially, running Chrome without
chrome! It brings all modern web platform features provided by
Chromium and the Blink rendering engine to the command line.
Why is that useful?
A headless browser is a great tool for automated testing and server
environments where you don't need a visible UI shell. For example, you
may want to run some tests against a real web page, create a PDF of
it, or just inspect how the browser renders an URL.
This is really great feature, so I do some experiment with this cool feature. The idea is to taking snapshot as the document site by do call of chrome.exe from Windows Command Prompt, as follow :
chrome --headless --disable-gpu --screenshot https://www.chromestatus.com/
After do several times and following the instruction from these site. I got nothing. I don't get any picture or screenshot with name screenshot.png as document mention it before Running with --screenshot will produce a file named screenshot.png in the current working directory.
From this document also said about version,
Caution: Headless mode is available on Mac and Linux in Chrome 59.
Windows support is coming in Chrome 60. To check what version of
Chrome you have, open chrome://version.
after do some check with suggested before, I run chrome://version on my Chrome on Windows x64 Machine and got some result :
Google Chrome 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: Stable)
Revision 4fd852a98d66564c88736c017b0a0b0478e885ad-refs/branch-heads/3202#{#789}
What wrong? What i missed?
Thanks
After do some experiments. for --screenshot will save the image on the same level as chrome.exe location and that will be mean save on Program Files.
So we need need to combine parameter names and arguments with a =
--screenshot="D:\screen.png" will work, otherwise Chrome writes to it's installation folder. Big design flaw, no software should use it's installation folder as a working directory.
Here are the complete argument :
chrome --headless --enable-logging --disable-gpu --screenshot="D:\screen.png" "https://www.chromestatus.com/"

chrome.exe command line parameters for kiosk mode

I'm using chrome.exe version: 29.0.1547.66 m on a w7 pc.
I'd like to use command line parameters like --kiosk from the command prompt when starting chrome.
I found a list of switches here: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
When I type in:
chrome.exe --kiosk http://somesite.com
Chrome starts, it opens up the specified url, but not in kiosk mode.
It seems to ignore the --kiosk command. If I try --help as a flag, it gets ignored as well.
Is this supported on chrome.exe on windows? Should the commandline interface be enabled first somehow? Any thoughts?
Thanx in advance,
Paul
Problem solved ... also thanks to the post of ComFreek .... problem was about running instances of chrome.
As soon as I closed all running chrome instances before invoking chrome, the commandline options started to work.
--chrome-frame worked for me:
"c:\progra~2\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --chrome-frame --kiosk http://foldoc.org/pub/misc/automata.html

Google Chrome 21 is not supporting --disable-web-security command line switch

Since the latest release of Google Chrome browser version 21.* and Selenium Chrome Driver version 22.* , the special command line switch “--disable-web-security” which we have been using to test our iframes with different domain is no longer supported (deprecated).Is there any workaround for the same to automate our frame which is in different domain in Chrome browser?
Our existing functional Automation framework completely depends on this switch (--disable-web-security).Response would be appreciated.
You don't need a workaround, the flag still works, what's new is the warning.
I just performed a test using jQuery to send an AJAX request to another domain and it worked using the command-line flag, and it didn't when not using it.
It would be nice to have a way to disable the "yellow infobar", though.
(I'm running Chrome 21.0.1180.60).
You might also have to kill all running instances of the Chrome.exe running in the background before using the flag.
Yes. What turned out to be the issue is even after you close chrome... there is a chrome.exe process running. Kill it using taskmanager and the flag will work even in version 28
