Creating Google Chrome shortcut with --disable-web-security
I am trying to access some local files via jqueryMobile, it works fine in Firefox and IE but Chrome gives a security exception. I can open Chrome in disabled security mode to access local files by using
C:\Program Files\Chrome\Chrome.exe --disable-web-security
or run it via this
chrome.exe --disable-web-security
but is there any way I can create a shortcut on desktop that will always open Chrome in disabled security mode?
Solution 1:
Just clone the shortcut for chrome you have on your desktop, and then in the shortcut properties add the parameter --disable-web-security
(and --user-data-dir
) at the end of chrome executable path
e.g
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="C:\tmpChromeSession"
Edit #1 : I changed google chrome path, the old one was not correct. I just tried it on XP with fresh Chrome installed, but i got a error message that this flag is not supported.

Solution 2:
First search Run
, then try this:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir="C:/Chrome dev session" --disable-web-security
Solution 3:
just a quick update, now you need not only --disable-web-security but --user-data-dir
to sum it up:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir
