What if you want to copy Google Chrome to a non-system disk and copy USB flash drives? Then, the configuration file is also included with the chrome.exe main program? You can use the secret command line parameters! No installation, Instant copy.

Extract chrome from the system directory

Run Windows + R in Vista

Code: C:/users/Your username/Appdata/local/Google/chrome

Run Windows + R in XP

Code: C:/Documents and Settings/Your username/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/chrome

Copy the application folder and rename it "est Google Browser. Enter the folder and create a new folder namedEst_profile

Move all the folder files in the 0.2.149.27directory to the same directory as chrome.exe.

Initialize the configuration file

Then, win + R open the command line, CD to the path of the chrome.exe you copied, and run the Code:

chrome.exe --first-run --user-data-dir=est_profile

Create shortcuts to call the green version of Google Chrome at any time

Okay. Google Chrome is already in the current directoryEst_profileThe user configuration file has been initialized.

Then, set a shortcut for chrome.exe on the table. Right-click the shortcut and add the code after the "target:

--user-data-dir=est_profile

Complete path example: code:

T:/EST Google Browser/chrome.exe -- User-data-Dir = est_profile

Further customization of available parameters:

-- Single-process single process running Google Chrome reference:

Unlike IE and FF, theworld2 is a multi-threaded, one tab one thread, while Google Chrome is a multi-process browser, the advantage of multi-process is that the crash does not affect each other, But it occupies too much memory.

-- Start-maximized: start Google Chrome to maximize
-- Disable-Java: Java is forbidden. (The second security vulnerability in Google Chrome is Java. It's so hateful! Strictly speaking, this is caused by the old version of WebKit .)

For more parameters, see here. I am still sorting out

The above is what est found when reading the chrome_switches.cc source code.

Simplified Google Chrome

Chrome directory (originally under 0.2.149.27)
The installer subdirectory can be deleted directly.
Only the en-US.dll and zh-CN.dll are available under locales.

In this way, the total size of Google Chrome is 21.8 MB, which is much less than the default 46.5 MB.
