What would you like?

I'd like the option to be able to ignore chrome preferences load on relaunch

Why is this needed?

We have a browser application that encrypts the user data dir, causing relaunches of the browser not to work.

Hey @agentran, have you looked into using our existing Browser Launch API to change these preferences?

Hey @jennifer-shehane , this doesnt match the specifications of what we are trying to do.
here is the PR for reference.
#29332

We are trying to ignore loading the chrome preferences files from the --user-data-dir.
not sure how this relates to the browser launch API as I can't modify the files that we load by default no matter what..

Hey @jennifer-shehane,
I can confirm that the binary does work as expected for me locally 👍

@agentran You're welcome to use that binary for the time being. I do think they no longer stay available after something like 90 days? I'll discuss with the team how we would want to move forward with accommodating this.
