Hi!
I want to start Google Chrome with the command --proxy-server=localhost:8080. I read that it is possible to include this command in the exe file. But trying to do this since a couple of hours. Is there any tutorial or something similar?

Simply download Google Chrome Portable here : https://portableapps.com/node/22324
Then, copy the file GoogleChromePortable.ini which is located into the Other/Source folder to the launcher directory. Edit this ini with Notepad and search the line named "AdditionalParameters", and add after the equal your command,--proxy-server=localhost:8080. Save this file, and enjoy
Hi,
I've just used that trick.
I've edited the Other/Source/GoogleChromePortable.ini
the line
AdditionalParameters= --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8080
it does not work and even adding --assert-test or --crash-test (or --assert-test=true or --crash-test=true) change nothing.
It works well if I make a shortcut with that parameter:
...\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.exe --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8080
I would prefer it works in the launcher.
The best would be an option to use the proxy parameter of the launcher
anyway, it works and it is nice.
Option1:
You said you've edited "Other/Source/GoogleChromePortable.ini".
The ini file has to be located next to the GoogleChromePortable.exe. (simply copy paste)
Option2:
You can check the passed command line by using Process Explorer Portable:
If the command line parameter is present, maybe the parameter itself is incorrect?
Yes, I set the working directory!
Thanks for the explanation.
I missed the copy of .ini to .exe launcher directory...
It works perfectly.
sorry for the inconvenience.
