Out of curiosity would it be possible to prevent,suppress or disable chromes internet connection locally.
The reason I ask is that I've enabled --allow-file-access-from-files for local use. I'm curious but could this be used maliciously if a user somehow accessed the web? At present I've not allowed them any way to get to the web but I'm curious about the security risks this may present.
Perhaps I'm being over cautious or maybe naive. I wondered if anyone has come across this dilemma before?

I haven't tried this, but you could try using the --host-rules flag e.g. --host-rules="MAP * 127.0.0.1" should make every address point to your localhost effectively preventing anything from successfully connecting to the internet.

that didn't prevent web access but I think this could be the way to do it. I'll do some more exploring and post the result here if it works. Thank youi for the info
