Google Chrome

To set Chrome to start a specific profile

If you are anything like me you'll have multiple profiles set in Chrome, either for multiple clients, different environments or simply to separate personal from work browsing.

Setting the profile can be done on the command line with this option:

--profile-directory=Profile 10

The profile directory can be found by looking in chrome://version . The command line can normally be appended to whatever icon you start it with.

To decrease security

Older devices like switches, routers etc, often don't have the latest encryption available. The 'correct' solution obviously, if they are out of support, is to throw them away and replace them, but that's not always practical or desired.

You can turn down the minimum acceptable encryption with this command line flag:

--ssl-version-min=sslv3

Permitted options are "sslv3", "tls1", "tls1.1" or "tls1.2" . There is also a --ssl-version-max option.
