Custom Brave switches

Switches

In addition to supporting all Chromium command line switches, the following switches are supported:

• npm start --disable_brave_extension: Disable loading Brave extension on startup (note: this only disable the extension control view, not Shields)
• npm start --disable_pdfjs_extension: Prevent installing the PDFJS extension
• npm start --disable_webtorrent_extension: Disable loading Brave WebTorrent extension on startup

Note: If you'd like to use yarn instead of npm you can use yarn import to create a yarn.lock file from our package-lock.json.

Useful Chromium switches which must be passed to the binary

• --show-component-extension-options
• --simulate-outdated simulate Brave being out of date (should show downloading in brave://settings/help)
