Has no effect unless --trace-startup is also supplied. Example: --trace-startup --trace-startup-file=/tmp/trace_event.log As a special case, can be set to 'none' - this disables automatically saving the result to a file and the first manually recorded trace will then receive all events since startup. ↪ Removed on 2014-11-14. This switch was listed in content/public/common/content_switches.cc. |
| --trace-to-console ⊗ | Sends a pretty-printed version of tracing info to the console. ↪ Removed on 2014-11-14. This switch was listed in base/base_switches.cc. |

| --type ⊗ | The value of this switch determines whether the process is started as a renderer or plugin host. If it's empty, it's the browser. ↪ Removed on 2014-11-14. This switch was listed in content/public/common/content_switches.cc. |
