Customizing Chrome preferences

[alexnguyennz]

Hi I'm wanting to customize the Chrome instance e.g. open the dock on the bottom - how would I do this if possible with WXT? Thanks.

You can customize any setting in your profile's Preferences file ( /path/to/profile/Preferences) via: https://wxt.dev/api/reference/wxt/interfaces/ExtensionRunnerConfig.html#chromiumpref

Docs may be out of date... Instead of using a nested object as shown in the examples ({ download: { default_directory: ... } }), you may have to use a flat key ({ "download.default_directory": ... })

The other option is to pass CLI flags: https://wxt.dev/api/reference/wxt/interfaces/ExtensionRunnerConfig.html#chromiumargs

I don't know which of these options you should use for your case. Or maybe neither will work and there's not a way to configure what you're trying to do 🤷 chrome isn't very good at allowing customization on startup

Thanks. Both nested and flat work (although chromiumPref is expecting a string).
