Hello,

When Chromium works, it creates on the SD card BrowserMetrics à 4MB files. When Rapsberry Pi is used in Kiosk mode, just writing these files serves negligible purpose but damages the SD card long term. As outlined at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1171536 the BrowserMetrics files could be disabled by using --disable-features=PersistentHistograms, but for end users like me no additional information is provided. I tried using --disable-features=PersistentHistograms when calling Chromium, but it has still created BrowserMetrics files.

Can somebody provide me with information how to disable the generation on the BrowserMetrics files, by:

* passing command line parameters

* tweaking the system-wide master_preferences file, or

* tweaking the system-wide policy files.

Thanks in advance

Дилян
