Is there a way to start Lacros in safe mode?

[david....@gmail.com]

I have st Lacros as the only browser and I occasionally after an update a flag I am using causes the browser to not start. That forces me to powerwash and set up again. I am using a number of flags and I would like to track down the flag(s) that create this issue. Much easier to not have to powerwash multiple times 😁 Is there a way to launch Lacros in safe mode or can I edit or remove a file that contains the flag information. I am in developer mode

there is no official way of doing this.

i don't think you need to powerwash -- just delete the account from the main login screen.

if you want to avoid even that, if you're in dev mode, you can prob hand edit the profile state to drop flags.  searching "chrome flag file" suggests some results that prob help.

Many thanks. For future reference, should anyone find this, I did end up hand editing the Local State file. It is a json file and from the crosh shell using vi I was not able to maneuver through the file but could search and replace.
